Awana in Croatia
I will start by saying that this is not our ministry, but that of another Baptist church in Croatia. We are so excited for the burden and vision of Petrinja Baptist church!! Please pray for Awana and how it will reach Croatian boys and girls for Christ. AWANA has a special place in my heart!

Perfect Timing
Not too long ago a lady I was talking to at church asked me if I knew of the missionary family who lived near the border between Slovenia and Croatia. I said no, but immediately wanted to know more because she too was a homeschool mom and a mom to two girls just like myself.
Naturally I looked her up on Facebook and sent her a message ackwardly explaining who I was and how I found her. After a day or so I knew that I probably would never hear from her and she probably thought I was crazy! LOL
Well, finally I did hear back from her and was delighted to hear that her girls were very close in age to my daughters ages. We were making plans to meet for coffee but both got busy with life. However, this past week I ran into her just outside the store and we made plans to meet the next day.
Let me just tell you, I am so thankful for these people and the blessing they have been already. It is really hard for kids to make friends on the mission field if they are not going to school there. My kids have struggled for five years. I am praying that this will be a beautiful new beginning for my girls. Now the only problem is moving Noah's friend Chriśtian from Sisak closer and things would be perfect!
God's timing is always perfect and He always gives us what we need, when we need it.

....
Well, it has been almost three months since we arrived in Croatia and I'm just now able to update you on our family. I don't know what I was waiting for?! The perfect milestone maybe? Thanksgiving and Christmas have both come and gone and now we are in a brand new year. We have our visa, new to us vehicle that I can actually drive, and finally on Friday we received our crate full of things we collected on furlough. This crate also contained a few Christmas gifts from Nana.
Our first three months in Croatia have been good...God has been so good to us.

Reminiscing ...
Our kids did a great job representing Croatia in our home church's Annual Missions Conference. I hope it is a blessing to your heart. So glad we have a missions minded church who is willing to send light all over the world.
