Last Friday I went and helped my friend Ivan (also our registrar at Biblijski institut) to clear the land he owns out in a village west of the city. This is the same village where our director and his wife live. It is also the area where I am looking for and considering land to […]

Today was the first day back at work for the staff of Biblijski institut, after the August break.

Marina is our secretary/financial manager […]

I celebrated my birthday yesterday, and it was a great day. It all actually started on Saturday, with a picnic with some friends at a castle in the northern part of Croatia. Then yesterday morning, two other friends met me for coffee and one of them went on a hike with me to the top […]

Here I am with my discussion group of teenagers at our camp on the coast earlier this month. We are joined by a few of the adults who know them. I invited these adults to speak some words of life and encouragement to the teens. This was after our “experiment” in following Jesus. I first […]
