Zenica is about a five hour drive southeast from Zagreb, in the very heart of Bosnia. Max and Liz have been missionaries there for about 14 years. I led a summer camp team to […]

 Earlier in April, we held our spring spiritual renewal retreat at the Christian Life Center in Crikvenica, on the coast. I led the discussion group with the teens.
