Mid-week service in Bosnia
It happened over 10 years ago but Radovan still showed emotion as he told it to us. In the midst of shooting Radovan and his family had to leave their home due to the ethnic cleansing going on in his little village. At first they were given refuge by a neighbor but soon they were not able to provide them safety either so they moved to another town about 20 kms. away. In that house he found a Bible and began to read it. A short time later his wife Blajenzka was invited to a meeting and was introduced to Jesus. She came back to tell her family what she had learned. Radovan asked her if they had talked about “one God”. She wondered how he knew what they had talked about. In his reading of the Bible he had been struck about this truth. The result was that he too accepted the Lord and in time so did his two boys and Blajenzka’s Aunt. Today one of the sons is the Pastor of the local church, Radovan has distributed Gospel literature to the homes in 80% of the country. He told me that he does not dare go to the remaining 20% because of the land mines present in that area. Nothing has been able to quench their zeal for the Lord. Their oldest son is getting married and they will leave their home to him and his new wife. They are going to go back to the place they had to flee from with the hope of seeing a new church plant established. Radovan and his family are asking us to consider helping them fulfill their vision of reaching the entire area for the Lord.
