KRIŽ means "cross" in Slovene. And the letters stand for K- Kristus (Christ) R- Resnica (truth) I- Integriteta (integrity) Ž -Življene (life). Every year we have some amazing teachers come and our students get to live life with them for 2 weeks in the summer in an amazing location called Sveti Jost. They sit around tables and read scripture, learn bible study methods, ask honest questions, wrestle with the text and meet individually as well as corporately. Then during the school year once a month are follow up courses that follow the same pattern.
It's designed to be a 2 year course and so this year we celebrated our first graduation! Neja, Katka, Mateja, Mišo and Gašper made so many sacrifices over these three summers and two years in order to complete this program. Such a great example of the verse, "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches. But let him who boasts boast about this. That he knows and understands me." 
It was so moving to be a witness that evening. Josh reminded them of what a great work the Lord had done in the five of them. And the call on their lives for this country. Slovenia needs these young leaders who are looking to the Lord. Then we laid our hands on these students and prayed for them and praised the Lord for the work he's done and will continue to do through them.
Our pastor Zvonko made the trip up the mountain to share in the event and speak to this special group. I wish you could have been there to see him! So much passion and joy over these students and God's goodness to this country! His words were certainly the out pouring of the Holy Spirit's leading! Please pray for these students and the other like them who continue in the program. Pray for the word of the Lord to dwell richly in them because we know that out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks!
