Subject: Croatia, days 12-16: R&R, travel and now home from Croatia

Thank you for praying for us and the team we led to Croatia. We praise God for the six young adults from Iowa, Colorado, and Hungary who traveled to Sisak, Croatia, for a 10-day summer trip, along with our family (pictured below) and the career Pioneers team serving in Croatia.

After the team left, we stayed on in Croatia for R&R at the Croatian coast as a gift from our Croatian friends. We enjoyed the beauty of the Croatian coast and Adriatic Sea, touring Roman ruins and spending time with friends (pictured below).

Here is a quick recap of our outreach time with the team: We were able to minister in three Roma villages–Kutina, Capraške Poljane, and Palanjek. Over 100 children, teens & adults came to the Bible clubs (VBS and day camp). The message of the Gospel was shared through songs, crafts, dramatized Bible skits, audio recordings of the Bible, games, memory verse learning, a sermon, a testimony, and audio recordings of Bible stories. See pictures below.

We handed out free copies of the Gospel of Luke and 50 chronological Bible stories in their Roma languages (Bayash and Ludari), along with cards containing the website address where they can access them in digital and audio formats for free (pictured below).

It was especially thrilling to show parts of the LUMO Gospel of Luke film in these two languages, with about 80 people attending. This was history in the making, since, as far as we know, these films had never been shown in a public setting before. We showed three chapters in Bayash in Palanjek on the side of a house and three other chapters in Ludari on a soccer court, then told them how they can access the full four-hour film online, word-for-word from the Gospel of Luke (pictured below).

Please pray that God will give a hunger for His Word to the people of these three villages, that they would remember what we taught them, that they would read, listen to, and watch the Gospel of Luke and the 50 chronological Bible stories in their heart languages. Pray that many would come to Christ and that Gospel-preaching churches would be planted in these locations.

Thank you for your prayers and support!
