We have just arrived in Osijek, Croatia after a five hour train ride from Budapest, Hungary. Its been a long day cause we started very early, but God has been so good!
So October is our ATL (Ask the Lord) month. We go, we pioneer, we listen, we obey. We got off t
he train and had no idea where we were going to stay tonight or what kind of ministry we’re going to do while we’re here. We felt like we needed to pray so we did. Several of our teammates went to go find an internet cafe so we could see if any of our possible contacts had emailed us back or if there were any hostels close by.

45 minutes or so later Tamica comes running up to us (we had stayed at the train station to watch everyone’s bags) and tells us some great news. They found an internet cafe and they guy who owns it speaks English AND he’s a Christian! What are the odds that the first person they meet out in Croatia is a Christian and speaks English? I know I repeated myself, but seriously, this is incredible! Danielle and I had just been discussing how its seems like not many people here speak English. His name is Davor and he said that there is a local church nearby that has a youth group meeting tonight. He’s getting someone to come meet us here at 6:30pm and they’ll take us to the church (we’ve been told everyo
ne there speaks English too!). Along the way apparently there is a green field that we could camp out in as well! We have a place to sleep! So he said we could bring all of our bags to his cafe and use the internet for free while we wait for his friend to come bring us to church.

How amazing is God?! He has immediately provided for us as soon as we got here! So since I have free internet, graciously provided by our new friend Davor, I thought I’d let you all know. This just makes me feel even more confident about the fact that we’re here and its exactly where we need to be. God is clearly making a way! I love how he goes before us! Every step is laid out perfectly. He has taken care of us, will continue to take care of us and we can trust him. I love it when he lets us know that we are his.
We’ll see what the rest of the day and the rest of the month brings! Now I get to go make some new Croatian friends! YES!

P.S. We’ve emailed several contacts here in Croatia but have no leads. So please be in prayer for our team! Pray that we would hear God clearly and obey his voice as we learn to trust him. Also pray that God would bring the right people into our path for future partnerships with AIM and The World Race!
