Scientist Michael Parnham will share from his extensive experience in the pharmaceutical industry. He is the author or editor of several books and many academic papers. He and his wife Elaine have lived in Zagreb for a number of years.

Join us for a one hour conversation with other businesspeople before the day starts. We are beginning a discussion about Calvin's book "On the Christian Life."

Missouri State Senator Matt Bartle, in Croatia for a series of talks to university students on the topic of success, shared his experience as a businessman, lawyer, and politician. He and his wife Annette shared about their professional and personal lives.

About 20 of us enjoyed a warm conversation on topics such as professional networking, job change decisions, and financial integrity.

Some interesting quotes from his remarks:
"Now is a very exciting time to be alive. Don't listen to the media telling you that all the news is bad."
"In Christ we have great hope for the future."
"This world is starving for encouragement."
"Starting my business was an exciting time because it was so scary. People who have a safety net below them sometimes are too afraid to make a big move."

Crown Financial Conference in Zagreb, November 13-16

Crown Financial Ministries is an international organization dedicated to applying biblical principles to personal and professional finances. It is active in many countries throughout the world and cooperates with a wide range of churches and Christian organizations. We are glad to participate in introducing Crown to Croatia.

People often ask "What does the Bible have to do with money?" But the Bible claims that money is the source of many kinds of evil, which we all have a chance to witness daily. Money destroys individuals, families, and society. Because of this the Bible mentions money and possessions in 2350 places. It is a critical theme for every person! One of the central topics in Jesus' teaching was money and questions about money. The western financial system is founded on Judeo-Christian values.

In the middle of these worldwide financial difficulties, high-level corruption and out of control personal indebtedness we are presenting a radical new, alternative approach in Croatia. This approach is built on Croatia's Christian heritage, a heritage which for various reasons we have forgotten and abandoned. Come and see that the word of God can chance the way you look on your business and personal finances in a very concrete and understandable way! Get acquainted with principles from the best business book ever, written by the most-read author ever.
