During June 13-16 we again held our annual Champs Camp outreach, for children 6-12 years old from neighborhoods in the city. This year we again had two different camps in different parts of the city, but this time we held them at the same time. We had a larger than usual group of American volunteers […]

  I am pursuing building a house in Croatia. It will look something like the photo above, except with a garage in a basement, instead of the ground floor as in this photo. This is a quite common house design here. This is another big project (although more personal) that I have been working on. In […]

In addition to my regular administrative duties at Biblijski institut, I am working on two important projects: The first is coordinating our 6th annual Champs Camps for neighborhood children, which will happen next month. We are planning for 130 children at both the Jarun Lake in southwest Zagreb, and also at our building in the […]

I have been leading a small group of youth and singles from our church this school year. We meet weekly as a group, to study something from the Bible and pray for each other. Today I had them out to my property for the afternoon and evening. We enjoyed a barbecue dinner together, a hike […]

These dear friends came to share great preaching each evening; as well as to share Jesus, and themselves, with our youth. They shared with the youth about […]

So much has been happening that I have not updated this blog in a long time. I am going to attempt to correct that oversight in several posts over the next few days, and starting here: In February, we at Biblijski institut received a candidacy visit from representatives of the European Evangelical Accrediting Association (EEAA).

Another great way I started the New Year was by helping to lead, and participating in our winter Champs Camp at our church/institute building on January 8 and 9. As usual, the kids enjoyed Bible lessons, singing, games, and crafts. Almost all of the kids that came were ones from the first summer Champs Camp […]

Last week, on New Year’s Day, I started the day by driving up into the mountains west of Zagreb to my friend Zoran’s house, who lives out there. We hiked to the top of the hill above his house and then enjoyed a visit over coffee and cake in his home, along with his mother. […]
