Before the dam, the Iron Gates gorge on the Danube was one of the most feared stretches of river in Europe. Boatmen wrote letters home the night before they went through. This is ours, recorded on a boat between Golubac Fortress and the Iron Gates, right on the Serbia–Romania border.In this episode: what a 600-year-old fortress taught us about the church, how God answered the prayer you prayed two months ago (Zander and Caleb are here!), our Bible table at the Najlon flea market, a new Serbian gospel tract with a QR code, Šumska avantura for kids, free Red Cross training, a Prayer Night for Serbia, and the Nicodemus Project this winter.Please pray with us: for the people we met in Niš, for a church grounded in the Word, for Zander, Caleb and the Nicodemus students, and for wisdom in several important decisions.Follow the show so you don't miss the next letter home.millerfamilylight.com

In this final update before returning to Southern Europe, we reflect on four months of furlough, six years of missionary service, and the personal cost and lasting purpose of following God’s call.Recorded from my late grandmother’s home, this is a quieter and more personal update about grief, family, supporting churches, the condition of the ministry, and the decisions awaiting us when we return. We also share our desire to strengthen the church, disciple national believers, and prepare others to carry the work forward with biblical conviction.As you listen, please pray for wisdom concerning the ministry’s next stage, deeper spiritual roots among the believers, strength for our family’s return, and grace through another season of travel, transition, and difficult goodbyes.Scripture: Psalm 90:12 and 2 Corinthians 4:18Thank you to every church, pastor, family, and individual who has prayed, given, and stood beside us throughout these past six years.
