The story begins late in the evening, in a room where the fan offers precious little relief from the heat. Believers — Roma, Serb, and American — join together in heartfelt prayer, echoing Jesus’ prayer of Matthew 9:37-38 “3 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

We can’t wait to share the pictures of the distribution of school supplies in the village of Zitni Potok! Seventy children received school supplies because of donations that have been made to Linking Partners! The photos will have to speak for themselves because there will soon be more news coming out of south Serbia! Pastor…
On the second day after your visit we traveled into a real adventure. God showed us and His hand wasn’t short. After we got the information from Serbia railways that they cannot give us free rides or discounts, we were about to cancel our sea camp.
