Carrying the Torch in Kosovo

Though we've only been away from Minnesota and on tour 10 days, we feel like we've come back home.  We flew into Istanbul August 21 and stayed one night before traveling overnight by bus through Bulgaria and Macedonia to Kosovo.  God got us through all the border crossings without incident, though Dustin had to juggle at 4am for the stern Macedonian officials to prove he could use his equipment.  They almost smiled.

We've had 6 events so far around Kosovo, unicycling, dancing and using fire poi to share the love of God!  Our team of 8 from Switzerland, Denmark, USA and Kosovo has been very unified and God has blended all our abilities well to serve Him.

We are very sensitive about how we are sharing the Message here.  We have had great, responsive, interested crowds though we have heard from them that it is a difficult message to hear.  Katie even had a chance to share with an Imam after an event.

Thanks for praying for seeds of truth to take root and crumble barriers.  Please also pray for sound equipment issues we've been having during the performances.

We continue to pray for you every time God brings you to mind. Sounds like you've had some messy (thank you birdie) moments, but God is able to use the messy and the funny!
Stand firm and remember to put on your armor!!!
Blessings,
Nena

Interesting...I'd like to hear more about why they find the "good news" difficult. ??
