Bog?


So why the ,"Slovenia Bog blog,"?



Well I trust the ,"Slovenia," (location) and ,"blog," (communication medium) parts of the blog title are clear enough. So what about ,"Bog,"?



Basically, the Slovene word for God is 'Bog'.



Whenever I think about this, I am reminded of the atheist dyslexic insomniac, who stays awake all night wondering if there really is a Dog.



Maybe there is an example of language learning right there.



Jokes aside, it seems appropriate to call a missions blog, a Bog (i.e. God) blog, since mission is an outworking of what God is doing in the world through his church. I don't think I will have much time to go into great theological depth concerning such things, but we certainly want to share what God has been doing in Slovenia through his church and through us.



So I trust that gives you a little bit more of an insight into our blog title. Hopefully something a little bit more meaty next time.

About Us

Mark and Rochelle Groombridge have 3 young children and have been working since 2005 for Reformirana evangelijska cerkev (the Reformed Evangelical Church) in Ljubljana, Slovenia. They have been sent by Australian churches and Christians in association with the Church Missionary Society of Australia (CMS-A). Mark works as an assistant pastor and teacher.

What are we doing?

Mark's primary work is building God's church in Ljubljana alongside the Slovene pastor, Peter Novak. Mark's desire is to proclaim Jesus Christ to those who do not know him, and disciple Christians in their faith, love, and hope in Christ. Practically this means he is teaching on Sundays and mid-week Bible study groups, meeting one-to-one to disciple people, making friendships, and trying to understand the various layers of Slovene culture.

Where are we?:
