2006-01-14T15:12:00.000-08:00

well its finnaly starting to sink in
i have one more day left to live in freedom before School starts up again. It will be good to see friends again. Apart from spending time in Cakovec the whole Holiday has been spent behind the keyboard or the Xbox controller. I feel pretty bad that i haven done much this Break. I did make a website and experiment with Macromedia Flash which has been cool. So i hope that with school starting up that ill be able to start spending more time with friends instead of in front of my Monitor and that ill be able to get caught up on the schoolwork that i hadnt finished last year
Well until next time hope then ill have somethin more interestin to tell u

Home is where the heart is (and the liver)

2005-07-10T13:54:00.000-07:00

Right now is a hard time for us. We are house sitting for some friends since we have no where to stay. We have looking at about ten houses and one of them looks really cool but prices in Croatia are really expensive so we have not been able to find a house thats cheap and is big enough for me and my family to live in. I would just like to ask you to pray for us now. God knows which house he wants us in but it can be very streesful being patient and choosing the right one. Please pray that God would make it clear to us which house he wants us to live in. Also pray that God will give me strength while im adjusting to different cultures and making friends.
Thank you

Croatia

2005-06-11T08:02:00.000-07:00

well this is it
we leave for Croatia on the 14th.
this is going to be one of the most excititing most scary and coolest thing ive ever done. Coming to america was really hard at first but then i met some friends and i started going to an awesome youth group called rush Croatia will probably be harder because its a totaly different language and i have no idea whats where, what croatians are into and how to be cool. (kidding)
Just yesterday i got home from an awesome camp that rush put together at Forest home I had an incredible time there from getting to know more people to really getting to know God. I had the most spiritual moment of my life here at this camp. We also got to race some crazy gocarts. IT was just an awesome time that really got me pumped for doing Gods work in Croatia. So its three more days until where out of here. Its sad that im leaving all my new friends and all the easyness of drive through everything and people whos smile at you at the grtocery counter and say "Have a nice day good customer!" over and over and "Welocme to walmart good customer" its weird the things you miss when you leave from someplace. Its going to be hard moivng to Croatia so please keep me in your prayers.

Hi Everyone
Our time in Croatia has been so great. It was so good to see old friends, meet new people, experience different cultures and find out where i might spend the next four years of my life. It has been so good to be with my parents and going through the whole thing with them.

Hey Everyone
Im so excited because in a week I get to go to Czech Republic and croatia with my parents. Im really excited because im gonna get to see all my school and JV friend. And im gonna get to see more of Croatita and get lots of pictures that ill post on my blog. Also please pray for me because its going to hard being in the Czech Republic and not being home. God has really done some amazing things in my life here in the U.S. Hese given me some really great friends and shown me a really great youth group. Its going to be really hard leaving again. When we go to Croatia well get a chance to see the local church and get an idea of how life will be there. Ill keep posting while im in Croatia and updating my Blog.

Hey Everybody
During easter its easy to forget the real meaning of Easter. During my brother and sisters there where these little kids hauling these miniature wagons to carry all the candy you get during easter. Its almost turning into another Halloween. In my school your not allowed to call it Easter anymore. But then whats the point of having a 'Spring Holiday' if theres no Easter?

But what is cool is that my church(Grace Community), did this really cool Good friday and Easter sunday services. That jsut really showed me how much God loves me. During good friday I saw parts of "The Passion of the Christ". Anyone who hasnt seen the passion I really recommend it. For me it just refreshes my mind of how Christ died. Just how painful it was. It was just so good to remember how much Jesus loves me.
I mean for someone to die for me I just think thats amazing and then taking my sin too thats just so so cool. Its always good to remember what Easter is about.

Peace and love with faith to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to all of you who love our Lord Jesus Christ with love that never ends Ephesians 5: 23-24

About the McSheffreys

2005-03-24T16:58:00.000-08:00

This is a little info on my family that my dad made. So when he says he thats my dad not me. You can see more on this at my dads blog

About the McSheffrey’s
You could say that we really are a European family. I was born in N. Ireland and immigrated to the U.S. when I was 15. Tawnya was born in Germany, being from a military family, and went back there for a year when she was in her 20’s to go to Bible school. Tawnya’s first mission trip was to Zagreb in Croatia in 1983 and we both went to Hungary in 1987 for a summer mission trip! We have lived in Prague in the Czech Republic for the past 10 years. So when you speak to us about our ministry in E. Europe it is a very natural and familiar conversation. We have 3 children, Connor (13) who has lived most of his life in the Czech Republic and Brendan (8) and Christina (7) whom we adopted from the Ukraine in 1999.
During my days at the University of Kansas, God put in my heart a real desire to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. I knew that to be effective I would need to make disciples, train national leaders who can train others to do the work and embrace whatever culture I moved into.
Tawnya and I made our move to Prague in the Czech Republic in 1995. When we arrived we saw the needs in Eastern Europe; there was an obvious need for the gospel among young people since the fall of communism in 1989. We also saw a hunger in young people for spiritual truth and a pressing need to train youth leaders in the church to reach out with the gospel. God drew us to Josiah Venture, a group of experienced youth pastors working in the Czech Republic and Poland at the time. They were reaching and training students to take the gospel to their friends and bring them to their local youth groups. For the past 10 years we have been serving in this specific ministry; building healthy youth groups, leading English camps and training key leaders in western Czech. We have enjoyed every minute of our time with these Czech students!
In January of 2005, the leadership of the JV ministry asked us to lead a team into Croatia. We have been looking towards this for the past two years and are excited for this next challenge; that of reaching the next generation in Croatia. This is an unbelievable opportunity to reach a generation of young people in a country with complete open doors for the gospel.
So now we are taking our experience from our time in Czech of doing relational evangelism, English camps, model youth ministries in local churches, training leaders at all levels to start over in another country. Niall’s gifts are in the area of starting up new ministries, building a team, counseling, worship and discipleship. Tawnya is gifted in the area of hospitality, encouragement and service. Connor is fast becoming a young leader too. He has a heart for lost people, is fast becoming web savvy as well as quite a good drummer. We will move to Zagreb the capitol of Croatia in June of 2005 to begin this adventure.
This is our story up until this point. We hope and pray that God would bring a new generation of leaders into our midst in Croatia over the next 10 years.

My first blog

2005-03-10T19:28:00.000-08:00

Hey Everyone
This is my first blog entry so its kind of wierd

but hopefully ill get used to it. My life so far has
been pretty exciting and unusual. Ive grown up as an MK
Missionary Kid which has actually been kind of cool I've
been to a lot of different countries see Countries ive been to
My parents were missionaries in the Czech Republic but
after awhile we felt God was calling us to another place so
we went home to America and after a year of studying the
American culture (Not Really) are family has decided to move
to Croatia. Croatia is a country that does not have much to
hold on to. A lot of them need Jesus in their lives.
Our team Josiah Venture has decided to support us
in our Journey in Croatia.
