Back to School

It's autumn in Croatia, and that means nice weather, beautiful colors, and back to classes. Our boys are back at the books, and so are the university students. Time for everyone around here to get back to work...



Students working at a team building exercise

Leaders' Retreat in Zagreb

Eleven students from the STEP group in Zagreb and I (Larry) drove way up into the mountains to enjoy a weekend together of team building, Bible Study, planning and prayer and worship. The students were enthusiastic and full of ideas and hope for the coming year. Ivana, one of the students who attended our Small Group Leader's Training last January, was there, and she was planning her upcoming group. "I am so excited to lead this group," she told me, "I am glad that I don't have to preach, but just get others to talk and to see what the Bible says." She wants very much to serve God in this way.

A Visit to London Rebecca and I (Larry) made a trip to London in late August to attend the IFES Orientation for all staff in Europe. It was a refreshing time for us, a chance to talk with others doing the same sort of work we're doing and having the same struggles. The counrtryside where we had the conference was gorgeous, too.

Decision Time

It's hard to believe, but we've been in Croatia now for nearly 3 years! So, we've basically completed our initial 3-year commitment and need to decide whether to stay some additional time or to pursue another direction. Some factors that play into this are Croatia's new visa laws (which make it much harder for us to get our visas), increasing costs, and our boys' education needs. We need wisdom, and would appreciate your prayers for us during this process!
