We just finished a mission conference at Emmanuel Baptist in Harstville, SC. Pastor Gary Colboch and his wife Flora have been wonderfully blessed with a church family that shares their passion for missions. During the conference, we ourselves were challenged to draw closer to God then analyze our resources to see if we could do more for missions.
The end of the conference came too quickly. The church gave beyond our needs and met even most of our wants. It is always humbling to see people willing to give so much. Our passion for the lost of Croatia is renewed everytime a church gives toward our needs because we are held accountable for each investment. Each investment will result in eternal reward because the promise of God's Word.
Another reason this conference made such a lasting impression is the new friends we made. They want to come and visit us in Croatia. Lives were changed this last week in Harstville, SC; but God is not finished working within these individuals. When we return to Croatia in October we will begin preparing for their visit. They will see first hand how God is using their investment. When they return home it will be with renewed vigor as well.
