Serbia Trip in Review 2012

On April 13th, Downline sent a team of 10 to teach at an Evangelical Bible College outside of Belgrade, Serbia. The team was composed of 7 men and 3 women, and the trip consisted of 60hrs of Bible and Discipleship training alongside relational ministry with the students. This is one of the only Evangelical training hubs in the entire region, and the school houses students from Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia and Croatia. The time in the classroom exceeded all expectations, but it was the time spent with the students outside of the class that was the most transformative for the Downline team. There is a specific beauty and encouragement found in hearing brothers and sisters praise God in a different tongue, and the love for Christ that the students in Serbia display is guaranteed to stir one’s affections for Christ. The deep relationships formed on this specific trip always make it difficult to leave, and we would ask that you join us to pray for the school (The H.U.B.), the students and for Sladjan Milenkovic who is in charge of operating the school. This was truly a special week and we look forward to returning to Serbia next April.
