Believing and Belonging

In December, an ECM church plant in Dugo Selo, Croatia, applied to become part of the Croatian Baptist Union. Their application was recently approved, and the church is officially the newest church in the denomination!
Since May, the group of about 25 adults and 10 children have been meeting every Sunday morning. This summer, they had a church picnic with nearly 50 attendees-mostly friends and family of the church members. For the church leaders, it was a blessing to see this growth from a humble home group to a thriving church family with a leadership team and worship team.
“I am so grateful to God that people want not just to believe, but to belong,” Kostya Bokanov said.
A small group has also been meeting together every Tuesday evening for the last seven years in Vrbovec. This summer, two new families have joined that gathering as well.
Let us pray for the work in this area of Croatia. May many new people hear the good news and know that they too are invited to belong to the family of God. Thank God for the families who are committed to each other, this community and the Gospel!
