Students

It's a little crazy that the main thing I am doing in Skopje, namely working with the students, gets very little mention on my blog!

Well, in the last month we have started a regular prayer meeting with students, having it actually in the faculty, which is a significant thing. People need to be blessed and prayed for - there are thousands of students at the faculty who don't have a meaningful relationship with God and don't know about His amazing love for them.

A group is forming, with whom we can organize other events as well, such as meeting in a cafe to talk about God with several of the people we know - focussing on some area where they feel most need; or having a band playing on the campus - also doing some fun things for the students as very few people are organising that sort of thing, simply to be blessing to the students.

Banica 2

Yesterday in Banica: We arrived to see a large group of people already there and as we opened the doors, they pushed in, eager for the front row seats. Although these were first taken by some of the children, the older ones physically picked them up and removed them, taking the seats for themselves! The place that we are renting was completely filled, even by the time of the meeting, and more were coming later. We spent a bit of time getting some "order", then after some worship songs, we prayed for some who were sick. Next came a fiery preach and a call for those who wanted eternal life to stand up and pray. I think almost everyone stood, although I'm sure some of them had done so before. Many people took Bibles afterwards, and I told them to read them through. It's still early days for this church, and almost everyone has heard the gospel for the first time during this year, but we are starting to plan the way to develop the people into strong disciples for Jesus.
