Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted among the earth."
Wow. That's what I (Michelle) have to say to the Campus Crusade conference we went to a few weeks ago. There were about 20 Eastern European nations and Russia that were represented in the over-1000 Campus Crusade staff at this conference. I was blown away to be able to worship with them and learn more about the ministries in their countries. Pray for this area of the world! God is doing amazing things! Twenty years ago the Iron Curtain fell and slowly these countries realized what had been kept from them: God. They weren't allowed to to talk about God. Many had never heard of Jesus. Anyone who was openly Christian were given menial jobs and not treated well (I know this is an understatement!) Again, wow. Freedom in Christ has a different meaning for them since they've known what it's like to not have freedom. I say this as an American who has always known freedom, especially of religion.
There were several times when we sung, that it was in one of the languages represented. It was beautiful to hear! I can only imagine this is what heaven will be like.
And like us, we didn't take many pictures. But we did take a few, so here are a few. The conference was in Portoroz, Slovenia, right on the Adriatic Sea. We saw a lot of nice sunsets!
This beautiful conference center hosted over 1000 missionaries!
This was a nightly view from our room.

you posted about Slovenia before me :) I was sick all week and now I am up nervous about our trip. Eli and Jasper are both coughing like crazy here and it sounds like a symphony.. ugh
I heard it was a wonderful time by many! And beautiful location, too! What a wonderful thing to be able to get together with believers in this part of the world and worship the same God in different languages. Gives me goosebumps and makes me excited to think of heaven!
