Called to Share + A Little R & R Wednesdays - a linky party #25

First of all I want to say that the ministries we have been a part of are not our own.  They have been well established by the Johnny Leslie family and national pastor, Rajko Telebar.  The Scott Holcomb family and Brother Sam Ward also minister along with us. We currently work in two Baptist churches in northern Croatia: Stablo Zivota in Cakovec, and Pobjednici in Varazdin.   We have been assisting the in various ministries in the church such as Vacation Bible School, handing out Gospel invitations, and children’s church with the Roma gypsy population.  My husband and I also offered free English classes to our community which was a great success.  Our family has personally seen seven people accept Jesus as their personal Savior.  We praise the Lord for those souls.  It would have still been worth our efforts if only one person had been saved.

I can truly say that God has given me a love for Croatia and the people there.  It is amazing to be able to love someone who is not family or even the same nationality.  Sometimes people here are not very lovely or kind...that is just life.  However, because of God’s GREAT love for me and what Jesus did on the cross for the world…I choose to love them.  It is our desire to see Croatia turn their hearts toward God.  
There have been many lessons learned while living in Croatia: 1.       Learning the language and culture is a must to understand those you are ministering to.2.       People are watching us to see if we are living what we preach. How is my testimony?3.       Everyone smiles in the same language.  You never know how it will brighten someone’s day.4.       Not everyone will want to hear the Gospel, but we must be loving and persistent in planting and watering the seed.5.       Prayer is powerful!  Have you prayed for a missionary today…prayed for souls to be saved, missionaries to be encouraged, and their safety?
We really do covet your prayers.  If we only had financial support and not prayer support, we could not be effective in what we are doing.  Please pray with us as the Lord is directing our family to the coastal city of Zadar to begin a work there.

I am a wife to Kevin for the last 14 years, homeschool mom to three adorable redheads, and daughter of the King of Kings. My hobbies include cooking, creating, and attempting to sew and crochet. I accepted the Lord as my Savior as a young girl and was baptized.  After attending Atlantic Baptist Bible College in Chester, Virginia, the Lord impressed upon my heart to fully surrender everything to Him. I surrendered my plans for my life and opened my heart to whatever He wanted.  This led us to where we are today.  Our church, Buford Road Baptist, in Richmond, VA sent us out to reach Croatia with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and we are also aided by the Baptist Bible Fellowship International.  Today you will find me joyfully serving beside my husband in a little town called Cakovec with the Baptist church.  You can follow me at my blog Freckles in Croatia and at our mission blog Mercy and Grace for Croatia and on Facebook.
