It's wonderful when God's people work together and serve each other to grow his kingdom. That's exactly what you have done and through your generosity, Bitola Evangelical Church in North Macedonia has been blessed with funding for a completely new kitchen.
Thanks to the generosity of a UK church and TEN's match-funding programme, which is made up of donations by our supporters, the church's new kitchen was fully funded.
Here is Josip Pastor, pastor of the church to show you around! |

You may wonder what impact a new kitchen has on God's kingdom. Well, this kitchen will enable the church to host events, offer hospitality and crucially, provide cooking facilities for meals at Alpha Courses. So the people of Bitola can now receive an even warmer welcome, enjoy a meal together and learn about what Christ has done for them. That's worth giving thanks for! |
