On May 13, we received an email letter from Snezana Lepki, a young Bosnian woman who immigrated to Canada eleven years ago. Now, Snezana wants to form a summer mission team and share the Good News with people in her homeland.
Snezana says, “Soon after my immigration, I became a Christian, and since then I have been praying for opportunities to spread the Good News to my family, friends, and the lost in Bosnia. So far, I have not found any Christians there, and I haven’t come across any work that is being planned there.
“Last summer, while I was helping the church in Lithuania, I came across some World English Institute booklets. So I took some of them with me when I went to Bosnia and started going over them with my Mom. Since that time, she has read the first three booklets three times each. I am praying that her heart will continue to soften.”
“I am hoping and praying that you might be able to help me get a team together to go to Bosnia and establish a congregation in my city of Banjaluka. As a female, I am uncomfortable in leading this process, but I would love to be a support to the best of my ability.”
It seems that God is using Snezana as a key to unlock the door to Bosnia. Who will join forces with Snezana and walk through the door?
Three kinds of Christians are needed in order to establish the church in Bosnia. First, someone needs to step up and say, “I will lead this summer mission effort.” Second, a team of teachers needs to go and stay for at least a month. Third, someone needs to go and stay for a few years and nurture the new church until it reaches maturity. Are you a retired preacher, elder, college Bible teacher, or church leader? Here is your chance to extend your usefulness in God’s kingdom. .
Let’s help this young Christian woman plant a church in Bosnia. To contact Snezana directly, email her at psalm119_9to16@hotmail.com or telephone her at (780) 437-6627. Her mailing address is 11831-135 Street, Edmonton, AB, T5L 1W7, Canada.
