Where: Skopje /SCOPE-ye/, Macedonia
When: June 8-16, 2008
Purpose: To work with IMB missionaries and local believers in Macedonia to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, to encourage the local missionaries and believers in their work, and to develop a vision for FBC Ruston missions
How: By participating in English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, making evangelistic outreach visits, and traveling to other areas of the country
Team Members: David & Elaine Caston, Kenny & Brenda Martin, Janet Aycock, Kay Bradford, Melanie Colvin, and Ellen Glover
IMB Missionaries: Kyle & Jackie Kirkpatrick
Why: The majority of Macedonians are Orthodox Christians which sounds like a wonderful thing; however, most of these "Christians" have no idea that Jesus died on the cross for their sins and that repentance is available to them. The traditions of the Orthodox church have been passed down for centuries (Macedonia is MUCH older than America) without any question of why? The majority of Macedonians are lost people searching for meaning that can only be found in the blood of Jesus.
