CROATIA

On this trip, we will partner with Dan (a CFNI grad) and his beautiful Family as they minister to the people of Bolivia. His church is one that is dedicated to serving the needs of the church and community through practical projects. We primarily focus on working with kids, troubled youth, and families. Our goal is to provide support and resources to those who need it most, and to help build stronger, more cohesive communities. Whether we're visiting homes, organizing food drives, or teaching children about the importance of faith and community, our work is always focused on making a positive impact in the lives of others.

Thank you so much for you willingness to partner with churches in Bolivia.

Over the last decade, Juvenet, under the leadership of Caleb and Alyssa Mooney, have had the privilege of hosting hundreds of people on life-changing missions outreaches. Diverse teams have come from all over North America to serve alongside our national Juvenet teams in a joint effort to share the salvation message of Jesus throughout their country. Months of prayer and careful planning are invested in customizing every detail of each individual mission trip to assure that we are providing the best possible missions experience. Teams are involved in a wide spectrum of outreaches during their missions week…free medical clinics, local church outreaches, and events, food distributions, VBS, evangelistic school outreaches, wheelchair distributions, church construction, special outings with severely handicapped orphans, youth camps, and building homes for widows and orphans. Thousands have experienced and come to know the love of Jesus through the compassion and work of these mission teams. Remember our family’s motto…pray hard, work hard, play hard…well after a week of praying and working hard, we believe there is some well-deserved fun to be had. Our teams enjoy their day off with a variety of adventures…zip-lining through the jungle, boat rides, swimming in hot springs, shopping in village markets, and eating local delicacies. The memories created and relationships built during each missions week are those that are cherished for a lifetime.

JuveNet launched in Guatemala, January of 2006, as a response to a powerful vision God showed Caleb Mooney. It began with a handful of youth pastors and very quickly spread throughout the country. In 2008, God opened the doors for JuveNet to branch out into the surrounding countries; El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, and Belice joined JuveNet as national teams were developed in each country. These teams consist of youth pastors who were strategizing and seeking God’s will for the next generation of their country. By 2010, JuveNet had spread into all of Central America. On March 28, 2013, a dream came true as JuveNet extended into South America with the launch of JuveNet Colombia. Over the last nine years, untold multitudes of young people have been reached through JuveNet, and thousands more trained and inspired during annual youth retreats, community outreaches, and leadership intensives. Through this ministry, young people are being healed, restored, and raised up…one life at a time! The best part is, JuveNet has only just begun. The ultimate goal of this ministry is to establish a dynamic national team in every country of Latin America. JuveNet wants to see thousands more young people join the movement and answer God’s call for this Generation…To do His Will!

Stay tuned as we build an exciting and Kingdom building week of ministry for you to be a part of!

This trip partners with Love on the Move Ministries and the Baker family. We will be hosting several VBS's, feeding the homeless, doing prison ministry, and doing a host of other outreaches. This a great trip for families and young children.

