Calvary Chapel European Pastors & Leaders Conference (held at the CC "Castle" in Milstatt, Austria)

This year was a really great time for us as a family.
We met with many of our CC family and made new friends we hadnt met before.
The Youth leaders (a young couple serving at CC Costa Mesa - who came to minister to the youth last year, and have gotten to know both Elli and James), asked Elli to teach Bible study one night, in which the Lord lead her to teach on:   "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity."  1 Timothy 4:12
(we heard good reports back; proud mom and dad moment)

We enjoyed teaching, worship, time of encouragement in fellowship, and several doors were open for us to minister to others who serve in other countries.

Thankful for this opportunity and new memories made.
