Old blog post prior to 2020
We’re sitting in a home in a small village, Despotovo, in northern Serbia. We greet one another warmly, despite the fact that we don’t speak one another’s language. We know we have the same heavenly father! We’re here for a home church meeting. In this region of Serbia, pastor Saša and the church planters who…
We live in a time of crisis, but still, Church is not in crisis, because it stands in prayer in front of God. When we were in crisis and didn’t have money to pay rent for space in Mladenovac, and other places, we didn’t even think that it will bring us new joy. I can’t…
The house church has four adults (Miki and Vesna, Sasa and Lidija Veselji) and six children including 15-year-old Milos among them. Since Miki and Vesna and Milos are in Germany, it means that we have one couple in that group (Sasa and Lidija) but much more children. On 9th January 2015, we visited that village,…
We are thankful to God for last year, and every blessing we received from His hand. We are also thankful for new friendships which He gave to us, and new places which we could go for Christ. The Lord lead us this year in a weird way, but that is also the best way because…
Blessings to all. We wish you blessed holidays. Here, December was full of activities, just like others with sharing gifts.

Pozdrav draga braco i sestre! (Hello our dear brothers and sisters!) I hope you are well and enjoy spending time with your families, and the best spent time is with family in fellowship with our Heavenly Father. These days behind us brought us and happiness and sadness. As you know, Danijel is in Germany for…
It’s 26º F/-3º C outside. You’re five years old and your only coat is a thin fleece jacket, but at least it’s several sizes too big, so it covers your hands. Your home is made of recycled materials — rough on the outside, finished on the inside, but very little, if any, insulation. It’s COLD!…
Selenča — the village the Linking Partners’ team visited in July where a company that pumps out septic tanks has been emptying their trucks into an open pond just a few feet from the homes in this Roma community. Children walk barefooted ten feet from open sewage. No one cares, because it is a Roma…
