HiS PRINT Ministries Updates

  Summer MiLO Relationships Beginning and Others Deepening HiS Print team surrounding our missionary friends from Ukraine One of the neatest aspects of relationships is the ever-changing needs associated with them. When there is a need for a listening ear, that’s what you do. When there is a need for advice that is what you provide. When encouragement is needed, then you open your arms, heart and home and be there to help, listen, suggest or simply love them. Saha and Marina Sasha and his bride Marina, their three children and both grandmothers came to HiS House from the Ukraine where they are from and live. They needed a time away from the nerve shattering tension of the war and a chance to be a family. Sasha had reached out to me before I left for Croatia and asked if they could come and stay at HiS House for a few days before they headed to the sandy beaches of Northern Italy.  Debbie and I with Sasha and Marina. We have been friends for over a decade and they are dedicated...

  Downtown River Promenade Park in Sisak Croatia at night. This summer was our 20th year of being called to Croatia, some years coming up to three times, while most years just included our summer MiLO from middle of June to middle of July. We wanted to make it a special celebration, so on July 4th, while those of you here in the States celebrated America’s 250th birthday as a Nation, we were making the most of celebrating our 20th year by creating a very special Texas Carnival on the downtown river promenade in Sisak Croatia.  Not Everything is bigger in Texas, as this pizza box proves our point While in Croatia these past 20 years we have asked God to use us where He sees fit and He has never disappointed us in providing open doors to do just that. From blessing delivery drivers that deliver pizzas bigger than anything I’ve ever seen in Texas, through a smile and providing them with a healthy tip for bringing us lunch or supper. Pizza is a large part of our diet while we are ...

Well, the third week of mission here in Sisak has come and gone. With the whole team here we have been able to accomplish and share His love in multiple places and to many many people. Two of our Football Coaches, Mike Norman and Brandon Hoybach, headed to Split Croatia and then on to Bosnia to spend time with several football teams and players we have developed relationships with over the years.   Flag football team in Split. Discipling and encouraging a fellow believer. Dino has been a key part of HiS Print for many years.  Although the coaches were not able to spend a great amount of time with more team members they were able to meet some new young talent and work with them one night. The key time was with Dino and encouraging him in his walk with the Lord and walking in full-time sports ministry. He lives in Split and was part of the baseball camp we had in Sisak, when he and Pastor Roni brought kids from Gracac. We have been asked by them to host a camp in Split in t...

God has put together a stellar team of faithful followers that He called to be a part of this year’s team. I shared with them an acronym to help us remember T ogetherness E levated A bove M e!  What a blessing it is to witness these past 20 years the teams God calls together to leave HiS Print with all those we meet, including many times meeting team members on the mission field for the very first time. Another blessing God has created is that every year we many different churches represented, with only one goal in mind and that is to elevate Christ always! This year's team has 11 members from the USA from 7 churches, 2 team members from Croatia from two churches and 2 members from Ukraine from one church; all representing Jesus as our savior.  Devos this year started indoors because of the heat, but once the weather turned to the low 70’s in the morning, we were out on the porch. One of the most memorable and touching moments we have every year, every morning is our team devo...
