I can't believe how fast time goes by - it's been almost 3 months since my last update!
May was a month of one day events and endings of Junior High groups + Good News Clubs. We finished those early this year so we could really focus on getting ready for the summer and all the camps!
We had our first camp at the end of June, and it was kids camp in Crikvenica, Croatia. We actually had 2 camps at the same time; English Camp and Gospel Camp! It was awesome and I think it was one of the best, if not the best, camps I've ever been a part of!
Right after that camp (literally, the next morning) I left for a Junior High Camp in Zgornje Gorje at Bled! We had 20 Junior Highers and it was a really good camp but also hard for me. I never really spent a week with teenagers before (except when I was one) and also, I was tired. The enemy didn't rest as well, as usual. BUT God was great, faithful and SO loving! Our Slovene team really connected and I'm grateful for each of them.
After that camp I was at home for 2 weeks, working at the kids playhouse where I babysit and play games with kids. Sad thing happened - my phone got stolen while I was running a birthday party for one of the kids. Life goes on and God provided another phone :)
We left for KRIŽ July 20. KRIŽ (cross) stands for K-kristus (Christ), R-resnica/rast (truth, growth), I-integriteta (integrity) and Ž-življenje (life). It's a 2-year program for Slovene Christians and this year we added a bit to it. There's another "program" inside KRIŽ and it's called Naveza which means "roped", on the rope. The picture of it is when 2 (or more) people are climbing, they're roped together. One of them is leading but if he falls, the person behind him needs to pick him up and vice versa.
So... I'm a Naveza leader which means I'm leading myself and a girl named Ana towards our goal but I'm not like a mentor. It's a discipleship program (we're learning how to be fishers of men and how to teach others to be fishers of men to teach other to be fishers of men...) but we're both sharing and learning.
I came home today and I'm getting ready for August. It'll be a crazy month. I'll go to 2 camps - cricket camp for kids (it'll be in the wilderness) and Performing Arts Camp.
The schedule is super busy but it's a huge privilege to be God's worker and seeing Him work in Slovenia in a MIGHTY way! He's raising up future leaders of our country and it's just incredible to see them grow in the Lord.
Please continue praying for all the camps and all the kids! We've never seen so much fruit than this summer! The walls of Slovenia are breaking and all we're doing is shouting and blowing the trumpets + believing in God; the rest is all Him.
