End-of-year note 📌

As we’ve been working this year to translate and prepare materials in Serbian, Russian, Portuguese, and Spanish, we received an end-of-year notification from Canva showing that our account was in the top 5% of Canva users who use translation tools.

This doesn’t say anything about talent—only that there has been steady, consistent work behind the scenes: creating, editing, and translating materials so content can be shared clearly across languages.

Thank you for the ability to help Christ shine across seas and languages.
We’re grateful for the tools, opportunities, and strength God has given us to serve beyond borders. Please continue to pray that everything produced would be used wisely and reach the people it’s meant for. 🙏

End of Year Updates. God bless!! https://mailchi.mp/52ee411247b4/prayer-letter-10358523

📖 New Blog Post: The Cry of the Blood

What happens when the world no longer shakes us?

Written over a century ago, Amy Carmichael’s The Cry of the Blood offers a haunting vision of blind humanity walking toward destruction—and the quiet tragedy of those who turn away, unmoved. In an age of constant noise, violence, and distraction, her words feel painfully current.

This post is not easy reading.
But it is necessary.

It is a call to awaken holy sensitivity, to remember the weight of souls, and to ask God to soften what has grown numb within us.

📢 Update from Serbia

Tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM (Serbian time), we are scheduled to have two baptisms.

Both individuals have completed our six-week church member classes and have personally decided to take this step of obedience.

If you’d like to see what a baptism looks like here in Serbia—in the river, and likely in the rain 😄—this is your chance to join us live.

📺 The livestream will be on our second channel:
👉 https://t.me/balkanskibaptista

We will also be recording it and will try to post it later.

⏰ Note: There is a time change tonight, so please keep that in mind—10:00 AM Serbian time.

God bless you all. Stay encouraged—God is still working. 🙏

Made it!
