~The Hajduk Manifesto - March 2012 / Croatia




The Hajduk Manifesto

We have moved into Zagreb, the capitol of Croatia; population close to 800,000. There has never been an UPCI church here. Most of the people we talked to have not heard the word "Pentecost" and our landlord is convinced it has something to do with a pentagram. 

Have you ever read a book by a pioneering missionary? You will find that the path leading to every revival is a bitter one. Not even a week into our settling in Zagreb, Radovan had attacks on his health, from drastic loss of breath to the discovery of a lump on his thyroid and water around his heart. We rejoice in victory over all of these and are thankful that the lump is benign!

MAKING PLANS

We have been getting to know Zagreb, feeling things out and becoming familiar with the city's pulse. We'll also be keeping our eye out for a small place to rent for meetings! We've settle into a peaceful neighborhood. Thanks for your prayers.

WRITING HISTORY

The first ever, UPCI church building Pastored by Bro. Andy Mamojka was dedicated in Ilok, N/E Croatia. With over fifty in attendance, we were ministered to by Missionary George Craft. He has been instrumental in completion of this church building along with Missionary Roger Buckland and my father-in-law Missionary Sam Balca. 
This church and it's pastor have lived through the destruction of the Yugoslavian Civil war, but are now having a fresh new start, in Jesus name! 

We have several contacts in other towns that we will be visiting and praying with and look forward to setting up regular meetings.

Continue to pray with us for open doors and opportunities to shine His light. You mean the world to us!
