A few pictures from the last few weeks

Above: Lizzie and Cameron pet the Massey's neighbor's new little baby goats. These neighbors, Stef and Marica, have come to our church service a few times.

Humanitarian Aid Work

We've mentioned before (in newsletters) that we've had the chance to help a number of households in the villages near Karlovac and in the villages outside of Samobor. We're so excited to be able to be a part of justice in distributing food and basic supplies to those who otherwise can not afford it. We believe this is God's heart and we believe because it is God's heart, it is an act of bringing His Kingdom on the earth. It's almost like an act of prayer asking God to distribute justice, kindness, and love in Croatia.

Below are some pictures of some of the people we've been able to help. We continue to help these people monthly.


Below: This woman is neighbors with her sister. They are Serbians from Belgrade and their children rarely if ever help them. This woman's roof is still in bad condition from what happened in the war in the early 90's. We hope to be able to take care of that.

Below: These 2 women are neighbors and are so sweet. The woman on the right is the spunkiest 76 year old you've ever met. The one on the right is primarily very sad because she can't see her daughter and grandchildren in Belgrade very often. Life is hard for these women.






I'm sorry I have run out of time to continue describing each picture in detail. I will in our newsletter at a later time. Hope you enjoyed the pictures of these beautiful people!

Once

Just watched a great movie last night with Laura. For music lovers, it's a must see. This is what gripped me in the movie. You might have heard of it. It's a little Irish film called "Once" that has become pretty popular. The soundtrack is outrageously good...the kind I can't stop listening to. The story line is slightly slow, yet also full of character. They say it was filmed in Dublin in 17 days. The credits at the end of the film lasted about 3 minutes as opposed to a normal 10-15 on a big budget movie. All that to say, despite it's small budget, it's full of life and worth a watch. Here's a link below to the trailer.
