Serbia Update

Thank you to many of you for checking in with us about the Serbia/Kosovo situation and thank you for your prayers for Serbia and the believers there. Since the volitale situation started last week when Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia, there have been riots and also some large peaceful demonstrations. Much of this unrest has been in Belgrade and Novi Sad but there have been problem spots throughout Serbia and parts of north Kosovo.

We have checked in with the believers we know and work with in Serbia and all of them are safe. But they do continue to ask us for our prayers and to ask other believers to pray for them and for their country. They ask us to pray for protection but also to pray for opportunities during this difficult time to share the gospel of Christ.

Curt is still scheduled to go to Serbia in a couple of weeks and will be near and in Belgrade. Please pray for safety for him and that he will accomplish the work he needs to do.

A BIG praise that we have from Serbia is that the picture Bible translation project that Curt has worked on for months with a Serbian publisher and a very generous family from our home church is COMPLETED! We told you about this project in an earlier blog back in the fall. There have been many obstacles to the completion of this important project but God graciously allowed it to be finished. Please pray for this picture Bible to be used for eternal good and that many would come to know Christ through reading the pages of this precious book.
