Dear Friends, Sisters and Brothers in Christ Jesus,

It has been some time since I wrote to you. I apologize for that. It is not that you are forgotten in our hearts. We thank you very much for still being in your prayers and thank you for remembering us and our ministry in your lives.

The Lord has been very kind to us! I still serve as a preacher in the Baptist church in Kikinda, the town near us. It made our hearts joyful because we are not waiting the time given us by the Lord. We are working with children and teenagers and preaching of the Word. We also started to have music in the church when we lead worship. The situation immediately changed and many people who left the church before went back to the church, even the whole families.

I led a few people to Christ even in the last month. We tray to visit the families and encourage them to follow the Christ and share the Gospel in their region because as you probably know, Serbia is country with less then 0, 1 % of born again Christians. Praise the Lord for every opportunity!

Now we have 16 children in the children’s Sunday school, 8 teenagers and on Sunday service, sometime there are almost 100 people attending the service. It is great to see the church waking up and being interested of how they can serve in the church.
We dream of going outside and share the Gospel with other. My vision is to rich the youth for Christ but also the other who are lost.

In the same time we continue to meat with small group of our friends every Tuesday evening in our home. Three of them trusted Christ two months ago and now are growing in Christ. That rejoices our hearts and we are so thankful to the Lord! We pray every evening on family devotion for all our friends and neighbors’ conversion and that God would give us opportunity to testify about Him and invite them in to relationship with Him and eternal life.
We need your prayers and any support.

We prepare to serve as a family in at least 3 summer camps this year. It will be one children camp and two teenager camps. Pray that God will give us opportunity to lead many children and teenagers to the decision for Christ.

In the same time we face hard time with our finances. The expenses are growing and from time to time I have to do any other work to help our family; something like, to paint some rooms, work in the field, cutting the grass to someone itc. That is not problem for me because sometime it gives me opportunity to tell people about Christ just, it is very hard to find any job in Serbia now and it eats me the time to prepare and serve in the church.
Please, pray that God will provide enough money for us to be able to register our car and buy a wood for heating on the winter. This is now the priority.
Thank you for your faithful love and prayers! We need them all.
God bless you!

Greetings from Serbia!
Love,
Darko and Elizabeth Vika
