Backa Topola, Serbia; Dec 2009



This was my last and perhaps best weekend outreach trip of my two years of bible college/internship; we are required to take at least one of these trip per semester along with a 10-day-outreach. The ministry in Backa Topola is headed up by Pr. Tiawo who is from Nigeria. He married a Serbian gal, and has been serving in Northern Serbia for quite a while; they were very hospitable hosts. Our team got along great with each other and the church, who seemed to have been on their own mission to make us gain weight through excessively feeding us delicious authentic Serbian meals; they were very successful! Viva Serbia!

We were able to serve and encourage the young adults, youth & children's ministry during our stay. We also met many of the city's youth, by playing music in the city centre, which lead us into some great conversation in regards to why we were in there. It was amazing to witness how many Serbian kids actually speak proper English. Kids were very open to talk and were surprisingly friendly with us and intrigued by our team.
