English Camp 2014

We've been in full preparation and organization of English Camps!! :)

We are doing 2 camps this summer: Junior High and High School English Camp. Last year we only did a Junior High camp and had an amazing response; 70 kids signed up and made our camp the biggest camp in the entire Slovenia! This year we only have 60 spots available for them, and we're doing a similar camp than last year, with a whole lot of adventurous things (rafting, paintball, climbing…).

We were praying about different options for our High School camp and even took a step of faith in one direction, but God closed the door and opened another one. We're going to Bovec (my 2nd favorite place in Slovenia!) where we'll do camping in tents, rafting, canyoning, hiking, mountain bike riding, paintball… This camp will be smaller, there will only be around 30 of us all together. We only have 6 High Schoolers coming to our weekly youth group now and we're praying that more will start coming next school year. We are hoping this camp will connect us, that we will feel like a big family and really make great, long-lasting friendships.

We started advertising our Junior High camp last week and have so far told about it to 250+ Junior Highers. It's amazing to see God's hand upon all of this because doors of all Elementary schools in Kocevje are completely open for us to come and share about camp for 5~20min per class (that's not normal for Slovenia!!!).
We will start advertising our High School camp in 2 weeks.

Please be praying with us that youth will sign up, that God will open their hearts and give them a desire to come. So far we have 5 kids signed up for Junior High camp.

Church retreat in Croatia

We have a church retreat in Crikvenica, Croatia every Spring. 3 churches come together to worship, fellowship and hear from God. Crikvenica is on the coast, and the hotel we stay at is right at the beach. It's gorgeous!

Church in Slovenia is growing and the number of people at the retreat got really high this year; there were 220 of us! It was so encouraging to see people from Ljubljana and Radovljica that I don't see often, it was great to hang out with the College Group and play board games, it was great to just walk, eat ice cream and enjoy the view of the Mediterranean sea.

We took some youth from Kocevje with us and I loved spending more time with them, seeing them enjoy worship and sermons (our theme was Reformation of heart) and make new friends.

With Domen 

2 of my friends got baptized there too, it was great! I got baptized in Crikvenica 4 years ago so that's a special place for me.

God sure knows how to bless us :)
