 Yum! A mustard, banana, ketchup, honey, popcorn, Smartie sandwich! Dan entertained some MK’s at a “circus” at Mission Training International during some of our training this summer.
This call gave us an added sense of urgency as we seek to be in Croatia in January so that we can settle in, start informal language learning and register for the language school which starts March 1. In this way, we will have some Croatian language skills before heading off to camp for the summer. Arriving in May or June would mean we would not be able to attend language school until October 2007, and our family would have less time to settle into a new country and culture before the chaos of summer camps hits. But we must be at 100% support in order to depart.
We are enjoying the peace and beautiful fall colors at the missionary house in Cambridge, MN. We have already seen several reasons why God wanted us here instead of Croatia this fall, yet we long to be in Croatia, beginning the ministry God has called us to—building relationships, proclaiming the Gospel, nurturing disciples and developing leaders through the camping ministry at the DPB House and in the capital city, Zagreb. Would you pray about partnering with us on a monthly basis to bring the light of Christ to Croatia? Would you join us in praying that God would provide the remaining 28% of our monthly support so that we can depart for Croatia in January?
