A lot has happened since our last entry...we've been to church and experienced a slovene worship service. Thankfully the preacher spoke in english so we understood that part. Our team shared in the worship by using mime put to the words of the song 'The wonder of the cross' which seemed to be received well. Monday we travelled to Porec in Croatia. Thankfully we seem to have left the rain in Slovenia behind!! The temperature is much warmer here too, though we're not complaining yet! Ourselves and the slovene team are staying with around 60 kids in a youth centre right by the beach. We have a packed schedule this week, getting up at 7.30am and joining the kids for breakfast outside at 8am. Then into very lively worship, memory verse, quiz and story, told by a very familiar looking Elisha complete with handmade beard. Beach time til lunch which is always a popular choice. After lunch its the English and craft slot in which our team is divided up between the two activities. We are responsible for teaching english, so we teach six groups of children who rotate between the two workshops. The craft that we were able to buy, thanks to the financial support of many back home, has been thoroughly enjoyed by the leaders and kids alike. First day of english class was good. We were teaching colours and getting to know the kids, and they were really enthusiastic which was encouraging for us.
The kids are really great, so loving and crying out for affection. Over half of them do not know Jesus as their saviour yet, so please keep praying that they will understand and receive Him.
Sorry for delay in update. Internet access is limited...but we'll try to keep in touch as much as possible.
Please keep praying for safety for all, unity in the team and God's love to be experienced.
Love and prayers
God Bless
Julie and Elise

We arrived home from holiday last night having had a great time. We were able to read your blog put couldn`t reply as the rest of the communication appeared in Norwegian and we couldn`t follow the instructions on how to leave a comment!!! We are thrilled you are getting on so well and praying for you all- we were in Porec on our honeymoon exactly 25 years ago. It is so amazing how God works, never did we think He would have us pray for a team from our church and have our son there so many years later-what a marvellous God we have.John,Joan and co
P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIEL for Friday
Hi Julie & Co
We're just back from Portugal ourselves and just now catching up on your blog and it is great to see that things have gone well. Trust the kid's camp is also encouraging and that you will see God do might things there.
Our time in Lisbon was amazing, fully cementing in our hearts that sense of calling from God that this is the city He wants us to live and serve him. He is a great and mighty God!!
