Considerations

The local church in Croatia (Baptists, Pentecostal Church in Karlovac); are internally oriented, little growth. But potential. Will have to be invested in. Church in Croatia is still young and needs input and education. Possibly also YWAM (see below) can mean something in the motivation and mobilization of the believers in Croatia in relation to missions.
Student working at M&S (idea) : Idea was suggested to be able to gradually delegate tasks to this person. Possibly to also act as “caretaker” if Meindert and Samira are not there (or even if they are there).
Nothing will happen there if M&S are not there. The question is whether this is a problem. In any case, it is a fact. There is now a close-knit group of young people in Croatia, so we don't really have to start over when we return.
Also applies to the Netherlands: will not be taken over. As an example and illustration I (Meindert) mentioned that I fell ill last year while a presentation / info evening was planned. It could not continue then. I wanted to mention this because at the moment we certainly have the people who could best take over this. That is a big step and an encouraging development.
Mission is less alive than a few years ago. This was a comment regarding developments in the municipality. Within the municipality, matters such as municipal management and building have received more attention in the past five years. During an open congregation meeting the theme “mission” was therefore not brought up. Mission Committee is committed to bringing the theme of missions to the attention again.

Future (explanation: Meindert)
groups that come and know what they want and that we facilitate
-our children have to go to school in the Netherlands
-would like it to become a center (in Donja Brusovaca, Croatia) in which we participate
-Youth with an Assignment wants to have a department in Croatia (DTS internship)
-Important: do not develop too much on our site yourself
-Letting go of everything there, can you? Answer Meindert: is that necessary? (why was that question actually asked?)

Camping
-Instead of 40 places, we have 10, construction stopped in 2009. (The story: started in 2005 with a working group that focused on the construction of commercial camping sites on our site. Working group was struggling with internal problems such as illness and stopped in 2007. Meindert has taken over the baton and reduced the plan to 10 pitches.There was an idea to give the campsite a commercial character until 2010. In 2011, Meindert abandoned this idea: it is not a realistic option within the situation in Croatia and the situation of the Jorna family. The plan now is: a camping site to give groups the opportunity to participate in developing a mission vision.)
-After that I invested a lot in it, but now decided: don't do it anymore
idea is now: finish it anyway, but then as a base for shipment

Contact
-Skype connection during church service in the Netherlands (idea)
group of Croatian youths come to the Netherlands (before the summer)
-organize the mission market
– People are especially needed who – in the simplest of things – can contribute (visit, send knots of wool)
-it's going to live when you've seen it there yourself
– young people on Facebook (www.facebook.com/projektduga)
– www.projektduga.nl An account can also be created there and personal ideas, photos and comments can be posted. A chat channel has also been installed via www.projektduga.nl that is open continuously.

Prayer point
Consultation with Youth with a Mission about the possibilities for those interested who are there to be involved there for a longer period of time. Meindert's wish is that within YWAM this year (2012) the decision will be made to start a department in Croatia (which will be a kind of office in Zagreb, Split or possibly Karlovac). After that, Brusovaca could serve as an internship for DTS students.
