  1. One mission organization is celebrating the fact that after 10 years of mostly short-term workers, they are finally able to put together a long-term multi-ethnic team who will share God's love with Bosnians. Please pray for this new team to experience unity in the midst of cultural diversity and fruitfulness in ministry.
  2. Pray for the unreached in that a very small percentage of the population has ever been clearly presented with the claims of Christ and the need for personal repentance and faith.
  3. The timely writing and publication of a book celebrating the life of Adeline Paulina Irby (a British woman who moved to Sarajevo) will hopefully coincide with the 100th anniversary of her death next year. She is a beloved figure who started the first girl's school and, during the 1870s civil war, saved at least 50,000 by raising money from England for food. clothing, shelter and education. Pray God uses the message of this book and the anniversary media discussions to open doors for the gospel.
  4. Please pray the political leaders of Bosnia & Heregovina: President Haris Silajdzic and Prime Minister Nikola Spiric
