Last Stop: Belgrade

Hello!

we have now arrived in Belgrade after a hot night train from Budapest. We are quite tired but looking forward to our time in the city building with prayer and however else God wants to use us.

We were met by some of the belgrade team (www.20six.co.uk/belgrade) and are going to spend time with them today chilling, praying, singing, sharing stories - basically having a laugh. Tonight we will go to see Partizan Belgrade in a Champions League qualifier which is exciting.

Its been really exciting to hear of the work the team here have been doing and seeing how the Belgrade teams have been building over the last 3/4 years. We will see the team off in the early hours of tomorrow morning and have the baton passed on to us. Even though we are only here for a few days i feel we can have some really signicant building. Not sure whether it will be mainly praying, sowing into relationships or social action i think we have an important role here.

The main worry i think is that because we are so close to the end, it is the final straight, that our minds and hearts will be back at home with the troubles or good things that are going on back there. I really hope we can really engage with the city. We will have a day off tomorrow to spend in the city and the team will be able to feel the vibes of the city.

Thanks for support and prayers

You guys enjoy your day relaxing! Then, as you know, God has been doing great things these last few days ... and has plans for you no doubt! Listen to Him, and go for it with all your confidence in Jesus, his love for you each, and his love for Belgrade and its people who are so hungry for the life he has to give.
