Blessings are overflowing from the north of Serbia this month. In Sasa’s report, below, you can read how God is working in seven different villages and towns that Sasa reports on. You can be sure he has work going elsewhere, that just didn’t make it into this report! Praise God for His faithfulness and for these who work in the spirit of 2 Timothy 2:15: Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.
In Tovarisevo started something good to happen. Uncle, Mirko and me made plan that Mirko or uncle preach and I will work with children during the service. I don’t know why I said it, but it was on my heart to tell.
While we had services in Tovarisevo, Roma children were coming on class and enjoyed. After the service I would pick them and drive them home, and meet their parents. We are going every Wednesday to Tovarisevo, and children are going every Sunday in Church of God, where they have Sunday school even when we are not there. Once they called me and said: Sasa, last Sunday was so many children on service that we couldn’t have service from them. I was happy that Lord started with work there. Parents called me to come at lunch and to preach to them. We are still making leaders there, working intensively with them and they are visiting families also.
In Selenca we had evangelization, whole settlement came, we had guests from HUB (Christian society from Belgrade) and they worshiped and preached, giving their testimonies which encouraged a lot people.
In Kula we had visit to members of house groups. I was encouraged when I saw how Mirko is working with them, how they have trust him and listen what he says. I have to say again, house group there isn’t with Roma but with Serbian people.
We visited one young man who is very good at painting, we talked with him, gave him Bible to read. He had a lot of questions for us, which showed me he wants to study the word! He was encouraged by our side, because we called him to make small exhibition of his paintings.
What I want to emphasize also is visit to Goran, who God set free from drug and alcohol for one night. Goran said to us how we can see the glory of God in his life daily. He have job to do, so he can pay place to live. Only what is hard for him is that he lost his friends, because he quit drug abusing. We prayed for him and shared Gods word with him.
In Kucura we had visit of one couple from Faroe Islands. They spent 6 weeks with us. Uncle and Mirko went with them, visiting people and evangelized, and also worked with house groups. In Kucura, Lord lift up one new family who want to work with people, and I work with them twice per month.
In Djurdjevo, leaders are growing, but we have troubles with having no people in church, because most of them are going to asylum in Germany.
In Kulpin, we have LEADER, Haleluja. Dule who said he will never be leader, came to situation that he is leader now. Dule or Vladimir is person, who was asked by Jim to become leader and answered no.
Saturday we had to go to service to Kulpin but we couldn’t so Dule asked where are we, I said that we can’t come, and he asked what to do because people came. I asked him to do the service by himself, and finished talk. So, Dule lead house group and in him was born wish to continue. Dule has few people who want to study word of God, so they asked me to come and help them.
God blessed us a lot, so we got from meat industry Carnex, food in worth of almost 3000 euros. We shared it to people. Praise the Lord.
