Our Travels in Europe

Greta and I are on a month-long trip to Europe visiting missionary teams who work with our mission agency, Team Expansion. Our first stop is Dublin, Ireland, and the home of Paul and Abigail Steiner. It is easy to forget just how beautiful Ireland is. Dublin and the fields and farms surrounding it are always greener and the Irish Sea bluer than we remember from the last visit.
This trip we are making Dublin the hub for our various trips to Kosova, Italy, Hungary and Romania. We will try to keep something coming as we move around during this tour. We are deeply indebted to Paul and Abigail for opening their home to us and allowing us to camp out there between trips.
This post is coming after we have already visited Kosova, where we attended the opening of the new American High school, organized and staffed through the work of the Chesnut family. The school will be staffed by teachers from churches in Cincinnati, Ohio and Northern Kentucky. All classes will be taught in English. It is designed to be the finest English school in Kosova. The event was important enough that the city mayor of Pristina, {population 600,000} the capital, came to cut the ceremonial opening ribbon.
As the school grows and prospers, it will become a big feather in the hat of our workers in Kosova where levels of education are very low.
