Srcokret Youth Festival

Last week the Srcokret Christian Youth Festival was held on the Croatian coast, near the town of Primošten. This is an event that happens every few years and involves youth not just from Croatia, but from all over the region. “Srcokret” is a play on words that means, “turning of the heart.” And that is what we did. For six days, over 1,200 young people gathered from all over the former Yugoslavia to turn their hearts toward God together. It was a great time of camping, fellowship, learning, worship, and prayer. There were daily morning and evening times of worship; afternoon small group workshops; and a prayer tent was kept going 24 hours a day. My friend, Andrea Gelemanović, and her band led worship one evening, using some of her original worship music. I took and shepherded seven teens at the festival.
