Često razmišljam o vremenu Novozavetne crkve i pokušavam da zamislim kako je tada izgledao život. Nakon što sam protekla dva dana provela u Pirotu, više ne moram da zamišljam. Ovi ljudi žive u Novozavetnoj crkvi, kao niko koga sam do…
Последњих пар дана је било најмање заузет. Извињавам се што ово неће бити дугачак пост. Али сам схватио да је нешто боље него ништа! Четвртак смо провели са Јовицом и дозволите ми да вам кажем, овај човјек ради неке сјајне…
Био је веома заузет, али врло продуктиван пут. Већину дана смо напустили нашу хотелску собу у 8 сати, а не вратити се тек након 10 сати. Да кажем да сам исцрпљен је потцењивање, али моје срце је пуна.Суботу и недељу…
Ово је била моја прва посјета мисији која није била структуирана на хуманитарној помоћи или напорима за помоћ у случају катастрофе. То је било да се разговара са пастирима / црквеним лидерима и види како напредују напори за биљке цркава…
Па, мој први пар дана у Србији није разочарала. Стигли смо у суботу поподне у Београд. Постојао је тренутак кроз обичаје, да нисмо мислили да ћемо то учинити са свим нашим пртљагом. Ја ћу те поштедети детаље, али пошто су…
