Hello all,
My team has safely made it to our new contact here in Zrenjanin, Serbia. We are so grateful to have been offered this contact site. The church community is so loving and embraced us the minute we got here. Right when we stepped out of the taxi we went to our first Serbian church service (thankfully translated by our new friend Ljuba). The pastor spoke about community… IRONIC I thought because this is the most intense time of community I have ever experienced. Doing life with five other woman, sometimes more when the squad and teams are together. He breathed a little bit of life into us about how community is only successful when all parts are invested.
Here a few pictures of what has been going on here and where we are staying.

construction on the new children's area of the church (he is building the bottom of the boat so it feels the kids are under the water) SO COOL!
This month for me so far has been a bit of time to soul search, finding discipline within myself and owning my relationship with God. I have been continuing to learn what it means to be a servant leader and how to live in a healthy community.
My internet is limited at times but I will work on posting more later this week.
God bless & Love from Serbia!
