Dear friends,
I hope that you'll find the time to read about what's happening now in our ministry and work for the Lord. Last month was a special time because we had guests [from Sarajevo, Bosnia]. These missionaries really encouraged us. We went visiting in different places around Kucura, Vojvodina and some people got saved.

We also delivered humanitarian aid from members of the Evangelical Church in Novi Sad who had collected clothes. The Roma people in Selenci village were really excited to receive this urgently needed gift. They were so happy to know that someone remembered and cared for them. We are really thankful to the pastor and members of this church.

Another humanitarian organization also provided clothes for all the places where we are working with the Roma. God's Spirit is working in our Roma school project: children are actively involved in the lessons, showing real interest, and regularly coming to the class. Our teacher is not a believer but he finally started to teach the children scripture verses. The Lord is meeting with him.

The teacher asked me to share a request with you about a project that we have in mind. We would like to take our Roma children on a one-day camp in July. We need 200 Euro for transportation, food, and other expense. Please pray about it.

Another essential need we have is for a car. We had a lot of problems with the last car and I can't drive it any more. Because of our location, this prevents us from going regularly to the home groups which are all over the place. There are not good bus connections and the distances are so far. We have started to collect money for another car; please pray for that.

In my home village, we started to rent a house for schooling our Roma kids and holding church meetings. We have to pay 25 Euro per month. The Lord put on my wife Daniela's heart that this house will be a HOME OF PRAYER, so in faith she asked the owner what the price would be to buy it: 9000 Euro. The house has enough space to be our Roma Center. It has a bathroom and other facilities on the first floor and is located close to the center. Please join us in prayer to buy this ROMA CENTER.

We are really thankful for your prayers.

Warm greetings,
Aleksander and Daniela Subotin
