LAST YEAR WE HAD such great success in our May 1st barbecue outreach that we decided to do the same this year, but make it an even larger event; but this year we are holding it on the 15th. As we did last year, we will be giving out free hamburgers and hot dogs; we plan to give out 400 meals in total. We will also be renting two inflatables, an inflatable jumping house and slide, and plan activities and games for the whole family. We will be baptizing 3 new believers and will be handing out tracts and witnessing to those who stop by. This year we are adding a stage for live music; at around 2pm we will start our first of four live gospel concerts. We are very excited about this huge outreach event and pray that God will give us abundant fruit from it. This is a perfect time for outreach since the weather is warming up and people are anxious to get out and enjoy the good weather. Also because it is a national holiday, people are not in a hurry and are willing to stop and chat for a while. Please keep this event in your earnest prayers, as well as all who are involved in leading this outreach.

THE LADY WE BAPTIZED THAT DAY shared with us about how God touched her heart as she began coming to church. She shared that when she began coming to our church she instantly sensed that we were a family; that we were like brothers and sisters. She also expressed how much love she felt among us. Not long ago her son was in a very serious traffic accident and did not receive a good report from the doctor. It was at this point that the love and closeness she had sensed became a reality for her as people were constantly expressing to her their concern and prayers for him. She also has witnessed several supernatural events in her life, one of which has touched her very deeply. For the past twenty years she has had a very rocky relationship with her father - they could not speak without their conversation dissolving into an argument. After having come to Christ she sat with her father and felt so much love for him, and he, too sensed that great love from her. It was the first time in a very long time she had felt such a love for him, and this time they spoke for a long time without arguing at all and by the end of their congregation he promised to get help for his alcoholism. This love and sense of family among us has helped to bring healing to her life in so many ways. We praise God for the great change that God has brought to her, and we believe that God has many more men and women whom He desires to heal and reconcile to Himself. Please keep our new converts in your earnest prayers, along with the great harvest of souls yet to be reached. |

AFTER TWO YEARS OF WAITING, praying and believing we have finally been able to finish the recording process on our 2nd live worship CD, Before the Holy King. We spent and intense two weeks in the studio and then eagerly waited to receive a copy of the final version of the CD. And we did not wait in vain! The final copy is incredible! Now we continue waiting on God and believing that He will provide the rest of the finances to be able to get the CD printed and ready for sale. We know that He is faithful and does all things good in His time. Please continue believing with us for His faithful provision. |
FINALLY, I AM EXCITED TO SHARE with you that God has miraculously provided my family and I an unbelievable opportunity. He has given us a 2-month sabbatical in the States - all expenses paid. During our stay our food, bills, accommodations, and transportation are all provided for! All we need to do show up and rest. I must admit that this comes at a very opportune time for my family and I. Since beginning ministry fifteen years ago, I have not had an opportunity like this to take time to rest and recharge. Please continue supporting us with your prayers and finances, as we will still need to cover our rent and utilities here in Croatia, as well as have income for while we are in the States.

IN HIM,
