Dear brothers, sisters and friends,
The week nine of the 2nd semester is over. It was pretty intense and active in every way.
As far as the classes are concerned, the students were taught by Gareth Bolton this week, one of the teachers who have been with us from the very beginning of the work of the Bible school. He taught 2 Samuel, as well as the Book of Isaiah, which he will continue to teach during the next week too. Gareth taught it in a special way, which leaves no person indifferent. On the contrary, it inspires. The students have also been very busy preparing the final essays as well as the final exam of this semester.
Visits to churches and practical days
Last week was the first time that we visited the first Baptist church in Sremska Mitrovica, which is a small, old church, with a long tradition. The people were encouraged by our ministry there and thankful that we had some time to come, visit them and serve them in this way.
Also, on Thursday, we went to visit two families with disabled children. It is hard to explain how God is opening the doors for us to share the Gospel. People often tell us that they’re happy and pleased to have us with them. They ask us to sing Christian songs to them, tell them about God, pray for them. We simply see the hand of God in all of that.
There is nothing as precious and blessed as serving others. We are always encouraged and additionally motivated by the words from the Gospel of John 12:26: “Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. “
Thank you so much for your prayers and every other kind of support.
We desire every blessing to you all.
