Montenegro — Get Away from Facebook

May 24, 2010

Here’s news from Christina Melton, serving in Podgorica, Montenegro —

May has been a bizarre month weather-wise in Podgorica. Possibly due to volcanic ash or global warming or who knows what, we have received bucket-loads of rain over the last few weeks.

Fortunately, the sun decided to show up for our two major May holidays, May 1 and May 21 (independence day).

Our weekly teenage meetings are officially suspended for summer, partially in order to prepare for camp in July and also to give us time to make ready our programming for next semester.

However, our national holidays have given us opportunities just to spend good quality time with our teens. Several of our teenagers from Podgorica and the teens in Niksic came for the outdoor picnics on both holidays, where they were also able to fellowship with the adults in the church.

This picture above was taken on one of the beaches on Skadar Lake on our independence day holiday.

Our teenage camp will take place July 19-25, and we request that you would pray for that event as you feel led. Our teens will be away from TV, facebook, and other distractions, and it is the most important opportunity for us to talk about God with them.
