Pathways Serbia

Novi Sad, located on the banks of the Danube River, is a major cultural, industrial, and financial hub for Serbia. It is the second largest city in the country, next to the capital of Belgrade, with over a quarter of a million residents. The city is home not only to Serbs, but also to Russians, Hungarians, Germans, Romanians, and more.

Ministry

Serbia is no stranger to conflict and war, and Novi Sad was especially devastated in the Serb Uprising in 1848, the Novi Sad raid in 1942, and during the Kosovo War in the late nineties. There is a paradigm of war that shows up at several levels of society—from politics to the local church to relationships.

There is a deep need for a paradigm of peace—the peace of Christ. Where there is a prevailing mentality of hopelessness, there is an urgent opportunity to express hope, grace, and mercy.
