One Month, Four Countries (Poland, Italy, Croatia and Austria)
This month my team is blessed to be able to minister in four countries, Poland, Italy, Croatia and Austria. We have had the opportunity to be involved in several different types of ministries. This month has opened my eyes to the fact there are different ways to minister to others, serve GOD and share the lifechanging message of salvation.
I have been blessed to help promote a CHRISTian hip hop concert in Poland, assist with teaching English in Poland, enjoying tiramisu, pasta, gelato and crepes in Venice, Italy. We are in Croatia working in a cafe owned by missionaries. We make coffee based drinks (caramel macchiato, caffe late, etc) and bake brownies and chocolate chip cookies (hmm). The cafe allows us the chance to share how GOD has transformed our lives with customers and locals.
This month reminds me sometimes GOD is calling us to think outside the box, whether that is enjoying the beauty of his creation by walking with a friend in the park during fall and admiring the beautiful colors of the leaves, sharing the Gospel message through a rap song or how GOD transforms over a cup of coffee and freshly baked chocolate chip cookie.
Below are pictures of this fabulous month

It costs 3 kunas (about 75 cents) and they give you a receipt after you pay
