SCOTT & JAYNE CUIDON, CRU Over the past few years Scott & Jayne have been praying about their future and their ability to continue to reside in Croatia while traveling back to the U.S. multiple times a year.

6 SCOTT & JAYNE CUIDON, CRU Over the past few years Scott & Jayne have been praying about their future and their ability to continue to reside in Croatia while traveling back to the U.S. multiple times a year. Lately, they have seen God s hand in expanding their family responsibilities, and due to the needs of their family, they will be relocating to the U. S. this December to be able to help their parents and their kids as they deal with physical or emotional needs in their lives. After 25 years in Croatia, this expansion is HUGE for them. While they are still trying to figure out many of the details, they will begin by relocating to Birmingham, AL to be with Jayne s mom and their kids who live in that area. Their ministry focus will stay on Eastern Europe in spite of their physical move. They will continue to stay on staff with CRU, to travel to Europe several times a year, and hold Barnabas Zentrum retreats and training. This morning s Change for Change offering will be to help with the cost of travel and the transition.
