Ministry update!

Praise God for a great Sunday! Our Gypsy work is going great with the kids. For the last 5 weeks we have averaged about 85 kids. It has been such a joy to work with these children and show them the love of Christ. So many of these children just need someone to love them. 

It is turning cold, so pray for this work. As you will see in the pictures below there are no doors or windows in the building we are meeting in. That hasn't been a problem for now, but winter is coming and it can get cold in Croatia.

We also had Harvest Sunday in our church in Cakovec. God blessed with a full house and we had many visitors. Bro. Rich preached a great message about God's harvest. There was food and fellowship following the service which is what all good Baptist know how to do.

By the end of the day our team was pretty exhausted. But no one was complaining for everything that was done was done for our Savior the Lord Jesus Christ!

God answers prayer!

A few weeks ago we had one of the biggest problems with our bus ministry that we've ever had. Bro. Sam and I took two vans out to a village called Trnovec. When we got there we saw a mob of children running toward the vans. There had to have been about 70 kids there, and we only had places for 18. We packed what we could in the vans, and we're heartbroken because of all the kids left behind. We began to pray fervently for God to do something about this need. I told the people to pray that God would give us a place close to the village or better still in the village. We were willing to rent something, though we had no idea how we could afford another building.

That week one of our men said he had a cousin in the village who had a building and would probably rent it to us. We set up a time to meet, and were surprised when we learned that this man was saved several years ago. He said we could use his place and the rent would be nothing. He wanted to help spread God's Word to his people.

Last Sunday we had our very first meeting there, and God really blessed. I was told there were over 100 that showed up. We had a program for the kids and I preached about Jesus! We took many pictures and they are here for you to enjoy!

Next to me you will see Bro. Dean. He came and translated me into Gypsy. I preached in Croatia and he put it all in Gypsy.

Tori is talking to many of these woman. Most of them were surprised that she would talk to them.

No I'm not trying to lay hands on anyone. I'm praying and trying to get the kids quite at the same time.
