Graduates and Professors  On Friday, October 7, we celebrated the opening of the new academic year of the Biblijski institut. We have one of the largest incoming classes of new students in several years. This event was held at the largest and most prestigious museum in Zagreb, called Mimara. During the celebration we honored our […]

After about a six week process, and many trips to the local police station, I finally received my new Croatian Visa yesterday. Now I am again legal in the country until next September, when I have to go through this process again. Thanks to God for His provision in this.

Last Saturday we had our first Kidz Klub of this school year. It was a success! We spent the weekend before talking with kids and parents out in the parks in the neighborhood where we do the Kids Klub. We also sent invitations to all the kids who attended Champs Camp in the summer. Our […]

After a summer full of three camps in two different countries, a quick trip to Texas, and a few days vacation time, I am back in the office at the Institute.  I also celebrated my birthday at the end of August (see the photo below).  Several friends here helped me celebrate by taking me to […]

Last night the Hillsong Australia worship team presented a worship concert here in Zagreb.  It was very well attended.  This kind of event is quite a big deal here, in a country that is less than .005% evangelical Christians.  There were also people from the surrounding countries that came.  In addition to Croatia, I talked […]

I have been involved with the annual summer Bible camp here for almost as long as I have been coming to Croatia.  The first summer I came to participate in the camp was in 1997.  This summer marked the fifth time I was involved.  This summer I taught the teenagers’ class, along with my friend […]

What a great success Champs Camp was!  Thank you God for the favor you showed us in this event.  In the first part of July we had a large group from Round Rock, Texas come to share Champs Camp with the children of Croatia and Slovenia.  They do this camp each summer at their church […]

Advertising for Champs Camp  I can’t believe it’s been more than a month since I have posted something here.  It’s mainly due to preparations for Champs Camp, which have kind of taken over everything else with me right now.  Champs Camp will happen here in Zagreb on July 4-7 and in Sevnica, Slovenia on July […]

April 20-24 was our church’s 16th annual spiritual renewal retreat on the coast in Crikvenica, Croatia.  We spent four days hearing lessons on the cross and resurrection, in small group discussions, and generally enjoying fellowship with one another.  I led the teens each morning in their small group.  It was a great time with these […]

Last weekend I went to Graz, Austria (about 2 hours drive from Zagreb) to work with one of our Institute board members, Thomas Lang, on our distance learning program.  Thomas was born and raised in Graz and he and his wife work with a church there.  He and I have been researching six different technologies/methods […]
