Sometimes I wonder if we will ever get through to some of the people we work with here in Croatia. It seems like there is a hard shell around their minds and the Catholic church has fortified it so no other thoughts of God and eternity can enter than the ones they planted there.
We work with children a lot, with the thinking that it's easier to get them when they're young then to reach them later in life. Week after week we teach a different lesson but with the same theme; Jesus Saves. It's amazing that every week it seems when they are asked how they can get to heaven they all answer the same; Be Good. How many times can you tell them that it's by faith through Christ plus nothing and minus nothing??? I mean really what is the secret to reaching these souls for Christ. Where will they be if we aren't able to break through the indoctrination and deprogram them? 
I don't know how many of "our" kids will truly be reached, made to see the Light. I don't know but I do that God wants them all in Heaven with Him. We've got to get busy so we'll have something to give Him when He comes. What a shame if we arrive at His throne empty handed!
Our friend Danijel took these photos in the Gypsy village where I run my little van route every week.
