February has been a short month but pretty eventful.

The first activity of this month was the visit we made to a church in the capital of Serbia. We have a good relationship and help each other as churches. They invited us to an evangelistic event. My daughters made a good impression when they sang for His glory. God gave them this gift and we pray that they'll be able to have their own music CD.

Considering that there are not many young people in our church, we decided that they should meet together with the youth from the church in the capital. So they meet here in Kovin and the the following week at their church. We do our best to offer them an alternative to what the world offers. After the worship and message time, we would like to go out in the open with them.

When we last had a baptism service, a young man, Andrija, was baptized. His desire to study God's Word made him determined to make the decision to go to a Bible Seminary. I have already talked to some teachers at the Seminary in Oradea, Romania. Along with his parents, we are going to make a visit there. It's a great joy to see another warrior getting ready for this battle of faith.

Pastor Ivita from the church in Pancevo and I came to an agreement for mutual visits. Together with our praise and worship team,  I'll go to his church and preach once a month. They'll do the same in our church. I think these visits will bring a fresh breeze in our churches.

Even though we're only a few people, we started a church choir. It's not easy but we sang in front of the church for Christmas (even though I am older, I sing with them to help them at least at the beginning). My son Sasa, 12 years old, sings in the choir as well. He also learns Bible verses from the gospel of John by heart and shares them in the church. They are all happy to be able to do something for the Lord. I decided to reward their efforts by going on a trip to Radimna and Pojejena. They have to get their passports.

Some teachers from the seminary in Oradea, Romania, visited us last Saturday. They spoke about the Kingdom of God. They're always welcome here because they bring spiritual food and we thank God for the opportunity.

On the fourth Sunday of February, we were visited by people from Emanuel Church in Timisoara. We had an evangelistic service in which they had a good sermon and songs. Their singing touched the people's hearts. At the end of the service, they were asked to sing again, so our service lasted longer. I am happy when I see they want to spend time with one another after the church services.
