I thought I would be roughin’ it.
Honestly, this has been anything BUT roughin’ it.
This month, month one, my team and I are extremely blessed.
Our ministry hosts at Fellowship of the Lord’s People are nothing short of
incredible.
I want to let you in specifically on what this ministry is facing. Kosovo is 96%
Muslim- Isis is planning to claim this territory making it 100% muslim in the near
future. That leaves 4% for other religions and Christianity is NOT popular among
that small percentage. Without a doubt, the main goal of the church we are serving
under, is to spread the Gospel across this nation. To give you a little bit of insight,
every member of this church faces criticism everyday for the sake of Jesus.
Criticism not just from the community itself, but also from their loved ones. They
have chosen to choose Jesus everyday even at the sake of losing the love and
respect of their families.
There are several different areas that they are focused on. The church has a
second-hand store that we have been serving in, as well as the warehouses for the
store. The amount of donations they receive is amazing. The store is called Mosaic,
and it provides jobs for several members of the church, and provides the fundings
needed to support the other ministries. Out of the donations, they
have a ministry called Mercy Ministries where each year they take in a large
number of families that are in need. Each week they gather things that each of the
families are in need of and deliver them- clothes, food, supplies- anything. Another
focus is children’s and teens’ ministry. There are several different locations were
weekly meetings take place and we have been blessed to be a part of them!
Though this nation has yet to fully recover since the war in 1999, one thing
remains; God is good, He is present, and seeds have been sown. Pray and believe
with me for a revival in this beautiful place.
