1 41st Annual PEF Family Evangelism Conference-Milligan College, Elizabethton, TN July 13th -18th go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you... Matt. 28: PEF International Team Member - Rev. Paddy Cook October 2008 Croatia & Serbia It was a fascinating experience being with President & Mrs. Joey Pipa in Croatia and Serbia. Dr. Pipa delivered a weeks lectures from his book, The Westminster Confession of Faith Study Book, A Study Guide for Churches. Dr. Pipa s book was translated into Croatian for the lectures. That project was overseen by Dr. Jasmin. Dr. P. preached 3 times in the historic church of Tordinci Croatia, which included the Synod Ordination Service, where Pastor Nenard and Pastor Jadran were ordained, he also traveled to and preached in Belgrade, Serbia. Dr. Pipa talking with Dr. Jasmin. There is an immediate need to offer & expand theological education in the area. A recently converted lawyer from Tenja, Croatia talking to Dr. Pipa, and Dr. Jasmin s wife, Tamara.

Left to right: Pastor Nenad, Pastor Jadran, Dr. Jasmin, Dr. Pipa, Darko and Jasmin K. You may not believe this, but the dead fly pictured right, was buzzing around Dr. P s head so much, that I prayed that it would drop by me, so I could have dominion. See one dead Croatian fly! Paddy Dr. Jasmin and fruit of his ministry Croatia Special Lectures. by Dr. Joey Piper, the President of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Dr. Pipa did a great job, and generated questions and discussion.

3 41st Annual PEF Family Evangelism Conference-Milligan College, Elizabethton, TN July 13th -18th PEF Evangelist Paddy Cook Moderator Dr. Jasmin Milic, Pastor of Tordinci and Tenja, Croatia President of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary Dr. Joey Pipa Ordinans: Pastor Nenad, in Tordinci Pastor Jadran, Sibenik, Dalmatia God is busy growing His church and saving souls and answering prayers, calling young men in Europe into the Gospel Ministry. Praise God that not even the gates of hell will prevail against His Church and His purpose.

4 41st Annual PEF Family Evangelism Conference-Milligan College, Elizabethton, TN July 13th -18th Newly ordained pastor Nenad Tordinci, Croatia. Newly ordained pastor Jadran, from Sibenik on the Dalmatian coast. Jadran & Dr. Jasmin in Sibenik, Dalmatia. A new church rescuing drug addicts. Psalm 107:28 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and he brought them out of their distress.

5 41st Annual PEF Family Evangelism Conference-Milligan College, Elizabethton, TN July 13th -18th PRAY FOR JASMIN in Zagreb, Croatia. Jasmin is a dear brother in a lonely role of pastor in training. He has no immediate family, parents or brothers and sisters. His passion is to be used by God to serve his fellow believers and to be equipped as a minister of the gospel. Pray much for our dear brother Jasmin! An instant friendship developed with Jasmin K. in Zagreb. We witnessed around Zagreb. Here in a Sports Bar with a long, lively and respectful conversation, which ended between us and a retired University Prof. of Psychology You keep saying my God is different. Who is your God? I don t know? Now that is a problem!

6 41st Annual PEF Family Evangelism Conference-Milligan College, Elizabethton, TN July 13th -18th The grandeur of Zagreb and the challenge that Jasmin K. has in pastoring a new work, working and being equipped himself to be a pastor, all at once. PRAY FOR JASMIN K!

7 41st Annual PEF Family Evangelism Conference-Milligan College, Elizabethton, TN July 13th -18th Many opportunities for translators and students to be tutored by Dr. Pipa. Pray for our brother Jasmin K. as he works and ministers in Zagreb, Croatia. Pray that God will bless the work of his hands and prepare him for ordination into the Gospel Ministry. Jasmin K. Zagreb. A graduate of Dr. P s Special Lectures. Dr. Pipa challenging his students to think biblically.

8 41st Annual PEF Family Evangelism Conference-Milligan College, Elizabethton, TN July 13th -18th Pastor Peter in Beograd, Serbia meeting Dr. P. before the worship service that Zoran was invited to. A great sermon by Dr. P. Zoran asked to meet with us the next day. See page 9. Sergei and Milica in Beograd, Serbia, are committed to helping Pastor Peter in the newly formed Mission Church in Beograd. Pray, and pray more, that God will establish this young church as a pillar of Truth in this historic region.

9 41st Annual PEF Family Evangelism Conference-Milligan College, Elizabethton, TN July 13th -18th Miroslav & Viera, new Serbian Church members. A relaxing dinner on the Danube. Not the best photograph, but the most focused and fruitful conversation of the trip in my opinion lasting around 120 minutes. These men worked for a company with a web site, available in many Languages. Miroslav Viera Pastor Peter ZORAN ZORAN S Colleague Pray for Zoran, who was drawn among other considerations to the church in Beograd, Serbia with a personal invitation, coinciding with our international preacher Dr. Pipa. He is the Balkan Regional Director of a company with a web site available in many languages. He could sell the ice to Eskimos that they were standing on. When he realized we were not looking for extra work, he displayed a genuine and thoughtful interest in searching after God. As an Orthodox Serbian we had to clearly tell him that in itself, that was not evidence of his salvation and that it was apparent that his eternal destination was hell. The fact that he invited us out for a drink and walked off without paying we would love to think he was deeply troubled in his soul. Zoran, clearly an interesting, multi-gifted gentleman, still needing to find peace with God. A fuzzy pastor Peter in Beograd. On his right, Mrs. & Mr., otherwise known as Miroslav & Viera, new members. On their right an executive of a large International Company. On Peter s left Zoran, the Balkan Regional Director.

10 41st Annual PEF Family Evangelism Conference-Milligan College, Elizabethton, TN July 13th -18th 2009 Pictures record the war damage, to the historic Croatian, Tordinci church. Our God to be feared above all Gods. Creator of Heaven & Earth rebuilding his church. To eat, to breath, to beget. Is this all there is? Chance configuration of atom against atom, of god against god? I cannot believe it! Come, Christian Triune God who lives, Here am I! Shake the world again. Taken from No Little People. by Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer.
