BOSNIA
FEBRUARY 9, 2010
We hope that you are doing well. You are always in
our hearts and prayers. We are thankful to God for you. Thank you for
keeping us in your prayers.
Project of Evangelization through
teaching English finished in Saturday. The last team members left home
in Sunday. Lot
of people had chance for the first time to hear about Jesus. We are
again remained that people in Bosnia
have very negative picture about Christian and that they practically
have no idea what Bible says about Jesus. We had a lot of conversations
during which we shared about our faith. All of our participants have
very good impressions and it is also one of results of this course. When
someone speaks badly about us, there are 120 new people who will say
that they were our guests and that they have good opinion about us. More
important is that number of them came to our services. Around 40 of them
decided to continue to go to English lessons (once a week) that will be
followed with coffee/tea time and after that with short class and
discussion. We are planning to start with classes that are focused on
Biblical moral standards and to speak more and more about importance of
faith in Jesus. Big number of our participants are University Students
in Tuzla
who are from other parts of Bosnia.
So, we see this as open doors for areas that are very radical and until
now completely closed for Gospel. Praise to God for that.
During the last two weeks we were not
following news. Now, we just realized that there was big police action
against Muslim radicals in village Gornja Maoca (around 80 km from
Tuzla). Police found a lot of weapon and
materials for radical propaganda. It looks that they were trying to
influence the rest of Muslims in north-east
Bosnia. Please pray for peace in
Bosnia.
From this week we are continuing with
Evangelization through English. We will have two groups every Monday and
two groups every Wednesday. Please keep it in your prayers.
Grandparents are doing very well. Martina
is doing well in school. Zeljko and I are also doing very well.
God bless you!

Thank you for being with us in prayer. In
Saturday we started the biggest evangelization project in our church
ever. Saturday was the day for initial testing and we had more than 120
non Christian people who came to our church. Thanks to God from the
first day we started to have very good relation with participants. We
also had some very good questions and conversations. Among participants
we also had some very conservative Muslim people and we hope that they
will also continue to come to program. Please continue to keep us in
prayer. Our days are starting very early and we are coming back home
around midnight. Pray that God gives us wisdom and strength. Also,
please pray for all participants to have open hearts for Gospel. I will
attach several pictures from initial testing.
God bless you!

In one week we will start with two weeks of
Evangelization through teaching English Language. We already have 58
participants who applied for course. It looks that we will have around
100 non Christians who will come to course and with who we will have
chance to speak about God. The most of participants are students. We
pray that God will open their hearts. Please be with us in prayer for
all participants and for our church members and friends who will help us
during the course. Course will start in January 23rd and it
will finish in February 7th. During that time we will have
several different programs and it will be very busy time. I will send
updates, so that you can pray for specific things. Thank you for being
with us in prayer.
Martina has chicken pox. Yesterday and today she had
fever. Doctor said that it will take around 10 days. She was suppose to
start with new school semester in Monday, so it looks that she will have
one week longer winter break. Grandparents, Zeljko and I are doing well.
God bless you!
Lot of love and greetings from Lela
