July 2020 Update

July brings both good news and bad news.

First, the bad news. We've had to cancel our weekly Let's Keep Talking Bible study due to COVID. All the members of our group would be considered higher risk or had close family members who were high risk if they did catch the virus. It wasn't a large gathering, but we decided together that it would be best to cancel our meetings for now.

Thankfully, the good news far outweighs the bad news.

We've still been having weekly events/meetings with our teens that can attend. Recently, we went on a hiking trip to the top of the mountain on the North side of the city. We made it all the way to the top and stopped for lunch at a cafe there before heading back down.

The other meetings have been at a house in a small village to the West of the city. We meet there to eat, hang out, worship, and study the Bible together.

One of the other youth leaders is also a music teacher, so recently we've had fun learning to play a song together as well.

More good news is that the Champs Camp video is completed and should be releasing soon! In case you missed it, we decided to make a video to send to all the Champs Camp kids since camp was cancelled this year. The video has a Bible story, a game, a craft, sketches/songs, and a few small animations. It's all in the Croatian language, but we'll make sure you can take a look at it if you want when it's ready.

Here's a couple sneak-peak screenshots:

Family camp has not been cancelled, so we're looking forward to that in August. In the meantime, we'll be meeting with the teens as well as other contacts from the online/digital media ministry.

Thanks for keeping us in your prayers!
