The Seventh Year

This past week we celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. What a blessing to look back and see how the Lord has led us and worked between us!

We do find it interesting that 7 years ago we were praying and planning to leave Hungary (where we met and were serving in ministry together at Calvary Chapel Bible College Europe) to serve on the mission field of Dejan's hometown and at his church in Subotica, Serbia. We ended up going in October of that year.

Our hearts were always for evangelism, discipleship and church-planting. We were able to do some of that in Serbia for 2 hard but fruitful years. We have been here in the States these last 4 years for many reasons which are known to us, a couple of which were 1) for the Lord to re-direct us to Canada for church-planting and 2) to thoroughly connect us to our home and sending church, where we have been so blessed to worship, fellowship and serve.

Now, 7 years later, we are praying and planning to depart yet again for the mission field, and it will probably be in late September or early October. Interesting, isn't it? How God works in cycles and when He leads new beginnings. We are so blessed to be part of His plan together.

All in good time

So...
Dejan's computer arrived the last day of May, and it's up and running, ready to begin it's life as an instrument for God's glory starting Monday! If you like tracking the translation progress, just watch the sidebar for updates.

And...
We are on the home stretch regarding our move up north! God's providence in our circumstances became unmistakably obvious recently. We will be spending the summer right here in Pocatello with our home church, hopefully raising the remaining 11% of our support, and then 6 weeks or so after our new little blessing arrives and we have the paperwork, Lord willing, we'll be off and going!

If you pray with us...thank you!

We are in awe at how God moves in our lives and it's such an amazing grace He showers us with!

Keeping you posted, Dejan and Julie <><
