Last Sunday I visited one of our Bible Institute students, Vanja Kleindienst, and her family in the small mountain village where they live in Razbor, Slovenia.  Vanja and her husband Sergej minister to a small church that meets in their house.  Their village recently lost their resident parish priest.  In his absence, Vanja and Sergej have become the de facto spiritual leaders in this small community.  We have a group of Americans coming from Round Rock, Texas to do a camp this summer in the nearby town of Sevnica.  Vanja and Sergej will be our hosts for this camp and then will conduct follow-up ministries with the children and their families after the team leaves.  It was a great day with Vanja and Sergej and I look forward to the time in the summer with them.
