NM-Bosnia: from Chris
Hello All !
Just a note to say we're wrapping up our
time in Sarajevo. We take the 1230 midday bus from Sarajevo to
Mostar tomorrow (Monday). It is a 2.5 - 3 hour trip. We will tour
Mostar Monday evening, visit the Container Village (with Kosovar
refugees and gypsy kids) on Tuesday, check out their "Drop-in
Center" on Monday/Tuesday nights (a hang-out place for the
neighborhood with games, etc). On Wednesday morning, we will take
the 9am bus from Mostar to Jajce. We will arrive around noon. We
will stay in Jajce for a few days before leaving Saturday morning
(28 July) at 6am on a bus going to Split. We will stay in Split
until departing on a 7am Tuesday morning flight to the States. We
arrive Tuesday night, July 31st in Phoenix.
The email mailing list is not distributing
to everybody on the list for some reason. So I am also posting the
team email letters & photo collages on the NM website:
www.neighborhoodministries.org
for people to check out there.
We had a good debriefing a couple hours ago
with the local staff. Pray for our team as we prepare to depart
Sarajevo; the girls have made many friends, and saying goodbye will
be hard. Pray for our travel & new experiences. We will not be
in Mostar as long as we had thought because they have enough summer
help (we found this out yesterday, after having heard otherwise). On
the other hand, this gives us more time in Jajce (which we were not
sure we'd even get to). Our contact in Jajce is Vanja Bule, and I am
very much looking forward to the extra time our team will have with
her & the ministry there.
Thanks so much for your prayers, emails, and
internet phone messages. You are a great encouragement to all of us!
Blessings from Bosnia,
Chris Somers
