Been there?

Have you ever been to Bosnia? If not then I can only recommend it for you. It is a beautiful land of beautiful people. I had the opportunity to experience it between 1st and 12th November with a special mission team.

We went there to encourage local believers and help them out with whatever was on there heart. We visited 2 major cities - Sarajevo and Bihać. Prayed together with the people, introduced them the excellently working puppet ministry from Hungary. Imagine this: there is a Hungarian organization which writes puppet pieces for Christmas and Easter mainly but for other occasions too, with the idea that churches can learn them and play them in local schools and kindergartens. And it works really well - in Hungary. Now, there are many Hungarians living outside of the borders, but real close - Romania, Serbia, Slovakia. There is a Hungarian speaking church in Serbia, which got the vision to take these puppet pieaces to their country. And they translated them to Serbian. Now the whole ex-Yugoslavian region is available for them to do the ministry, because of the very similar language! So they came with us to Bosnia - they don't even need passport for that - and presented some pieces there, in front of some sixty people from the street.
More than that we had very special time in Bihać, where we visited a village which suffered greatly during the Balkan war. There are basically no houses where they didn't kill somebody. In 1992. June the Serbian army killed 600 men, 200 from that village and threw the bodies into a pit (Jama Bezdan - Pit of No Dawn). We prayed for this village, distributed literature and got the opportunity to take the puppet show in 3 schools. Oh, the village and the schools are 100% muslim. It was very moving time! How great is our God! Praise His name forever!
