-Kornel and Tanja Crnkovic

Koprivnica, Croatia
Children: Andrea, Marko and Natanael
The Crnkovics have had an eventful summer. On July 1 Kornel’s dad finished his earthly life, 6 months after the homegoing of his wife. The next day, on their 30th wedding anniversary, the Crnkovics became grandparents for the first time. Their summer ministries began with a literature distribution camp on the island of Cres, where they reached about 10,000 homes. They also traveled to the small island of Susak, where no cars are allowed, for more tract distribution. Many were happy to receive the literature. Pray the seed sown will bring forth fruit. Another summer ministry was youth camp at the Adriatic Sea. No one was saved during the camp, but 2 young men accepted Christ the week after they returned home. In early August, 15 people from Northern Ireland came to serve with the Crnkovics for 10 days. They distributed invitations and held a kids’ club. The Crnkovics ask prayer for Andrea who graduated with her masters in music and is trying to find a teaching job in a music school. Marko is starting college this fall.
