Early last month, we held the 7th annual leadership conference of the Churches of Christ in Croatia. This is a weekend each March that is set aside for the leaders of the various congregations to come together for fellowship and encouragement. There is time for each congregation to share both its triumphs and trials of the last year and then the leaders of each church are prayed over and for by the group. I was there and my Croatian is coming along enough that I was able to speak in Croatian as I represented both the Biblijski institut and the Kušlanova Church of Christ. The theme of this year’s conference was “Joined and Held Together in Jesus.”
