Still in Croatia & Still loving it!!

Our return to Split was not alone, welcoming another 17 people into our Croatian home was a beautiful challenge and has enabled many wonderful conversations with our Austrian and German brothers and sisters. Every morning of prayer, devotion and song has really prepared us for the evangelistic outreaches during the day.

First off, we handed out flyers on the streets about as a part of an outreach with Pastor Uwe's Church.

Another aspect of the outreach was busking with a twist. Please come and listen to us singing to our Lord, but instead of paying us, we want to give you free literature.  The Holy Spirit really moved,enabling good conversations with the locals as well as several people taking the Christian literature and Bibles.

In this time, we had an awaited visit from James (our leader at OM office). The above photo shows Meg, Coxy and some others evangelising in Split as they wait for James' plane to arrive. No time was waisted whilst waiting, as they shared Christian literature, songs and more importantly, God's love, 

Go4Jesus

 We had an amazing time at the Go 4 Jesus conference in Cakovec. After preparing the farm for the arrival of 70+ young (18 - 25) and passionate German and Austrian brothers and sisters, we preceded to serve along side them and acted as a flame in keeping spirits high. The Lord gave us fruitful conversations that challenged them and us. The conference prepared all of the teams for outreaches in the Balkans.

During the conference, our team visited a local school and presented skits, shared testimonies and challenged students with questions about Jesus Christ. Whilst most students were unresponsive, it was evident that the topics we touched on stirred their hearts. Some students even took photos with us after class.

Reach out to the Balkans.

The conference in Croatia was amazing! In praying for and preparing to go the Balkans, we fellowshipped with people around the world - well no really it was just Austrians and Germans (with a couple of Romanians). These days were filled with powerful prayer, lessons on evangelism and perhaps most importantly getting to know our brothers and sisters in Christ. We have now returned back to Split, Croatia with 17 other people to share the good news, the BEST news :)

Milk and Manure

We said a temporary goodbye to our coastal town of Split and headed, with Pastor Uwe, to a conference north of Croatia. To our surprise we arrived at a dairy farm and enthusiastically helped the farmers with their daily milking of the cows. 
We all milked a few cows, but after a short while, the men left us for a 'special' job. Yep you guessed it...SHOVELLING COW MANURE.

Loving Through Labor

Our team has been working with Uwe and Edita Muller supporting their ministry in Split. Sunday we had a wonderful time of fellowship with the local church, sharing testimonies, songs and skits. This week we have served  practically by cleaning and organizing the storeroom for Uwe’s Christian bookstore. We had much laughter and fun, but work was still done, check out the results below. 

Boys will be boys. We can always count on them to keep things light-hearted.

We have had many chances to engage with the body here through kids work, Bible studies, and meals with the lovely Croatian people. Please pray as we prepare for a conference that will focus on outreach in the Balkan region.

Bibles and Beaches

Everyday is ministry on the Transit Team. The 2 days travel to Croatia enabled a lot of team bonding and even sharing the gospel. We gave away 2 Bibles - one to 2 girls whilst filing up on gas and the other to a German man on the ferry. The mountainous drive brought us to the beautiful Croatia. God has blessed us with a house that is only 212 stairs to the water. During our day off, we met several individuals and God provided the opportunity to engage in conversation and bless them with New Testaments.
