It is getting close to time to leave for the airport. We have seen a lot this trip. We have met a lot of people with the same heart for Serbia as we have. We have seen God answer prayers in ways we couldn’t even imagine. We are so small and we so often think…
So much has happened on this trip! So much has happened just today! I wish I could tell you minute by minute all the amazing ways God has been working! But since I’m writing a blog post and not a book, I’ll just give you the highlights with a little Marabeth commentary! This morning Caitlin, Bethany and LaJuana…
I don’t know about you, but I like to be comfortable. I want to sit in a chair that reclines so I can watch T.V. and relax in my nice, air-conditioned living room. I don’t want my bed to be too hard to lay on or so soft it makes my back ache when I sleep…
Today’s pictures are the FBC Sherwood group walking downtown, through the park, and to the fortress. From there, we had a quick lunch and met with our friends Samuil and Lisa. Next stop – Marabeth, Caitlin, LaJuana, and Rodja went to the Royal Palace for a meeting with HRH Crown Princess Katherine Foundation. Ed, William,…
One last breakfast at Marijan and Slavica’s for this year’s trip. Several last hugs and shared prayers and promises to Skype more often and another hug and … out the door and on the van for Prokuplje. We arrived in Belgrade mid-afternoon, after a stop at a McDonald’s McCafe that you guys in America wouldn’t…
Yes, you read the title correctly. That’s what Marijan had to tell some of the members of his church, “Please don’t come to church tonight.” Why? There isn’t room for everyone to fit into the church. Look at the pictures above — standing room only — and still not enough room. The youth choir sang…
We have had a very busy couple of days! Thursday started off at 90 miles per hour (figuratively — not sure Marijan’s car is capable of those speeds, and we certainly aren’t walking that quickly!) — and things haven’t slowed down yet! Thursday morning was split into two tracks. One group (Marabeth, Bethany, Caitlin, Slavica…
I hate to fly. I especially hate to take off and land. It’s really a faith issue. I have trouble believing that a huge piece of metal can get into and stay up in the air. I guess I just think that if God wanted us to fly, He would have given us wings. However,…
Yes! It was a VERY productive day in Prokuplje and beyond! We stopped at a bakery on the way to the church and had a quick breakfast of burek, a pastry of filo-type dough with cheese inside. Then we had prayer at the church and headed to the school for another day of Children’s Club.…
Tuesday morning, Ed and LaJuana, Natasha and the girls won the “On Time Is Late for Leaders” race to breakfast. 🙂 Since LaJuana is writing the blog, I get to highlight that small win! It *was* the first time this trip that we won, and we have the shortest distance to walk to breakfast, just…
