On June 15, 2007, the
McCollum family arrived in Zagreb, Croatia. Croatia is a
country with a long history of calling itself Christian but with few who
actually know Christ as their savior. The McCollum family believes God has
called them to teach the people of Croatia what it truly means to be followers of
Christ.
Once they finish formal
language school, they will serve on a church planting team with other
missionaries and Croats. Church planting, or starting churches, is a core aspect
of SEND International ministries:
Starting churches where there are none and
helping them where there are by
Evangelizing the unreached,
Nurturing disciples, and
Developing leaders from among the national
people.
On their journey to
Croatia, one elderly pastor shared
his story of a life well lived for the glory of God. This has become a growing
passion for the family as they begin serving in God's work in
Croatia.
After years of
preparation, the McCollum family is glad to be where God has called them.
Although right now their relationships are limited by language, they look
forward to the day when they can communicate clearly with Croats and actively
engage in ministry.
