Sorry for not having updated this lately, but we have a new blog in our Grace Community Church site >>> HERE <<<.

I have also started a craft blog that you can find >>> HERE <<<. Thank you for checking up on us.

It's been crazy busy over here with lots of ministry opportunities. We just had Dr. Barrick come to speak at the Expositors' and Bible conferences this past weekend. We

We are busily preparing for our trip back to the US. We can't believe it's less than a month away and I still have lots to do before we leave. The girls are giddy with excitement. They miss their grandparents very much and it'll be good for all of us to spend some time with our dear families, not to mention the many wonderful friends God has blessed us with.

I have a new stamp set coming out next week. Check out my craft blog for more info. Finally, I just posted some pics on Facebook, if you're interested. Have a good week.

We've had a pretty busy week with the GA team visiting and ministering alongside us. I will update more in our next prayer letter, but as usual, God blessed their time here with many opportunities to share the Gospel and sharing the love of Christ. The response they received, not only from the students, but also from the school administrators, were very encouraging. We are so thankful for their service and, not to mention the yummy goodies they brought . It was a special treat for me to converse in English with several adults (just to be clear - Kris is NOT boring , but it's nice to have a group of friends here). Pray for spiritual fruit from all their efforts.

On another note...Gracie has had a hard time this week. Almost all her classmates went through their first communion yesterday. It's a big deal because they get lots of gifts and they have parties. In fact, school started 2 hours later today just to accommodate the late party-goers, I guess. Lately, Gracie's friends have ganged up on her, telling her that Mary is God and was sinless. Gracie was shocked that they believe this and really take it hard. She even came home crying one day. Poor girl, even in her youth, she's starting to understand the cost of following Christ. Pray that her heart will continue to soften towards the Gospel.

I'll be teaching a lesson with our women next week, so I'd better finish that. I'm also writing an article for a crafts magazine about the crafting ministry here in Croatia. So, another busy week ahead for us, but it's good kind of busy .

We've been enjoying warm spring weather. It's like we skipped spring and went straight to summer.


I just posted more pictures on Facebook. (I just want to be a little bit more cautious about posting pics here, so please befriend me on Facebook to see the rest).

Prayer Requests:
1. Please pray for Katy's skin. It's been really bad lately and the medicine only works for a day or two. But because of the side effects, we can't use it too often.
2. Pray for our friend's mom who broke her hip while she's visiting from the US. They will try to fix it here. Hopefully, she'll be fine in time for her flight home sometime next week.

I want to leave you with the great words to one of my favorite modern hymns, "How Deep The Father's Love For Us." Every time I hear this song, I can't help but be overwhelmed with gratitude for God's abounding love for us. The depth of His love is only realized through understanding the sacrifice and worthiness of Christ.


Have a wonderful Resurrection Sunday.
