Dr. Sos continued ministry in Slovenia majorly focuses on training the leaders and pastors for better equipping of the saints for their ministry. The participation was great. The hunger to know and to be better equipped, is a sign of the continuous work of the Holy Spirit on these leaders to be better prepared for the harvest that the Lord already purposed. Dr. Sos was taught a two day seminar on “Weapons mighty in God”.

The Sunday morning service was dedicated to the ordination of Andrey Bojnec to full time ministry as the  pastor of Murska Sobota and Vescica churches. Rev. Bojnec is the fruit of our effort to send young men called of God to be educated and prepared for such ministry. Barbara  also shared in one of the evening services  about our project in the Philippines, sponsored by the “Logos” foundation of Slovenia. We are very grateful to all contributing sponsors.

The church in Croatia is expanding beyond the boarders of Zagreb, (the capital of Croatia) to its neighbouring towns and cities. Rev. Sasa Bocvarov, is the overseer of five churches in the Zagreb area and Rev. Jasmin Avdagic, Superintendent of the movement, is also pastoring several churches on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. Barbara and I, spent two days in Zagreb. On the first day Dr. Sos met with the pastors for a discussion of further teaching topics. The next day  he ministered in the church membership meeting, and  in the evening in the service for all believers. It was very productive  time. We are blessed to see the work of the Lord go ahead and new churches being planted.

Elim church has become the focus of our ministry in the Timish area of Romania. Pastor Mot, senior pastor of this, the largest Pentecostal church in Romania, is determined to provide an evangelistic outreach ministry to their community at least once a year. Preparations were made for three nights of meetings, with emphasis of salvation, healing, and  deliverance ministry. The Lord moved miraculously in this time. Testimonies of healing and deliverance were given even during the ministry time. The power of the Holy Spirit moved mightily on the whole congregation. Saturday morning, Dr. Sos was teaching a seminar for pastors and leaders on the topic “Dry Brook University.”  Sunday night’s service was also very challenging and many responded  the ministry of the Word.

The second Easter weekend began with a number of special  services in Arad and Timisoara. Rev. Dr. Pavel Rivis Tipei,  the President of the Pentecostal Union of Romania, and pastor of this beautiful church “Biserica Penticostala Betania”  invited Dr. Sos and Barbara to minister in the Sunday morning service.  For Romanians these are  very important two weeks on the calender, reminding believers of the Lords suffering on the cross and His resurrection on Easter day. The Lord blessed our ministry in a special way.

This years ministry in Romania is dedicated to “Spiritual Transformation” and equipping the leaders in the area of pastoral effectiveness. Dr. Sos and Barbara travelled to  Giarmata,  for an evening service. The ministry to this congregation is always uplifting. The response to the message was great. We thank the Lord for the release of his anointing and blessing during our ministry.

Dr. Sos taught a  one day seminar in the North of Spain in the city of Vitoria. It was a gathering of pastors and leaders from that districts. Since it was Dr. Sos’ first time with these leaders it was exciting to get to know the work and ministry of these pastors. Although, this is not an easy place of ministry, the churches are growing and new churches are being planted.  The seminar on “Five-fold Ministry” was well received, and a great blessing for their future ministry.

Pastor Daniel and Liliana Palma invited Dr Sos for a time of ministry to Granada. They planned three days of seminars of the church leadership, the topic: “Dry Brook University” was a timely subject for the leaders. This is an ongoing training for development of future leaders as well as to better equip the existing workers. On Sunday, Dr Sos ministered in the church service and the Lord blessed His word, as people were committing their lives to serve the Lord with the power of the Holy Spirit.

The weekend ministry completed Dr. Sos’s itinerary in Africa. Liberty Center Assembly of God, pastored by Rev. Sam Ato Bentil, is a well run and organized congregation, with many outreach ministries serving their community and mission around the country. Two Sunday services are filled with excellent worship and preaching ministry. Dr. Sos ministered in both of these services. Great response by the congregation was the confirmation that these believers came to experience God.

Last year, Dr. Sos and Barbara were invited to a meeting with the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev. Dr. Paul Frimpong Manso.

During their conversation certain needs were brought up. After visiting their publishing house, Dr. Sos has seen the need for more printing presses and other equipment to help them to put out greater number of books and Christian materials. It was a great joy for Dr. Sos to see the equipment safely delivered and installed in the printing shop.

We would like to express our thanks to Mr. Peter Ng, who has donated presses, perforating machine, folder, camera, plate making machine, colour separation machine and photo copier.

From Elmina, Dr Sos traveled to see the village where the container goods have been sent at the end of last year.  Rev. Robert Arhin, senior pastor of Hope Assembly of God church in Mamprobi has planted a church in this village and started this school. When Barbara and I visited it for the first time, Barbara’s heart connected with these children. She was the major force behind the shipment of clothing, shoes, school supplies, rice, school equipment and other such items that she was able to send for children.

When Dr. Sos arrived to see the distributed goods, the children were looking for mom Barbara.We thank all Canadian families who gave the donations. New class rooms are being constructed, and the library expanded.
