They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. - Revelation 12:11

Several testimonies have been shared in our congregation over the past few months and we'd like to share some of those with you.

Jakov struggled terribly with anger and bitterness, which were destroying him and affecting all of the close relationships in his life. He tried to control his anger, but it was out of control. He tried to forgive, but he just couldn't! At winter camp, he attended the anger workshop; as a result, he began working on his relationship with God and communicating with the leaders about his issues. On the last day, as he was being prayed over, the Holy Spirit's presence came over him so strongly that he was unable to stand. He fell to his knees and spent half an hour or more weeping as God cleansed his heart of all of the anger and bitterness. The transformation in his life was immediately apparent. His parents and family testified to a complete transformation in his behavior, and he began developing friendships with people he had previously hated. He was baptized in water last month and continues to study the Word of God and grow in the Lord.

Savik struggled with fears, anxiety, and insecurity. He is often bullied at school for being different, and he didn't know how to deal with his fears and the emotions that bound him up. He also attended a workshop at winter camp on how to conquer fear, which helped him develop certain tools to locate the root of his fears and conquer them. His parents and people around him also testified to a transformation in his life, to a certain maturity and self-confidence that he did not have before. He also decided to be baptized in water last month. It was a very special and proud day for him.

Marina loves sharing her personal faith and walk with the Lord with anyone open to receive. A few weeks ago, she shared with our church how, as she was preparing for a doctor's appointment, she felt prompted to gift the doctor a Bible even though she knew that the doctor did not believe in God at all. She began arguing with herself over this decision because it is an unusual thing to do, and the doctor might see it as an attempt at proselytizing, but in the end, she took a new Bible with her to the appointment because she felt so strongly that the Lord was directing her to do so. At the end of her appointment, she sheepishly took the new Bible out of her purse and gave it to the doctor, who promptly began thanking her. What Marina did not know was that the doctor had decided to begin reading the Bible and began doing so online until she'd gotten around to purchasing one!

Remember, no matter how illogical things may seem to us, we should follow the leading and prompting of the Holy Spirit, who knows the inner hearts of man and guides us in His time.

We want to thank you all for giving and supporting our ministry both financially and prayer-wise. Since the Croatian Kuna was replaced with the Euro two years ago, prices have skyrocketed, but wages have remained the same. The economic situation in Croatia is challenging right now for everyone for this reason we are praying for God to expand our monthly support. Would you please stand in prayer with us for this? Having 3 in college is a financial challenge, but God always provides. We appreciate you all and are so grateful for your partnership with us.

Blessings,

Mario & Bonnie Ducic
