Breaking Through in Montenegro

Boris and Ursa Curcic, who lead Christ Gospel Church in Podgorica, Montenegro, have often shared how spiritually tough the ground is in the country. Other partners in Montenegro say the same.

In a recent newsletter, Boris and Ursa wrote that a young believer who had been serving in the worship team had returned to Serbia after three months in Montenegro.

[The young man] said the ground in Montenegro is too heavy. He couldn't withstand the difficult Montenegrin spiritual atmosphere. We're sad because of it but we understand it's not easy and many believers leave Montenegro. We believe God will raise His servants in Montenegro, the ones who'll be ready to surrender their lives here. Please support us in prayers for those servants.

Despite the tough ground, Boris and Ursa are hopeful that God will work out His plans and purposes through His people. Already, they meet each month with other church leaders to pray for the nation.

Online Prayer Gathering

On Friday 11th April at noon BST, you are invited to pray with them at our Online Prayer Gathering. Boris and Ursa have a few new visions and plans. We're not sure they're sharing specific details at this stage, but we can still pray so that lives in Montenegro will be transformed by the Good News of Jesus Christ.

On Fire for God

We've received a very encouraging update from partners Nikola and Daniela Atanasovi in Bulgaria. They minister within several churches in Roma communities. Here are a few highlights:

We thank God for His generosity and grace. During these months, the revival that ignited in Shishmantsi continued to burn and ignite many. The prayer group is very active. There are people who are praying 24/7, and recently they are constantly fasting ...On Sundays, there is almost no room for those who want to join the service.

Thank you for your help in feeding the families in the church in Shishmansti this year [through Harvest for the Hungry]. Winter is always a critical period for them. At that time there is no work in the fields and many are left without any income.

Since St. Valentine's Day, we started a new service. [We hold] groups in which everyone can ask questions or express an opinion on any topic related to marriage and relationships. It turned out that in Roma societies this is a taboo topic and the majority are ignorant of many marriage issues. From only two services we have testimonies of changed and restored relationships in each of the families present. We are happy that both families are already actively involved in ministry and will be ordained deacons soon.
