The meetings went well in Nevesinje, not far from Mostar, seven nights and attendance varied. My relatives were very open about spiritual truths and that pleased me so very much. Over half my relatives in the entire world, and they are stretched out to Melbourne, Australia, live in the area.
The Nevesinje priest called the hotel in Gacko where we were to have meetings for a week, and they had been approved by the hotel for three months, but we got word that they would not allow us to use the hotel hall for religious meetings.
The whole area has been awakened with the distribution of over 40,000 copies of my book in Serbian, "Amazing Prophecies of hope." Hundreds went to their priest or called him about things which they read in the book about end time prophecies, including the Sabbath and second coming, a real Seventh-day Adventist book, a 120 page paperback.
We are hopeful of buying a building and turning it into a clinic with five different specialists coming for a week on a rotating basis giving their time to the people in the area free of charge to improve the people's health. We also plan a chapel of about 70 capacity. I will be sending a request to MFC for assistance for the clinic/chapel Life Center and follow up soul winning. It will be costly and I am hopeful they will match my gift of $200,000 which I am sending today by wire. Unfortunately the dollar is not worth much in Europe. The Euro hit the market at less value than the dollar and yesterday it was $1.67.
While there have been some disappointments it is the first time in history that evangelistic meetings had been held in that part of Bosnia-Herzegovina, an area of over 15,000 square miles.
Please remember that area in your personal devotions.
