Bosnia - Day 3

 Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the work you're doing in everyone on the team. Please bless the središte nade and open the hearts of those they serve to salvation. Help us to be a huge help to them. Please open our hearts and help us to learn from these people. If you are burdening my heart for Bosnia, make it clear when I leave this place. Help my heart to be sensitive to your voice. amen.

Today is Sunday. We had cereal for breakfast, which I quite enjoyed (I love cereal). We then took the morning walk by the river down to the center. We then went through a full orientation on Bosnian culture, history, and couth. It is truly incredible how much pain this single people has endured, and it breaks my heart that we cannot simply share the wholeness found in Christ. (Open air evangelism is illegal in Bosnia). We then began preparation for the health fair we would present at a village school. We also did some preparation for teaching english. Part of our agenda while in Bosnia was to go into schools, teaching english primarily and also conducting a fair with lessons about oral health, eating right, and the dangers of smoking. The center holds a church service in the afternoon, complete with Bosnian hymns. I finally knew the letter pronunciations, so I loved singing along, despite my lack of understanding the words. The sermon was preached on John 9. Three Bosnian believers came to church, and it was so nice to see them enjoying themselves. The sermon was preached in english, and then translated into Bosnian, I loved hearing the word in their language.
