In our church, things usually go either very well or very bad. There are times when many people come to church, we have baptism services, evangelistic events and people in general are interested in helping with the ministry. But, there are also times when, out of the blue, people grow cold and lose their interest. We dealt with such a time not long ago. But things have started to get better lately as people have come back and shown interest in the ministry. We used to have Sunday services in the afternoon but now we'll have them in the morning. The Bible study on Fridays is going well even though there are not many people coming. Those that do come are pretty faithful.

God helped us to plaster the front outside wall of the church. We still need to paint it as soon as we have the money. We found someone who makes advertisement boards and signs who will make us a sign with the name and the schedule of our church. It's not very expensive. We already have some debts from the electric system and the plastering of the a guest room at our church. We are going to paint the walls of this room and put in the floor. In God's time, we'll do that as soon as we have the money.

My wife and I started to work with the Gypsy people from the neighboring village. We have ten folding chairs and an old keyboard. There are several women and also a family that are in charge of the prayer meeting and Bible study on Saturday afternoon. Once a month, we bring this family and their children to our church so that they can receive the Lord's supper. Please pray that God will protect us from evil in this ministry.

We are receiving 50,000 tracts this week. We are going to pass them out to every house in Smderevo. Lord willing, we'll have a mission there. My children and the Christians from Smedeerevo will help me with the tracts.

We are going to pick the grapes from our small vineyard. We want to make grape juice so that we can have it for the Lord's supper.
