Time in Croatia

Just had a great week in Croatia catching up with the Balkan team and meeting new members. It is so great to hear about what God is doing in the Balkans. Every time God does His thing it's incredible, but one of the miracles we are praising Him for is the fact that we are only a couple thousand dollars away from meeting the end of May deadline for paying the final Ringjallja payment. We are all WOW'ed at how the Lord has moved His people to give so graciously to the ministry center there. We are trusting that the rest of that money will come by the 31st and the church and the team will receive the "paid in full" papers from the owner. What a celebration that will be.

It was exciting to go on a cyber tour of the new ministry center building that is being renovated in Sarajevo and to hear how the Lord provided that building for rent. I can't wait to hear how God works in mighty ways there too.

It was fun spending time with the Macedonia group and hearing how God has been working in many ways there as well, but also hearing about the challenges that are faced there as new laws go into place which complicate some work that is going on.

In the midst of hearing about the blessings, I was reminded too of how much the kingdom work takes a toll on worker's bodies, soul and spirits. Many workers are tired (there is too much to be done and not enough laborers), have health issues, and fight personal battles as well. I thank all who have given to the Great Commission Fund and to Compassion and Mercy Associates general fund which enabled our workers to step away from the front for a bit and to take a breather, get refreshed and to be touched by God before going back in. It is such an invaluable time for us. So if you are reading this, and you have given, THANK YOU!
