| Croatian Evangelistic Outreach Zagreb, Croatia NEWSLETTER - Sept., 2008 Dear Friends and Family, The year was 1976. The crowds were gathered at the track and field event in Spokane, WA for the Special Olympics in which athletes with various disabilities would participate. The gun went off. The contestants took off for the race as the crowds cheered, when all of a sudden one young man stumbled on the asphalt and fell. To the amazement of those present a couple of the contestants stopped and went back to help the fallen young man to his feet and together the three ran the rest of the distance and crossed the finish line together. While the Special Olympics is considered a serious event and while the contestants train with discipline all throughout the year in hopes of winning the coveted gold medal, these two contestants became an example for all of something more important than a gold medal – teamwork, unity, and outstanding love! They were willing to sacrifice their dream of wearing that golden medallion around their neck in order to help and support a fellow sportsman who had fallen. The elements of teamwork, unity, and outstanding love are vital to the function of any entity and are most important for the body of Christ in carrying out Christ’s commission. Each part of Christ’s body is vital for the overall function and health of the body. If one part is cast aside the body becomes lame and incapable of doing what needs to be done. However, when the body of Christ realizes the importance of each part vital role it plays, whether seen or unseen, then we become a mighty unified force that cannot be stopped. “One Body, Many Parts”, the latest sermon in my CEO Pulpit Series, teaches that proper unity and godly love are essential to the body of Christ in carrying out the task God has given us to do until He returns. I pray that as you read this message that your eyes will be open to not only see your function in Christ’s body but how that function will help your congregation do more for God’s Kingdom than ever before! As always, feel free to distribute this message to your family and friends.

| From Viktor Sabo, Pastor in North Serbia Pray For SERBIA -One big need is: the young generation. Among 8,3 million people inhabitants of Serbia half million is addicted to drugs, mostly young people. Many more to alcohol. We have three rehab Christian centers in the land they can receive all together only up to 90 people. We are launching a six weeks prayer chain for this big need. We are praying for the churches that God would be able to bring about a revival. Please pray with us. -Pray for our pastors, the spiritual pressure is very big. Three of my close friends who are leading good works has come to a burnout situation. They are on a sabbatical but it seems that they will drop out from the ministry. Thanks for standing with us. This is a crucial time for our nation. Viktor |
