From December 27, 2015 to January 3, 2016 we had a Winter Fellowship Week in Zagreb, Croatia. It was an event to bring the children of God together through different activities. It's the second event like this that we've had and God blessed both of the events amazingly.
The church in Zagreb is a little more than 50 disciples and more than 30 disciples from different countries came to join us. It's great to see people from different nationalities and races come together and to feel the love of God among them.
Brothers from Zagreb shared how there were a lot of talks and sharing with strangers simply because people were interested in how such a diverse group came together. Disciples went hiking together, read the Bible, prayed and invited people to church together; they went to the orphanage, to the cinema, played sports together, celebrated New Year's Eve together and worshipped God together.
The most amazing thing was to experience how our heavenly Father blessed us amazingly. That was visible through the love the disciples shared, their openness, godly behavior, fun, and the atmosphere and success of all the activities. A sister read during the worship time the verse, "One day in your courts is better than a thousand others," Psalm 84:10. I've felt like that - that one day of that fellowship was better than all the other days in a year.
I wish to thank all the brothers and sisters who came to Zagreb for the winter fellowship event, and all the brothers and sisters in Zagreb for their serving and love. I wish to thank our heavenly Father for all the blessings he bestowed on us concerning the event, and even more, for enabling all of us to be a part of his amazing divine family!
