Subject: Packing for Croatia; prayer requests for final preparations

Next Wednesday, we leave for Croatia, so we have been busy packing and preparing for all the logistics to run the Vacation Bible School for children and teen day camp for Roma there with our summer teamers. (Above: Pam packing; below: team skit and song practice at our house)

Our church youth group (pictured below) helped us by bagging up candy and preparing crafts for the Roma children.

A few of our summer teamers are still short of the donations they need to cover their costs for the Croatia outreach. Some of them are having a car wash at their church, this Sunday, Father’s Day, June 15, from 1-4 p.m. at Heartland Church, 400 SW Lake Village Blvd, Blue Springs, MO 64014.

  1. Please pray that they can raise at $1,750 on Sunday. If you live nearby, consider stopping by to get your car washed and make a donation to help with the trip, or take your dad’s car there as a gift for him!

  2. Please pray for me (Todd) for God’s wisdom and enablement as I prepare five devotional messages to share with the summer team, and two sermons to preach in Croatian in Slavonski Brod.

  3. Please pray for good health for all of us, enough sleep before the trip, and for no ill effects with Daniel’s noise sensitivity/tinnitus.

Daniel has been busy with work projects on our house and working for our neighbor. Ariela finished the year with American Heritage Girls (AHG), earning numerous awards and participating in a “crossing over” ceremony to the high school level of AHG (pictured below). She did a great job at the AHG entrepreneurs’ fair. Also, I recently enjoyed a nice visit with my mom, Geri, at her nursing home in Oklahoma City. In the picture below, she is admiring the watercolor Kirsten made for her!


Thank you for your prayers.

Todd
