Where does my help come from?


You know how people prayed for people back in the day? Like how Moses prayed for Israel? How Hannah prayed for Samuel? How Nehemiah prayed for Jerusalem? How Jesus prayed for the disciples? Well I was thinking a lot about prayer lately seeing how real spritual warfare is. Both me and Wendy have seen it, heard it, felt it and experienced it like never before for last few days. How do you win that ''warfare''? No secrets here, it's prayer, everyone knows it. It really is. Do you believe it though? Do you really believe prayer changes things? Moses believed it for sure, Hannah did too, Nehemiah hopefully did considering we call him a ''man of prayer'', and Jesus prays for me as I write this, that blows His cover, He must believe it too. I feel like I'm starting to believe it just now, actually I no longer believe it, I know it. Going through intense warfares, like never before in our lives, makes both me and Wendy pray, we ask Jesus to come and deliver, and He does. He comes, and He doesn't fight the warfare, He just wins. He's cool like that.

I got quite a few verses from people for Serbia, and almost every single one of them contains ''darkness'' in it. Like ''darkness covers the earth'' and ''deep darkness covers the people'' and ''people who walked in darkness''. Me and Wendy started feeling that darkness here, and it's scary. It's so scary. It shakes everything we say we believe in. Makes us count the cost over and over again.

And it's never easy, it seems harder everytime. So we'd like to ask you guys to please pray for us. We're just two little people trying to shine in the dark. And dark's not okay with it. We need your prayer support. Wanna help us out?

Hello 2011.


Hello from Subotica, Serbia!


Life's been great lately! Almost 3 months into this ''life style'' and it still doesn't feel real. I'm living my dream, that's why it doesn't feel real. Live in Serbia - check. Serve the Lord full time – check. Have Lord meet my needs daily – check. Date the most beautiful girl in the world – check. Live close to a bakery shop – check. Seems like God likes me a lot.


Ministry...

My schedule is starting to be packed with activities. Tuesday to Friday I work on typing a Bible commentary using my pastor's teachings that we have recorded (I'm just typing what he says word by word, than we have it corrected and checked, and hopefully printed soon as we're getting done with the Book of Acts!). I love this project. Serbia needs a good Bible commentary since we have only a couple in our language. We'll be giving them out for free once we print them out! Pray that it blesses thousands! Why not millions? I also do worship on Sundays, we're band in making. I play guitar and sing, there's two more vocalists, a cellist, bass guitarist and a drummer. It's been challenging trying to orchestrate it without experience that I don't have. But we're okay, I guess we could perform on Superbowl sooner or later. I also work in the church coffee shop on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, help out with cleaning the church once a week, and soon we should start having Friday night Bible studies for youth which I'd be teaching. So nothing too crazy or too busy. Both me and Wendy know Lord wants to use this time to prepare us for whatever He'll have us do. So we're just resting in Him and letting Him change us. We have so many plans and thoughts of what we could do, but we're waiting to hear back from the Lord. We don't want to step out by might or by power, but by His Spirit.


Life...

Oh it's just great. I've been exploring the city with Wendy, getting used to life outside of Bible College, trying to learn things I've never heard of such as ''being responsible'' and ''eating 3 times a day''. Crazy, I know. I'm waiting for warmer weather to start playing soccer outside. I'm done with winter.


Pray for...

Please pray that me and Wendy would get to make a lot of friends in this city;

Please pray for God's protection, guidance and wisdom;

Please pray for God's provision for me and Wendy;
