THERE WERE A LOT OF NEW FACES our second Sunday in our new location. It was wonderful walking into a warm building; some even mentioned that it was too warm - a problem we have never experienced during winter time before! It was the third Sunday of December, the day our band Bez Kompromisa was putting on an evangelistic concert. We had many new people come and the building was practically full! The music was alive and people were on their feet clapping and even dancing. Two of the band members shared their testimonies of how God saved them, bringing the audience to tears at times with the touching message of God's ability to heal marriages and change a person from the inside out. Each visitor that evening received a copy of the book "Jesus our Destiny", written by the German preacher Wilhelm Busch - a book that has been translated into many different languages and has brought many lost souls into the kingdom. The weekend before Bez Kompromisa also played on the Main Square in Zagreb and members of our congregation handed out translated copies of the Chick Tract "Humbug". Please join with us in praying for each person who visited that night, and who also heard the gospel message that was shared on Main Square, that God would keep reminding them of the Good News they heard and draw their hearts to Him.

AS YOU READ ABOVE, we have finally moved into our new building. There seems to be a new atmosphere and an overall sense of anticipation each week as people come. The auditorium has been acoustics so the worship sounds better and more full, the people sing more and worship seems to have risen to a new level. The children's facilities are wonderful! The younger children have a very large room, which is just what they need. There is room for mothers with babies up to two years old and room for our older children, who are learning about the Bible and are receiving school credits for what they learn. There is a coffee-bar area for fellowship before and after the service, heating and air conditioning throughout, and adequate parking. We are so thankful to the Lord for providing us such a wonderful place to meet and worship and we thank you for partnering with us in prayer.

THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER welcomed Parliament's new ruling party. Croatia has been longing for a new political party and new politicians for quite some time, after having felt the burden of those who live in a world far removed from that of average people, preventing them from being able to relate to the economic pressures and difficulties faced by most Croatians. We pray that God will give us grace and favor as Croatian Christian Coalition works together with members of Parliament in bringing change to Croatia, and that He will begin drawing their hearts to Him. We pray that God will bring revival, and what better place to start than with those who make and uphold the laws and Constitution! Please continue agreeing with us in prayer for our nation.
I PRAY THAT YOU HAD A BLESSED CHRISTMAS and we pray that you will have an even more blessed New Year. May God's fellow laborers bring in a plentiful harvest in 2012 and may He give is strength and grace as we labor for Him.
IN HIM,
Mario Ducic
