Well, my wife tells me that we have had a lot of people viewing my blog lately. Guess I underestimated the amount of interest in our ministry here in Croatia. So, now I must be more regular at posting what God is doing through our lives and ministry.
I would like to devote this post to Praise. Today I begin preparing for our first furlough and have been reflecting over the past year and a half. While we were presenting our burden for Croatia I never imagined how far our ministry would reach. I have had the opportunity to share gospel tracts in Budapest, Hungary. I have preached the gospel in Cakovec and Varazdin, Croatia as well as in Graz, Austria. We have interacted with people from Finland, Kosovo, Mexico, Romania, Serbia, and Slovenia. Much of our opportunities have been because of help from other missionaries like: Curt Brown, Scott Holcomb, Johnny Leslie, and Sam Ward. A coordination of effort that God alone could orchestrate.
In addition to these wonderful praises we have had churches to respond to a financial need to help us survive the winter. God has proven that we have a faithful sending church and Pastor in Dr Tony Kohout Jr and Buford Road Baptist Church. He has also shown how He can provide for our needs in His perfect timing. In a time of economic crisis we had lost $200 of monthly support but just this month we have gained $200 in new support.
So what does this mean? God has a plan for the Brown family and it is not finished but only beginning. And you reading this blog means that you are a part of what God is doing. Thank you sincerely for your interest in the work here, your prayer support, and your financial sacrifice (if God should lead). "I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works." Psalm 9:1
