yip, its been a while since ive written. im in Split, a city on the cost of Croatia.
Clara ,Dude and i got a plane from Cairo to Athens (at an awquard hour)we slept
a few hours at the air port after ariving in Greece. we then got a train to Patra,
the country side is beutifull. we camped out at a beach called Rio, the camping
ground was mutch to close to an open air disco for me likings so i pitched me tent
on the other end of the beach where things were quieter.
Most the Greek people i tryed to meet where like forts, they just plain ignor me
and the people at the shops etc aint mutch friendly iether, but there were a few
that made a difference ,(you know who you are, and to you i say thanks )
Me thinks its justa cultural thing,and that the greeks are ok if you can get into
the ‘fort’.
We then got a ferry boat from Patra to Ancorna (Italy), man this boat was like a
floating five star hotel, Dude chated with the chefs ,i drew some pictures ,Clara
must have been praying, …we got blessed with bowls of ice cream, and then a
‘take away lunch’ of roast chicken, lasanja & chips, which we enjoyed in Italy
under a shelter from the rain at the dock train station.
The rain pritty mutch lasted as long as the chicken so we got to get groserys and
the next ferry to Split ,Dude headed on to Switzerland.
this ferry was a blast to the past, an older ship and smaller,but me enjoyed it mutch.
On ariving in Split ,Clara and i met Vjekoslav, dynamic youth minister in Split,
im staying with him till the rest of the group arive on the 16th to go to Bosnia.
Im glad that ive been able to assist the church by doing paintings for there childrens
ministry and youth camps.as well as share me testimony Sunday evening with the
church.
The church is verry young, (first generation Christians) the majority being ex drug
addicts, i would not have guesed it unless i was told…they are all living examples of
Gods amazing grace.
There is mutch prayer needed for the young people of Croatia, please pray that they
be drawn to the Father and Jesus.
Love you all.
