I mentioned in my last post that I immediately became very busy upon arriving back in Croatia, after my extended time in the USA at the end of 2013. This was due mainly to preparations for our Jesus Conference, which we held on January 23-25. I was responsible for many of the logistical details of […]

I realized over the last weekend that I have not posted on here since October, after being in the USA with my family for three months at the end of 2013, around the time of my mother’s death. I guess I have been that distracted with the events of the last few months. I will […]

Beautiful Logarska Dolina (Logar Valley) On the way I arrived back in Texas on Tuesday of this week. I have come to spend several weeks with my family during what is most likely the last few weeks or months of my mother’s life. It is both a sweet and sad time. I want to relate […]

Mladen and his wife Dragica Another recent event that has contributed to my feeling of this being a very surreal time was the death of our friend and brother, Mladen Jovanović. Mladen passed away suddenly at his home on Friday evening, September 6. His funeral was on Wednesday, September 11. Really all of last week […]

We thank God also for His blessings in this event. This was the third annual Champs Camp in Zagreb. We had several Americans who came to lend their talents, […]

I often “moonlight” with a second Croatian church by attending their Friday evening worship/Bible study time. I am developing some friends there and it is a good source of fellowship for me personally. I have also found some additional opportunities for ministry with them. During this school year, I have been going with some of […]

I recently participated in the Outdoor Leadership Lab, put on by Društvo Prijatelja Biblije (Association of Friends of the Bible). This was a weekend spent in the beautiful Gorski Kotar mountain region of Croatia, and was all about showing how to use backpacking and the outdoors to teach people about Jesus. It was a great […]

It occurred to me this week that I haven’t posted here in quite a while. Ironically, you can chalk that fact up to having too much going on and not enough time to devote to writing here, rather than not having enough news to report. It’s actually been a rather busy season this spring. We […]
