HiS PRINT Ministries Updates

I spoke with David late last night and again today. Big praise! They got confimation the shipment left New York and is scheduled to be in Croatia July 1st. Continue to pray that it clears customs quickly. That could take up to ten days, so please pray it clears quick as it contains so many things need. Yesterday they had baseball practice with the Storks. After practice they measured the hole for the foundation of the stage they plan to build for Fields of Faith. They have it all marked off and hope to hire a backhoe to come dig it out so they don't have to do it themselves. Pray that there is a backhoe available so they don't have to do it by hand. The hole needs to be roughly 24ft. x 13ft. so a backhoe would be a huge praise! David talked with Neven at practice and he said he hadn't been reading the bible very much but wanted to learn how to study it better so they are going to discuss later how to do that. This morning David and Shannon were going to go buy...

From Debbie Moss.... David just called... very brief since it was pretty late there and he was going to bed.  He will call me back when he wakes up, just wanted me to know they got there safely. They had practice today with the Storks. The field "The Nest" is in fairly descent shape, but the city is not doing anything to help them out. There are lots of big weeds all around the outside of the field, which was not good. Pray they can get that cleaned up soon. Tomorrow the Storks play a game in Karlovic and afterwards they want to celebrate David's birthday. Hope to send more detailed update when he calls back. Debbie

I just got a short email from David. God is good! David, Shannon and Marde landed safely with no problems. There was a  great crowd at the airport to greet them when they arrived. They were headed to Janko's house to get some rest then of  to The Nest for baseball practice. He will call me later this evening with more details.  Debbie

Mission Team, I got up this morning and started my day with this devotional and wanted to share it with you all! I share this to encourage you and to thank you for your dedication to serving Christ is Croatia! Your willingness touches me to the core of my heart and to know that God has placed this team on this path together is such a blessing to me! He wants to use us in mighty ways, with us depending on His strength and His provision! Notice the words that were used in the last couple of sentences of the devotion! (I made them bold ) Seems only fitting that I share it with you all! It is indeed our vision that is WRITTEN IN INK, Our steps leaving HIS PRINT! “This is the day the Lord has made.” Ps 118:24 NKJV God determines the number of your days, but you determine how they are spent. The Psalmist said, “This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Yesterday is a cancelled check, tomorrow is a promissory note, and today is all you’ve got.  “Today ...

Hey Folks,  I woke up with a tremendous bad headache and got up and took something for it. I am waitng for it to take effect and then head back to lie down. I cannot believe it has only been 3 hours since I went to bed. We have a busy day ahead of us!   Everyone is doing great and getting along well. We have spent some time talking together and I have spent some time with each of the new people to find out why they have come and it has been a blessing to hear their responses. We went to have ice cream and everyone enjoyed that! The owner would not let me pay for any of it and it was awesome to see his face when he recognized us. God has truely blessed us with these people and have built some neat relationships. Saw some of the young baseball cadet players as well and they are excited that we are here. Many send their love and greetings. Neven, the captain of the baseball club is one proud pappa. His wife just gave birth to their first child a...

David called me on skype a little while ago. Said to give you an update. He was having lots of problems connecting with computer. It kept dropping the line. Hope this is not to wordy. Just trying to remember everything he told me in between all the disconnects.   They have had rain again today. Had to cancel practice and the basketball game they had planned between the Texans and the Croatians this evening. They were dissapointed because they would have been able to meet some new kids. Most of the kids showed up for practice even though it was raining so he took the opportunity to share with them how he got all the equipment he brought. Wanted them to realize people over here are working hard to raise money and that we don't just go out and buy things for them. He wanted them to know people here love them and pray for them daily. He told about how Ray Silva got together with his team and friends and raised enough money to buy a backstop or pitching net. Fo...

Thank you, Debbie. Dear Prayer Team: I am forwarding our latest update from David and Debbie. Praise God for what He is doing through our Croatia Missionaries. Continue to pray for the physical work that is taking place and the spiritual work that God is doing in the hearts of the people in Croatia, as well as in the lives of our team. Thank you for praying!! Your brother in Christ, Earl Earl,   Just got off skype with David. Here is everything he wanted to tell people about.   First of all, thanks for all your prayers!   Today they went to church in Moscenicia. It was an amazing service. They all send their greetings and love to all of you. There was another mission team there from Canada and they did an improv drama. He said it was a very neat skit. Then the pastor spoke from Acts and Galatians on Paul's missioinary journey and compared it to our team and what they were doing.  He challenged the congregation to go out and sprea...

Dear Prayer Team: Here is the latest update from Croatia.  Praise God for what He is doing and Thank You for praying. Earl Hi Earl! Here is another update from David.   Joe and Grant Page made it there safely today. When they got to Sisak, they had about 20 people come over to Janko's to meet them. They ended up singing praise and worship songs and Janko played the guitar. It was a great time of encourgement to all the youth that were there and you could see the joy in Janko's heart.   Tues. morning Joe and Zack will go back to airport in Zagreb to pick up the pitching maching. Pray that it made it and it clears customs and there are no problems getting it back to Sisak. David has practice at 10:00 with the Cadets and then at 5:00 practice with the Storks. Tues. evening David, Joe and Chris will have dinner at Coach Daniels home. Neven said Coach told him his heart is blessed and feels better now that David is here in Sisak and he is a tremendous frie...

Dear Prayer Team: Thank you for being faithful in praying for our Croatia missionaries!! I am forwarding the latest update from David via Debbie. May the Lord bless you all. Earl Earl,   Talked with David last night and these are the things he wanted to tell everyone.   He, Chris and Joe had dinner with Coach Daniel and his wife. Neven and Martin were there also. It was an awesome time for all and his wife out did herself on the meal. Coach wants to thank everyone for their prayers and financial support for the Storks. It touches his heart in such a way that he doesn't know how to express it. He has a vision for the new ball field and the Storks team. He wants a Christian coach to teach ball and share Christ year round with the Storks. With his job, he cannot do that, so he is looking for a David a house! lol! Please pray that they find the right person who can coach the storks and make an impact in their lives a...
