Day 2 – March 20, 2025
Ivan mercifully moved one of our appointments from this morning to Saturday. Otherwise, 7-hour difference would’ve made it 3 AM MST. Today Kika couldn’t make it so we met other church members Krešo, Lorena and son Karlo Brandt instead. Over prosciutto, various drinks, dessert and other goodies, all homemade, we shared our stories from afternoon […]
Day 1 – March 19, 2025
After 11 hours of flight time and 3 hours of airports security, we made it to Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. Danijel and Ksenia Krizmanic, our missionary friends, were in town for the baby’s check up and were able to meet us briefly. Please pray for the family’s health. They still have long recoveries from […]
Croatia Mission Trip 2025
Keep up with our missionaries in Croaita as they minister to the people in Croatia during their 2025 mission trip.
Day 10 Feb 18, 2024
Day 10 Feb 18, 2024 We spent our last full day in Croatia worshipping with Crkva Emanuel Varaždin. Tono says the language of heaven is Spanish, but I think it might be Croatian. The believers here were spirit-filled praising the many names of God. Our churches were separated by eight time zones, but the services […]
Day 9 Feb 17, 2024
Day 9 Feb 17, 2024 Today was spent with the Krizmanic family seeing the countryside. After meeting them at their apartment, we drove to Trakošćan Castle near the Slovenian border about 50 minutes from Varaždin. The earliest parts of the castle were constructed in the 13th century and passed between several families. From the mid 16th […]
Day 8 Feb 16, 2024
Day 8 Feb 16, 2024 Last night we closed the shutters and at last did not wake up with the sun. Filled with leftover pizzas for breakfast, we explored our new town, starting with the castle. It looked formidable surrounded by 20+ foot high earthen mound and now emptied moat. The museum inside displayed weapons, […]
Day 7 Feb 15, 2024
Day 7 Feb 15, 2024 Checkout time for Rijeka. We had a wonderful time visiting many friends there and sharing stories of how God loved them. Now onto another church in Varaždin. But first a small chat with the pastor of the Baptist Church in Karlovac on TV. He had a show that aired Monday […]
Day 6 Feb 14, 2024
Day 6 Feb 14, 2024 Another interesting day. Radio Rijeka interviewed us at Krista Kralja as visiting church guests. Tatiana asked about our background, our beliefs, and our third trip there for love of the people and oneness in Christ. We also touched on science, how the Theory of Evolution and genetics could not account […]
Day 5 Feb 13, 2024
Day 5 Feb 13, 2024 Our free day started even brighter. The rain clouds were gone! Our goal was to visit Plitvice Lakes, a Croatian National Park. On the way was a stop at Nikola Tesla Experience in Karlovac. This was a nice little museum that highlighted his education and personal history. Croatia is proud […]
Day 4 Feb 12, 2024
Day 4 Feb 12, 2024 The weather changed our plan a bit, but the bright cloudy sky still woke Scott up at 7:30. Ivan met us at Trsat Castle, which had an amazing view over the center of town. After climbing the tower and looking above the city, we headed to Otok Krk (Krk Island), […]
