Montenegro Missions Trip

Hello dear family and friends,

Jamie and I, along with our youngest sons, have made an important decision together. An opportunity to travel to Montenegro with several people from our church seemed out of reach. But as we talked together, all four of us agreed this trip is for us. We long for our faith to grow and to be challenged. We will serve missionaries, Stan and Vicki Surbatovich, in the city of Niksic. Our small team of 8 will reach into the community and the local university looking for ways to serve. The country of Montenegro, including Niksic, has very few people who understand the gospel and what Christ has done for them. Our loving service will hopefully give us opportunities to share God's message of hope in Christ. Our week will end with a marriage seminar at Stan's small church. Some of us will teach and others will do children's ministry. We are excited, and maybe a little nervous (Mom is anyway), about this adventure. Many details must be ordered as we approach John's high school graduation and a summer already brimming with activity. As a family, from all of us, we greatly appreciate any help you can give as we try to reach our $10,000 goal.
