Last week was a busy week but a resting week at the same time. CEF workers from Slovenia went to Hungary for the conference of CEF Central Europe. Around 180 people came and it was great and amazing to see and hear how CEF works, to meet the president of CEF for Central Europe, the president of CEF for Europe and the president of the whole CEF! The gave us a beautiful presentation/report of how CEF is working, which countries and how many are left. Each central Europe country also told about their ministry and how Good News Clubs and Camps are going.
Our team was quite big - my pastor Zvonko and his wife Dubravka, Metka (my mentor), Alenka, an older lady that helps as a volunteer in CEF, and me from Ljubljana - but another CEF worker Tončka came (she works in Murska Sobota) and she brought another girl , Petra, that's interested in working with CEF. Our team was really united and we had a lot of fun getting to know each other and enjoying our company. We played cards every evening, until midnight!
We only stayed at the conference for 4 days, returned home at 1am and continued our way at 9am next morning, going to Crikvenica, Croatia for our church retreat. We spent 3 days there and we had 150 people from Ljubljana, Radovljica and Kočevje church! We've never had that many people before but it was great! The weather was beautiful and it was really warm. We also had 5 baptisms in the sea, all young people. The theme of the retreat was "Does God still speak?" and Josh was the speaker. Great stuff! And God still does speak! :)
It was a pretty rough week for me because God was stirring up some things. It was phisically good but spiritually heavy. It was a good ending, though. God is faithful and mighty, and He never leaves us.
We're finishing our Good News Clubs and Youth Groups slowly and promoting English Camps big time. We're also preparing Camps. We'll be in the ZOO tomorrow, all day, promoting kids camps. It'll be so much fun! 8 of us will be dressed in fairytale characters - I'll be a ladybug. Hm. Is a ladybug in any of the fairytales? Hm...
I'll post pics soon! :)
