Tonight is our final night of classes. The numbers have been growing little by little and we are trying to accommodate everyone as best we can.
Friday evening, July 4
Tonight, the artists will be giving their testimonies and explaining why they came, so please pray for the reception of their words. Everyone seems to understand that we are doing the classes in the Baptist church, so we are praying that the testimonies will be a natural outflow of the gift of the classes.
The television studio came two nights ago and filmed Leah and Joanna teaching their classes, as well as a lengthy interview with Joanna and some of the students. The interviewer has returned to actually take one of the classes and he took a full sack of books to read from the free literature that the church has available.

Many of the kids in the kids’ program took free books last night as their program ended. The children completed a weaving of their town with mountains, sheep, flowers, houses, clouds and the sun. I’ve sent a few pictures so you can see it.

It has been a challenging week and we are all trying to stay rested for tonight. Please continue to pray for our endurance and the final night. We have to completely clean up and put everything back where it was before we came, since there is a church service tomorrow morning as usual. Pray for our safety traveling back to Belgrade and for the rest of the team as they return to the States. Chip and I are staying until Saturday, the 12th as there are many conversations that still need to be had as well as a few days of rest! We will be home in a week! See you all soon.
Love,
Julie for all here in the Bor-Zajecar area of Eastern Serbia
