This trip to Bosnia was short but very targeted and effective. We did so many more things than we shared in the blog. We had many conversations with leaders in Bosnia. We were able to encourage several people. There were a couple of people that were experiencing some real challenges in their lives. I can’t share more but it seemed like we were in the right place at the right time to be friends to some people that really needed it. We all felt the effects of jetlag much more than usual. We all needed a couple of days of downtime to recover. We think we will return in October. We hope to stay longer this time though.

We are so excited as we read your blogs. My wife and I are going to be a part of Health care providers team through AG world missions leaving for Bosnia on June 4th, our 27th wedding anniversary. My wife will be a nurse educator and I will be used as a family counselor, but not sure of any specific instructions at this point. It helped to read your stories and it was really inspiring. If you have any feedback at all that would help us it would be much appreciated.
God Bless,

Jeff,
So glad to hear it. We’ve come to love the people of Bosnia. They’ve been through so much and yet they are resilient, generous and precious. We’d be glad to answer any specific questions you may have. Richest blessings on your journey ahead…

Thank you so much for responding. I am going as a family counselor and my wife as a nurse educator. We haven’t been given any specifics, but if you have any suggestions or can give us an idea of issues we might be asked to deal with. We are trying to read and research as much as we can.
Again, thanks so much for what you do.

any issues regarding counseling that we might face, ex., ptsd, marrital issues, etc. and just any details such as appropriate dress, etc.
Thanks!!
