Greg & Jelena Sivulka
| Greg and Jelena Sivulka attended the Novi Sad Christian Fellowship in Serbia until they felt called by God to plant a new church in the town of Temerin. They moved to Temerin, where with hard work and prayer, the church grew from nothing to about 50 believers! They decided to pass this church over for another pastor to lead, and began to pray about where to go next. They moved to Sombor with their children, Benjamin (9), Sara (4) and Hana (3 months), and invited a couple for dinner where they formed a friendship and eventually told them about Jesus. Maca, the wife, became the first believer and she gave Greg and Jelena a list of friends who would welcome a visit and help in the form of a food parcel. People began to turn to Christ and met in Greg and Jelena's small living room for Bible Study. As the church grew, their mother church in Novi Sad provided funds to buy a building for their meetings. Today, there are about 30 adults and 20 children who regularly attend church meetings. Because of the growing need and the continual outreach to members of the community, Maca has now been employed as a full-time co-worker. How You Can Help - $350 will pay for a week's Summer Bible School event for 40 children. - $2,500 will convert a room into a coffee shop / youth centre to double as a counselling room during the week. - $12,500 will buy a minivan to transport people to and from the church meetings and for distributing aid. - $42,000 will pay for much needed renovations to the church building. |
