more pics from Vukovar

Last evening we noted that Princess Lea had pushed aside her yogurt and gone to sleep at the table...

The team watched Harrison's Flowers yesterday afternoon... a hard, hard story... not recommended for casual viewing.

Today the team saw more of the town... here is a shot David took earlier today... a sight that is slowly becoming less and less the norm here...

here is a pic of me (again by David) on Keri and Laci's porch catching up on email...

Princess Lea of Vukovar

This is Laci and Keri's daughter, she is certainly the focus of much attention, can you tell why?

We're in Croatia and man its getting HOT!!

Forecast is for 39 celcius which I think is 102 degrees F. So we will be taking it easy tomorrow.

We are doing well, had a great lunch...

Friday night on the riverside

We had a great time on the riverside singing and sharing!

Thursday - Friday of week two

Last night we had a great time at worshipping the Lord and hearing from the Bible. Then we went for a prayer walk around the center of the city. This morning we had a great last day of school here is out annual camp picture on the front steps of the high school we have worked in...

tonight we will meet up with a bunch of these kids, share with them a bit of why we come to serve the Lord...

Tomorrow we head out on our third and final leg. At 0821 we will depart from Szaged train station for Subotica, Serbia and take a look around the city center and have lunch. At 2pm-ish we will catch a train to Sombor, Serbia where we will be met and driven by car to Vukovar, Croatia where we will serve the Agape church in Vukovar in word and song. Then Monday through Thursday we will teach an English camp for the church as an outreach and then on Friday morning next week we will head back to Hungary for debriefing and then the team leaves Hungary.

IMPORTANT NOTICE to families. The availability of internet may be quite limited for the next six days. If you do not hear from your student until next Friday afternoon, please DO NOT be alarmed. I hope to post here every couple of days, but who knows...

until next time... Grace from Peace

posted about concentration camp...

over on Kingdom Travelin'

a busy 24 hours

since I last posted the team has been REALLY busy... taking care of some team unity business, dining together, then heading across the river to what could be central park of Szeged to meet kids for softball, Laura was catcher for her team...










then back across the Tisza river for ice cream and then to the river side for singing... when Arden led us in Amazing Grace I told the kids about the writer of the hymn and the change God did in him. It's not what we do to change, its our willingness to let God change us... we are seeking opportunities to plant seeds...



then at 10pm, the old man went to catch his bus... the late night was met by an early morning session with the guys on Galatians at the best breakfast place in Syeged... Z Nagy cake and pastry shop... (yes Laci, I have been there EVEY morning since they opened on Tuesday!!!!!!)



Then to school for another day of teaching English lessons and connecting with kids. This afternoon everyone should be having a rest before we attend Arden's University Bible Study this evening...


Tomorrow should be a rather full day, with teaching, playing sports, gathering downtown with kids for ice cream and singing... may that time be a time of further seed planting!!!!! May the Lord of the harvest be glorified.

The weather is hot and a bit more humid than usual... we keep hearing about this cold front from western Europe that is supposed to cool things down, but not yet... the forecast is for cooler weather on Saturday! That will be great as we are headed for Croatia via Serbia on a couple of slow moving trains... more about that later...
