MOVING FORWARD>

Two weeks ago we hosted a weekend conference with a wonderful brother in the Lord, Jeffery Whiston. The theme of the conference was "Understanding the Supernatural". In Europe, people are skeptical about the supernatural and many don't understand the workings of the Holy Spirit or how to grow their faith. In places such as Africa or India, where faith is all that many people have, it seems like the supernatural is closer and more tangible. However, in Europe, people prefer to use logic, and do everything themselves; the supernatural and Holy Spirit are often neglected.

This conference was an amazing encouragement to our people. Many rededicated their lives to Christ, and several were baptized in the Holy Spirit. Some came to Christ for the first time and have continued attending ever since.



Please, continue to pray for our congregation. We are working hard to move forward in this direction, to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit and faith, and to expect God to do incredible things in our community and continually pour out a fresh fire of his Holy Spirit.

YOUTH CONFERENCE-FONIRAJ ME>

As we mentioned last month, in two weeks we are hosting our annual youth conference, Foniraj me (Phone me). Our keynote speakers, Rebeca Batista Castro (Director of Foursquare Youth in Portugal) and Ivan Spoljaric (Youth leader in Rijeka) will be teaching on "The Reality of the Spiritual World". If young people ever needed to learn their identity in Christ and realize how much the enemy is trying to deter them with all kinds of distractions, that time is now! We are hoping to see a record turnout this year and for God to light up the lives of our young people with the fire of his Holy Spirit. Please, be standing in prayer with us for this conference.



Projects such as these can become costly so if this is something you would like to invest in, $2,500 is what we need to put on the conference and sponsor those who can not afford registration.

PRAISE REPORTS>

• We have new converts to work with.
• We had several baptized in the Holy Spirit.
• Our youth band, BezIzlike continues to grow and develop into an amazing and anointed worship band.

CHURCH DEDICATION IN BOSNIA>

In previous updates, we've mentioned Dario and Silvija Kapin's church in Zenice, Bosnia. We rejoice to announce that they have purchased and renovated their sanctuary and next weekend we will be traveling down to Zenice to speak at and celebrate the dedication of their new facility! We are so excited to see what God is doing in Zenice. Please continue to hold up Pastor Dario, his wife Sylvia, their daughters, and their church in your prayers. Bosnia is very hard ground and they need a continual fresh outpouring of the presence of God to keep them encouraged and moving forward.

OUR FAMILY>



...is doing well. We spent a few days driving Filip up to Warsaw and settling him into the student dorm there. He is enjoying the new challenges of the University. Luka enrolled at Vern University in Zagreb for Cyber Communications and is having so much fun with his studies. Divna and Vjera are also doing well in their high school studies.

Thank you for your faithful prayers on our behalf and your support of our family and ministry. We pray that you are blessed and that God pours out a fresh fire and anointing of his Holy Spirit on each one of us!

Blessings,

Mario & Bonnie
