Preparing 4 Split Croatia 10 day Outreach; April 17-26






Departing soon:
We are getting ready to depart to Split Croatia this Friday (April 17th - 27th).

The Team:
This team consists of 10 people from diverse backgrounds; I am very stoked on this!
  • Ági and Simona are from Budapest Hungary
  • Lilla is from Vajta Hungary
  • Danjiella from Bosnia; raised in Austria... she speaks lots of languages!
  • Claudia from Romania
  • Brooke (Temecula) & Rachael (S.D.) are both from Cali
  • Danni from Serbia
  • Joe (an older gentleman) from Florida
Croatia...
is one of 7 counties that made up the former Yugoslovia; ie- Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Slovenia, Kosovo, Montenegro & Macedonia. Croatia has been an independent country since 1991; wickopedia it if you have time and are interested on more detail!

Split is a popular vacation town for many European travelers; i've been told that there are many english speakers there :)

Tim and Grace have planted a church in split and will be hosting our team. We will be boarding in the coffee shop that they run.

Please pray:
  • For team unity, maturity, humility, supernatural love (toward eachother and those we encounter); ie- overflowing fruit of the Spirit, etc (Gal 5:22-23).
  • Spirit lead worshipful, service, prayer, traveling, etc.
  • For fruitfulness, sensitivity to His leading, divine opportunities to serve/speak.
  • For the miracle of Him using flawed/imperfect humans to carry out His eternal purposes.
ps- the statue above is of Diocletian who had/has a palace in Split; he lead one of the most intense persecutions upon the church in history.

Are Tim and Grace still in Split? Do you have current contact info for them? Or, could you have them contact me? I am an evangelical Christian living in Europe for the next 5 months and just took a trip to Split and plan future trips there also. I have heard from others about the work Tim and Grace have done in Croatia and would really like to talk with them and meet them. If you're not comfortable giving me their info, please, pass this on to them if you can and ask them to email me at: globalraymond@gmail.com
Thanks!
