Southeastern Europe Retreat


We have just returned from the Southeastern Europe Retreat. It was held in Chaldiki, Greece, which is in the "first finger". It was a time a relaxation, training, and fellowship. This retreat only happens once a year, but we were fortunate to be able to attend when we have just arrived. While there, we were able to meet missionaries to Albania, Kosovo, Greece, Croatia, Bulgaria and more! It was great to be able to spend time with missionaries who have been on the field for many years. There were many stories of the work that God is doing all over this difficult part of the world. We were challenged by the teaching of Greg Mundis (the director over the Europe region) and Kevin Beery (Southeastern Europe's area director). We enjoyed getting to know all of them. For two of the sessions, Dustin and I had the privilege of leading worship. Coming back to our apartment in Skopje felt like we were coming home more than ever before. Our language lessons start this Friday!
