My sweet mother, with my sister Karen Well, I haven’t posted on here in a while and I figured it was probably time to explain partly why, by giving an update on my family. So much of my time and emotional energy recently has been spent helping and serving them. I spent an entire month […]

Champs Camp III a Great Success!
Held June 17-20, Champs Camp was a great success again this summer, thanks to all the children who participated, their parents, and our wonderful volunteers. 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, […]
Children’s Home English Workshop
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 […]
Outdoor Leadership Lab
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 […]
I’m Back
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 […]
Recent Activities with Teens
I have recently had several opportunities to work with our teens. One Saturday in March I was invited by the church in Varaždin (about an hour’s drive north of Zagreb) to go teach a class for teens. Last week I led the teen discussion group at our annual spiritual renewal retreat on the coast. Last […]

The team is led by student Filip Grujić and sponsored by staff and faculty member Ivan Karadža. They have been competing in a Zagreb inter-university league. Most of the […]
Back in Zagreb and…Snow of the Century
Well, it seems I haven’t posted on here in a while. I spent three weeks in December in Texas. While it was great to be with my family for some time around Christmas, it was also a time full of visiting with supporters, mailing ministry reports, and so on. I arrived back in Zagreb on […]
Thanksgiving in Croatia
Last Thursday evening I went to Varaždin, a small city in the northern part of Croatia. I was invited by a church there to come to their Thanksgiving celebration. They used this as an evangelistic event and they invited several people with whom they have been studying the Bible. I was one of two Americans […]
