Busy Bees!

Hey everyone! So we have been super super busy and haven't really had time to write another post lately. We have accomplished so much here and God is seriously working not only in Prokuplje but also in Dobovo and Zitni Potok!
Wednesday was our last day to have children's bible school in Dubovo. Caitlin told the story of Enoch and Noah's ark, and she did a great job! Slavica says the children enjoyed this so much that they wear their name tags all day long and walk around Dubovo singing the songs we taught them! Also, the last time there was any children's ministry in Dubovo, sixteen children accepted Christ in their hearts! Sasa has done so much in Dubovo that it's just so evident that God is using him and his family. The president of the gypsy community in Dubovo likes what happened at children's bible school that he ha offered a building in the center of the town to be used as a church. This is really awesome because Sasa does not have a good place to have church. He has been using the cellar under his house that is probably 10x10 ft and the ceiling is very low. People will not come because this room is not comfortable. But, he needs our help! The building that is being offered is not finished and it will cost $3,000 to finish it. So keep this in your prayers, and if you feel led by God to give, by all means do so! I know that his church would grow exponentially if they had this building!
Thursday had our daily prayer meeting at the church. Then we prepared for the children's bible school in Zitni Potok all day, and then we had church at 7:00. We came back to Marijan's again to finish preparations (keep their church in your prayers as they continue to do an amazing work for the Kingdom!)
Today we woke up very early and met at the church for prayer at 7:30. Then we picked up some supplies we needed for the bible school and headed to Zitni Potok. It's a long and hard drive by the way! The roads are so small and twist and turn through the mountains. The view is magnificent by the way! We made it there and set up while others went out to invite people. We were blown away by how many people came!! We had close to sixty children and almost 20 adults (mostly the children's parents). We are so so excited about this! It went very well and we could just see the excitement on the children's faces!! It is so so exciting to be working here!
A lot of allergies and sickness have been going around between us and Marijan's and Slavica. Pray for our rest and energy! Today we had a long and very much needed afternoon of rest!
Again, thank you for everything you all have done for us and have prayed for us! -Beth
