  Summer MLO Blog 3 What a scurry of activity that we have going on at H i S House with the soccer coaches spending devotional time and breakfast with us every morning before they start their busy day of camp and other activities they do with the campers. It gives me pleasure and brings back memories, because it reminds me of our teams when we are here doing camps and other community service activities in the city. I look forward to having our teams return in the near future.  H i S House is finally finished with the café, kitchen and new bathroom stage. Those additions are so key for supporting and accommodating large groups. The walk into the café used to be gravel but now has nice pavers that allows us to track in less dirt when entering the café and kitchen.  Pavers leading into HiS House cafe The grape vines on the front porch are in full bloom and many clusters of grapes are starting to appear.

  Summer MLO Blog 2 What a blessing it is to host the  Ambassador’s For Christ  mission team here at H i S House. There are 18 members of the ministry team and they are doing camp at a soccer club on the other side of the city of Sisak. Camp goes from 10:00 am - 9:00 pm, and they have over 100 children participating (ages 6-14.) The day starts with soccer camp, followed by lunch, some form of activity, then rest, English class, afternoon camp, then a form of gospel presentation.

  Summer MLO Blog 1 Thank you so much for your prayers. They are working and God is listening. We got to the airport with no problem and no traffic, got luggage checked in with the help of Sonjay! He was a God-send and helped us navigate the baggage check-in outside. We got in the line for security and I was struggling with juggling the carry-on & backpack in one hand and my cane in the other. Out of nowhere I here a voice asking if I needed a wheelchair. God sends Hector, who picks me up, places my luggage under my chair and takes me to the front of the line and through security.  Hector also checked me in to have a wheelchair all the way through to Croatia. Thank you Hector! Me, Hector and Robert Cissell We made it to and through Munich, praising God that we landed at Gate 21. Our plane to Croatia was at Gate 39 - a straight LONG WALK, but no security lines! In Croatia we had a long line at Customs.  I should have accepted the offer from the airport staff to give me wheelchair as

Several team members will be traveling to Bosnia and Serbia to visit the American Football clubs that we have supported and loved for these past 17 years. David will be meeting with the Croatian National Baseball 12U team and coaches, and will be supporting and helping a Danish Soccer team who will be sharing the gospel message through soccer camps and Christian events. We have the pleasure of housing the Danish Soc
