Bridges

It has been on our hearts for the past 6 months or so, to be praying about ways to build bridges between the different denominations and ministries here.  There are some great churches and wonderful ministries in Croatia, but it seems more and more apparent that they are often times doing things alone.  They are isolated, and there does not seem to be the unity needed to really change this country.  There are a some good things happening.  There are some pastors who get together and pray for one another.  I see some people helping with ministries that are not “theres.”  Please pray that God will continue to build bridges between these groups and that unity would come to the people here.  Followers of Christ are bound to one another through the love of Jesus.  Sometimes we don’t act like it.  We let small differences come between us; whether they are personal or theological.  We need to be better bridges with eachother, so we can be better bridges to God.  In all we do, we need to be pointing to the Kingdom of God.  We need to be that bridge for people.  So pray for Croatia, that we would continue to pursue the unifying love that God calls us too.  As you pray, consider praying for ways you can be that unifying love in your own communities.
