Kosovo

Brian and I have spent the day in Kosovo. We got to see some areas that are still bombed out. While we were walking around the bombed out house I said to Brian I hope there aren't any land mines around here. From there we went to a little village called Novosell which means New Village and Interviewed Kadir. He was such a happy man who was a Muslim but embraced Christ a while back. His family has shut him out because of his new faith. He lives in the middle of his family home area and they refuse to help him. His wife is 1 week over due with their second child. CAMA services helped to build or I should say finish the house. They slept in one room where the roof leaked and water seeped in from the floor daily. Now they have a bathroom and a dry living area. Their stove to cook is still outside but the joy in their eyes was amazing. He felt so honored to be interviewed by americans. His family actually flew an American Flag. Being Muslim in this area is more cultural than religious. We spent the rest of the day in Gjilan, Kosovo at the Resurection Center. It is an area that serves the communities needs. They have an Occupational Therapist, book store and more. They share the message of Christ but basically try to meet needs of the area. In doing so they show Christ love. We are spending the night at the Pastors house here in Gjilan and tomorrow head to Pristian(??? spelling till I get there) where we will interview more locals from the Boom Churh then back to Skopje. The UN check point was easy to get through today, Hopefully the same on the way back tomrrow.
