Today was the final full day in Croatia. We have been richly blessed by God and the people here. Melanija brought back the charcuterie board with yogurt, muesli, and eggs, as we considered the doctrine of sin and salvation over coffee. At 11:30, it was time to say ciao to our friends and head to […]

Prayer for Sunday service started at 9:30am. Pastor Milan prayed for Scott, the message from Zachariah 1, the churches in SLC, and for God’s name to be glorified wherever he’s worshipped. About 70 people rolled in as praise music began. After the service, we visited with church friends we’ve met over the years. Then off […]

Pastor Milan invited us to meet another church member on the island of Krk. But Maja had a last minute family engagement, so we visited Adriana instead. She lost her mom to cancer after our visit last year. But you wouldn’t be able to tell from her neverending smiling face. She is always full of […]

Pastor Milan Špoljarić of Crkva Krista Kralja (Christ the King Church) went on a morning stroll with us to the nearby auto part store in Rijeka. The bumper of our rental car kissed the curb a little too fast, and the license plate holder needed to be replaced. Pastor Milan officially retired from church but […]

Another praying, cultural and northward travel day. This time from Split to Rijeka. We crossed through an outdoor market featuring local fruits, vegetables and flowers. That lead into Split’s old town, starting with Roman emperor Diocletian Palace. The area above ground changed over the centuries, but the subterranean floor was buried by time until rediscovered […]

Another transit day. Thankfully there was less rain than yesterday. After checking out of our room, we trekked 2.4 km on the city walls and prayed. The stunning coastline was a testament to God’s glory. We prayed for godly leadership, for permanent locations, for the Holy Spirit to open hearts, and for wisdom of the […]

The plan for Dubrovnik was meeting a few members from the Baptist Church. But John Lehn got miserably sick from the conference, and no one else was available to interpret. Please pray for John and several others who suddenly became ill and missed the conference entirely. It was like something was preventing connection between churches. […]

Today was a transit day. We meandered back through the island of Korćula and drove down the coast to Dubrovnik. The ferry left at 12:40pm so we had some time to explore old town Korćula. One of the earliest laws of this area was a protection of the phrase “Made in Korćula,” written in 1214. […]

Because there was a large traveling dance troupe staying at Hotel Dalmicija, it was overbooked, and our reservation canceled. However, we were the blessed recipients from the abundance of food. Free pizza, breakfast buffet, and meat plate. A great start before heading to Hotel Korkyra bar for Sunday service. The Evangelical Pentacostal Church of Korčula […]

We set off from Split at 7:30 am (aka midnight Utah time), filled up with $7 per gallon gas, and got our picture and fingerprints taken at the border into Bosnia. The rolling hill coastline was still spectacular, even through sleepy eyes. The Regional Christian Conference gathers 8 churches around the southern Croatia and Bosnia […]
