Yugoslav nostalgia

In Nis, Serbia is a cafe bar called "Broz." It is a bit of nostalgica expression of a yearning for the old days of Tito and Yugoslavia. Anyway it was fun to meet up with 'ol "Broz" and even better to enjoy a lovely coffee with good friends!

Road Irony

Look closely at the attached picture. First of all you will see we are following "Christ." That is good. Followers of the true and living Christ are to follow Him in all things. Now, look at the license plate on the truck. You will notice "NP" on the plate. NP signifies the city of Novi Pazar deep in SW Serbia, very near the Montenegrin border. Novi Pazar is also one of the key cities in an area called the "Sandzhak," which was a corridor set up by the Ottoman Turks allowing Muslims to travel from Turkey to Albania and up to Bosnia-Herzegovina. This corridor is still today highly Muslim with virtually no Gospel witness of anykind. The corridor runs roughly along the Serbian/Montenegrin border and is on both sides of the border. So, the irony: following "Christ" from one of the main Muslim centers in Serbia and Montenegro. Go figure! But also pray for this corridor in Montenegro and Serbia. How can we take the Truth into this large area?

Dobra Voda 2008

Camp was a great hit for the 35 children and teens that were a part of Bible Camp 2008 in Dobra Voda, Montenegro. The campers were challenged to have the faith and prayer life of Nehemiah while they enjoyed swimming in the Adriatic Sea, frienshipping, handwork, and the other fun parts of camp. Please pray with us about camps in 2009. Our funding for Montenegro was stopped by the person who had helped fund the camp for the past three years, meaning we have no funding at all for next year. By faith we desire to have two camps, one for children, the other for teens. One camp is approximately $4,400 or about $80 per camper. Thanks for reading and enjoying the pictures.