Love on the Move is a grass roots Christian missions organization that was founded in 2012. It was born out of a deeply-known calling from the Lord. Our vision is to display God's great love through human acts for the purpose of making disciples of Jesus among Native Americans and Indigenous tribes. In 2012, Love on the Move began ministering to the Navajo tribe in Northwestern New Mexico, affecting Navajo chapters including: Counselor, Nageezi, Heurfano, Ojo Encino, Pueblo Pintada, and other communities. Since the beginning, we have taught Bible studies, led worship services, preached the Gospel, prayed with many to receive Jesus as Savior and Lord, gave out Navajo Bibles, served in evangelistic outreaches and more. We also reached out through provision of humanitarian aide- food, clothing, toiletries, hygiene products, toys, etc. Love on the Move has served in churches and with missions organizations. We have reached out to all walks of life. We believe that God does not desire that anyone be lost. We seek to show others that we are no better than our fellow man, but it is only through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ in our hearts that we too have been changed. "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2:8 After serving in several evangelistic outreaches, we began to notice needs that were not being met. We noticed many abandoned churches on the reservation and heard countless stories of the forgotten mission field- Native America. People began asking us for not just Bible studies, but more in depth teachings. Those asking were hungry for the Word of God for themselves and for their families and friends. They wanted to learn how to minister. Some even wanted to become missionaries. However, we also noticed that many Navajo are deeply connected with their families and Navajo-land (Diné Bi Kéyah). For a Navajo to travel far away for Bible school, it would be quite difficult. There would be numerous cultural differences experienced that might hinder their studies. This is when the idea of bringing a Bible School to the Navajo people was birthed in our hearts. In August 2017, Love on the Move established two CFNI satellite training program campus locations on the reservation, entitled Christ for the Nations - Navajo Nation (one full-time and one part-tine) through the Native American Initiative project established by Geobound Ministries, which is in partnership with Christ for the Nations Institute, Dallas, Texas. As we thought about working toward meeting the need for deeper Biblical study and training in ministry on the reservation, we found that some of our future applicants would not meet the requirements to apply. They had not received their high school diploma. Some have tried studying and testing for their GED for years, but few have been successful. With a background in Christian education, the Baker family felt there must be a way to meet this need. And so, Love on the Move has also now begun a program to provide adults a second chance at finishing their high school career! The program is FULLY ACCREDITED! We are excited to watch adults achieving success! We also see an enormous necessity to continue reaching out through the provision of humanitarian relief - being the hands and feet of Jesus. During the past few months, we have been able to provide and disperse food, clothing, diapers, toiletries, and more. We are praying and believing for more donations to come in so that we can give out more! Along with all this, Love on the Move plans to continue with evangelistic outreaches - seasonal outreaches, youth outreaches, Vacation Bible Schools, and more to affect the Navajo Nation for the Lord. Our goal is to team up with sound, Bible-based, local churches that we know well, that are able to provide long-lasting discipleship once tent revivals or services are finished.

We will be working with Pastor Mario and CCE Church. They have a vision to:  Carry the gospel to every place where it is not presented with integrity. ​ Change our community and it’s residents through repentance and personal faith in Jesus Christ. ​ Present the gospel in a practical means through a variety of talents, personalities and ministries. ​ Establish institutions, associations, and organizations that will promote, through their activities, the principles of God’s Kingdom in the Republic of Croatia. ​ Actively launch and influence politics, the media, and the business world in the Republic of Croatia with above by extending and maintaining Biblical morals and ethical principles. Raise up a new generation of leaders who will effectively serve in churches, fellowships and the business world with fairness and justice.

Crkva Cjelovitog Evanđelja, an interdenominational church, was established in 1989 under the name Fellowship of Believers of the Full Gospel.  The church was begun with the help and close cooperation of the Para-church organization Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International (FGBMFI).  After the law on the right position of religious communities in the Republic of Croatia was established in 2003 the church changed her name to Crkva Cjelovitog Evanđelja (CCE, Church of the Full Gospel).  In October of 2001 the church came under the new leadership of President Mario Dučić. Crkva Cjelovitog Evanđelja is Protestant-evangelistic and based on Christian principles found in the Bible.  The church cooperates with similar churches in Croatia and surrounding areas whose roots descend from the international Pentecostal movement, which emerged toward the end of the 19th century as an answer to new spiritual stirrings; which means that emphasis is placed on a living, practical faith in Jesus Christ and the working of the Holy Spirit among believers. Crkva Cjelovitog Evanđelja emphasizes evangelism, prayer, study of the Word, music, and the training of believers-laity for the arenas of civil and church leadership.  The church is very active in the plans of society and politics in the Republic of Croatia; she actively helps and takes part in establishing and functioning with various civil societies as well as Para-church institutions whose vision promotes practical Christian values in all regions of society. The church is especially involved in promoting religious freedom, family values, and moral ethics by public projects contributing to the general good of mankind.

Our ministry in Croatia will focus on evangelism and children's ministry. The actual schedule will be released closer to our trip. But rest assured there will be plenty of opportunity to meet new people, minister the Gospel, and see lives changed.
