<\/a><\/p>\nThrough our talk we came up with an idea what we think could be realized, and we think it would be good base for what we want to do in future. Our idea is that next time when we go to visit, to make it two-day-visit. In the morning we would spend time with Ivan and his son Dragan (22), pray with them, read the Multiply book, and after lunch we would visit people who wants to hear Gospel. Also Ivan\u2019s wife Danijela, said what was really true. She said that she wants to work more for the Lord, but she doesn\u2019t know a lot of things, and this visit would be helpful for her because she would have much more time to spend with Caca and learn from her. On these words we were just surprised and couldn\u2019t believe in what we hear. From our experience we learned that some things don\u2019t go as fast as we want, but this statement just left us in silence for a moment.<\/p>\n

I think that moment, Holy Spirit, while we were all in silence, made us to thank God in our heart for what He does among these people. We were surprised by what we heard but we also waited for these words to come to our ears. After our talk, we all felt great happiness and pleasure, we were all aware that that was atmosphere of spirit which came to us from Lord’s Grace and love He has for us.<\/p>\n
Our meeting we arranged at 17h in Ivan\u2019s home (Mali Suvodol, village where Ivan lives, it is 7km away from Pirot)<\/p>\n Since our car wasn\u2019t in condition to drive all the people to that house church meeting in Ivan\u2019s home, Ivan called taxi to drive people, but because taxi was expensive, Ivan decided to go by walk in Roma community to find some cheaper transportation. For 1500 dinar (appx $15), a man named Srdjan accepted to drive all people to the meeting and to drive them back home (he had to drive in two groups). Around 16 h we were in the village and 15 minutes later the first group came. Between them few women and a man. Women came in house where Caca was, and Niki and I stayed outside with that man and Ivan\u2019s son Dragan. While we waited for the second group, we had time to talk about God, church. Not long ago after that, there was second group. I expected that the driver will go home and after meeting will come back, but this was another great surprise, he stayed with us!<\/p>\n In our meeting was Ivan\u2019s whole family (5 of them), all persons from last meeting (Dragana 44, Stana 60, Zaklina 38, Gaga 35, Andljela 15, Alen 9, Elnisa 9) and two new persons Najdan 48 (Dragana\u2019s husband) and Srdjan 35 (Gaga\u2019s husband, driver). Our meeting we started when Ivan, as host gave short introduction for what is in front of us, and called all the people to close their eyes and then prayed for us. After that, I asked if they had chance to pray or read New Testament \u2013 their answer was great surprise, they all said how they read about Jesus baptism (Mathew 3) and that they all prayed in their home few times.<\/p>\n The reason why they started to read that first was because they didn\u2019t like genealogy, and the second chapter they didn\u2019t understand, so they started to read from there. Ivan told us that he saw once Gaga and Srdjan how they read New Testament together, and after that Srdjan said that he is interested in it but he never could find right person who will help him to understand what is faith, Jesus, God.<\/strong> He also told us, he feels glad because he met us. After that Najdan told us that he had never had chance to listen about God in this way even though he knew about Bible because Dragana was earlier involved with another religion. All of them had a chance to say their experience, but most powerful was when Zaklina told us that she feels much more safe than when we started with gathering. \u201cFirst time was nice. But we didn\u2019t know how it will go further, but now when you are here we are more safe and we hope we will know God\u2019s word even better\u201d \u2013 Zaklina.<\/p>\n After all these, Niki lead us in praising with guitar. We sang songs \u201cDevla bical to duho \u2013 God send your spirit\u201d, \u201cDevla slava tuke \u2013 God we praise you\u201d and \u201cAsunen Romalen \u2013 Hear Romas\u201d. After that, a few of us prayed and then Niki testified about how he met God. Also we had a short word about last time (Matthew 24). The reason we talked about this were questions they asked. About this all I could write even more but I want to say more important things.<\/p>\n This group of people is educated, all of them know to read and write, and comparing to some other Roma where we work, they show more interest. I am not sure, but I think they all finished primary education level. This time we shared four copies of the book \u201cLife of Jesus Christ\u201d, four copies of the book \u201cWhen your whole world crushes down\u201d one book \u201cJesus, Our Destiny\u201d we gave to Srdjan for reading so when he finishes he can give to another one. We left with Ivan the book \u201cRighteous in Front of God\u201d and \u201cJesus, Our Destiny\u201d. We need more Bibles, that Ivan asked for.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
