Creation of new sub-culture

I have decided in addition to the ministry in Croatia that I am currently involved in, I devote many minutes (hours if I could) to my favorite website www.stuffonmycat.com

I don't want to spoil it for you too much. I want you to experience it on your own. I think you will understand.

An idea has been suggested to me by John, my roommate in Rijeka, to start a new website called www.stuffonastraycat.com We would include pictures of stuff on the random stray cats that hangout near our awesome pimp my ride europe nominee car (I'll explain later). I would like to open it up to additions from other people. I am a little worried about liability for me. Stray cats might attack if provoked too much. They might not like being put in costumes or have large amounts of objects placed on them. We'll see...

My computer is broken, so I am borrowing John's and cannot add pictures right now, so I hope you can endure for a while until I get mine fixed.

Excursion to Zagreb...

We made it to and back from Zagreb (the capital of Croatia) from some country preparation with the four crusade staff teams in Croatia and Bosnia. It was a great week to see the vision for these two countries and get excited about the ministry here. Most of the time was spent in meetings, but we did see some of the city on the last day.


*This is a huge statue in the square of King Jelaciciv on a enormous horse. Aparently the statue represents some past battle or hatred of Serbia. I guess it's good to fuel rage with huge statues.



*Below is a picture of looking down the street away from the square. It is one of the main areas that annoying tourists hungout at and took pictures...

*The picture below is the actual Zagreb square. It's basically just a large open walking area with lots of shops and connections to more walking streets.

The road is starting...


So, my team and I have arrived in Rijeka, Croatia finally. After a summer of meeting with people and raising support, it is great to finally be here and start this new adventure in my life. Rijeka is what is imagined. It has the feel of a typical European city; if you know what that is. This week and next are a preparation time for the next ten months. I am getting excited about what is to come. We have been hanging out with a few of the students that the previous teams met. They have been awesome in the ways that they want to serve us and love hanging out with us. I'm really looking forward to actually getting going with the ministry here.

Pray that God will show us just where he wants us to focus on this year with the students.
