Kornel and Tanja Crnkcovic
Koprivnica, Croatia

The Crnkovics had their annual summer camp in July with 135 people attending, teenagers and young families with small children. A stand-out testimony of God’s grace came from a family with a 17- yr-old fighting cancer. Several years ago they lost their father to cancer also. The Crnkovics ask prayer for the Baptist church of Virovitica, who lost their pastor overnight and struggled, with only 5 faithful members continuing to come to church, praying that God would send them a pastor. Kornel and another pastor alternated in filling their pulpit until God provided another pastor. That pastor has now resigned and only a handful of people remain. Kornel is again helping with preaching. Pray for their daughter Andrea. She did find a teaching job, in answer to prayer, but by Croatian law, it is hers for only 60 days, after which time she must reapply and compete with other applicants. Pray also for Tanya’s parents who have health struggles. Her father still pastors another church in Croatia. Pray for the Crnkovics for open doors and new ministry opportunities and for the spiritual growth of their church members.
