Project Updates + Travels

A quick look back at October and ahead to November. Hopefully, it will encourage you to see how we are a blessing to many.

We were able to donate €2,000 to Centar Duga, the Teen Challenge's drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Serbia. It will be used to purchase ten new piglets and whatever else is needed for the farm run by the men in the program. Thank you so much for your donations.

The proceeds from our shops Twinkeltje and the Schor in October, were a record! We were able to donate €3,000 to the work of Alabaster Jar among prostitutes in Berlin.

On the website of Samaritan's Purse in Germany, you can read more about the outreach to these women and girls who are often victims of human tr*fficking. Just like last year, Hope packages will be distributed again in December, a little light in the darkness.

This coming weekend, we (Jan and Marja) will be in Slovenija for the celebration of 20 years of Teen Challenge. There will be an official gathering on Friday, November 7th. We hope to see many familiar faces there and celebrate God's faithfulness and goodness together. On Saturday, we will speak at the church in Koper. Of course, we have an anniversary gift for them.

Next week, we will also prepare to attend the European Teen Challenge fall leadership's conference, which will be held in Cluj, Romania, this year. We look forward to meeting many leaders from the various centers in Europe. A visit to the rehab center is also on the agenda.

Would you please join us in praying for safe travels?

This Friday evening, there's another late-night shopping event and pop-up café at Atelier de Schor from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Come visit us! The shop  looks fantastic!

In November, the proceeds will be kept for the prison work in Albania.
