Preparing to Join God\u2019s Work in Croatia
\n<\/b>Please Pray for the Liddell Family<\/b><\/h2>\n
\n

Fred and Jonelle Liddell, along with their children Alex and Jael, are preparing to move to Croatia in early 2026, stepping into a calling shaped by prayer, patience, and deep trust in God\u2019s timing. They are joining God in what he is already doing among the people of Croatia, long before they arrive.<\/p>\n

During recent prayer walks through Croatian cities and towns, Jonelle was struck by the image of an old house, weathered, cracked, yet still standing after generations. It became a powerful picture of the spiritual landscape they are entering. In a place where religion often exists as cultural identity rather than living faith, the Liddells are praying that God would do something new and that the knowledge of him would no longer be distant or abstract, but personal, present, and transforming.<\/p>\n

Their preparation season has been full and at times heavy. Training, travel, meetings, and international planning have been layered with unexpected health concerns and logistical hurdles. Yet through each interruption, the Liddells have continued to sense God\u2019s steady invitation: Will you notice what I am already doing? Will you join me?<\/i> With open hands, they are answering yes!<\/b><\/p>\n

In the midst of transition, family life remains central. Alex eagerly talks about Croatia, while Jael fills their days with songs, coloring, and imaginative play. Together, the family anchors their hearts in simple truths: Jesus is strong and kind, he calms the storm, and is near in seasons of change.<\/p>\n

As they look toward their move in early 2026, the Liddells are asking others to join them as supporters and as prayer partners. The work ahead will require language learning, cultural humility, spiritual discernment, and endurance. Above all, it will require listening closely to the Spirit as they seek to walk faithfully among the people God loves.<\/p>\n

God is already at work in Croatia. <\/b>The Liddells are preparing to join him!<\/b><\/p>\n

\n

Please pray:<\/i><\/b><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • For health, strength, and clarity as ongoing medical needs are addressed.<\/li>\n
  • For peace and focus as preparations and logistics continue.<\/li>\n
  • For language learning and cultural understanding once they arrive.<\/li>\n
  • For open hearts in Croatia, that many would encounter Jesus personally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
