Prayerwalking in Serbia

We posted this on the Pray4Serbia.org website while in Serbia.

We arrived Monday night to prayerwalk in Serbia for 7 days. Satan tried his best to make this trip not happen, so we are expecting great things from it. Our flights kept getting delayed, making our trip last around 34 hours. But prayer and Jesus kept us going.

Our translator wanted to cancel a few times, but said he couldn’t bring himself to do it. So, he is with us and has blessed us so much with his encouragement and his excitement for the Lord. Yesterday we prayerwalked in Belgrade. We met a young lady who was very receptive to what we told her. Our translator knew of a Baptist church in her hometown. He explained where it is, and she took a copy of our testimony (they had been translated into Serbian for us). Pray she will be open to the truth of salvation through Jesus and will find her way to that church.

Last night we traveled to Novi Pazar. The weather hasn’t been cooperating, but we just keep pressing on (Our luggage was lost and should be delivered today, so we will be able to dress warmer).


This morning, prayerwalking in Novi Pazar was interesting. We can tell a difference between this town and Belgrade, but both towns need much prayer. They had a call to Muslim prayer this afternoon while we were prayerwalking. So, we prayed at that time as well. We didn’t see anyone pray at that time and it was a bit of a relief to see that, while they are Muslim, we are not sure they are 100% committed to it. They seem a bit more liberal about it than other Muslims we have had experiences with. This may make it easier to open their hearts to the truth of Jesus.

Overall, so far we have seen that this country is in great need of the truth. They are in bondage to the lies of Satan and need to be set free. They need more Christians to come tell them about the love and salvation of Christ. And, by what our translator has told us, there are many Serbian Christians who need discipleship. Romans 10:14 says, “But how can they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe without hearing about Him? And how can they hear without a preacher?” Serbia needs Christians to come and tell them, so they can hear and believe.
