Praise for the Small Miracles
This week we are rejoicing for the opportunity to present the gospel with someone who actually listened. I was talking with a man and a friend. Sinesa <Sinesha> saw the tract in my pocket and asked to read it. The conversation gave me the opportunity to share my testimony. While neither men were ready to make a profession of faith both are now contemplating the Truth which they learned from the Word of God.
The small miracle may actually be HUGE. When so many reject the gospel, tracts, and our message; it is refreshing when someone is not only interested but listens intently.
Thank you Lord:
- For the faithful support from churches in America to pray for us and give sacrificially enabling us to be work in Croatia.
- For opening the door to share the gospel.
- For the encouragement needed to keep going in spite of the difficulties we face

Why our broken dryer was a blessing.
Our dryer quit working. It is now too cold to hang our clothes out on the line for them to dry. The good news is that it should be covered under warranty. The bad news is the company must come and get our dryer to repair it. They also have the right to keep it for up to 45 days. While it is a terrible inconvenience there is a tremendous blessing.
Just around the corner from our house is a laundry mat (which are not very common in Europe). The cost to wash and dry one load of clothes would be $25! I could have washed and dried 10 loads of laundry in the States for that! We thank the Lord that both our washer and dryer didn't go out at the same time.
While drying just one load of clothes I met the attendant, Alois, who knew a little English and was eager to practice his language skills. As it usually happens, Alois asked, "Why are you here?" So I shared with him that we have come to tell Cakovec about the love of Jesus and salvation through Him. Alois seemed to understand that religion is empty and that the activities of the church meant nothing without belief in Jesus and a personal relationship with Him. But, he was not ready to make a life changing decision today. However, a seed was planted in the heart of a man who might never have heard the gospel without those of you who support our ministry to proclaim the gospel in Croatia. Now we work to nourish the seed with faith that it will one day yield a harvest.
