Molitveni Kamp 2009Molitveni kamp je bio nevjerojatan! Vodje i molitveni zastupnici iz razicitih krajeva nase zemlje dosli su na ovo mjesto koje mi volimo zvati “dolinom blagoslova”, da bi se molili I predali kamp I kampere u Bozje ruke kao platformu gdje ce se On objaviti na jedan nov I svjez nacin!
Molitveni kamp je trajao dva puna dana, od Petka navecer do Nedjelje ujutro, I plan nam je bio iskoristiti svaku minutu.
Citav kamp je bio u vezi putovanja i vaznosti odredjenih mjesta u nasim zivotima! Putovali smo s Ilijom (1 Kr. 17-19) od mjesta providjanja u petak, do mjesta pobjede u Subotu da bi u Nedjelju zavrsili s mjestom objave! Bilo je to vrlo uzbudljivo putovanje!!
Petak navecer Vanja Bule je zapocela s Ilijom kojeg nalazimo na potoku Kerit i u mjestu Sarafati, i tamo ucimo o Bogu koji providja u sred suse I to na vrlo neobicne nacine. Podsjetili smo se da pripadamo Bogu koji zapovijeda nasim okolnostima, ponekad cak i gavranovima, pa I udovicama, a u Novom zavjetu vjetrovima I moru! Takodjer smo bili izazvani da slijedimo primjer vjere I poslusnosti udovice iz Sarafate i da se odlucimo na davanje i u nasoj neimastini, jer uvijek jos dolazi! Kad sve sto imamo stavimo u Njegove ruke, On ce blagosloviti, slomiti I uciniti da pretekne!
Svaku noc smo organizirali molitveni lanac od ponoci do 6 ujutro, i culi smo mnoga ohrabrujuca svjedocanstva iz tih ranih jutarnjih sati slavljenja i zastupnistva! A onda u 6 ujutro, svi bi se zajedno skupili i odlazili u molitvene setnje po kampu, moleci se za satore, kuhinju, ured, mjesto sastanka, trpezariju, jednostavno stavljajuci pecat na granice nase zemlje moleci se za zastitu i ispunjenje Njegove volje unutar tih granica. U Nedjelju ujutro bila je posebna radost moliti se za zemlju koju smo nedavno kupili predavajuci je Gospodinu za upotrebu po prvi put! Svi prisutni su mogli osjetiti ogromno uzbudjenje razmisljajuci o nacinima na koji ce Gospod upotrijebiti tu zemlju na kojoj stojimo.
Subota je bila kljucan dan, ispunjen molitvom, slavljenjem i “mesnatom” Rijeci! Slijedeci Iliju dosli smo do planine Karmel, mjesta pobjede!
U subotu ujutro, Ronnette iz Frederickburga, dugogodisnji prijatelj, pricala je o Bogu koji se objavio u vatri i o njegovom proroku koji je stajao pred 500 Baalovim laznih proroka izazivajuci ih o njihovom bogu, i pred Bozjim narodom, izazivajuci ih o njihovoj kompromitirajucoj vjeri i zivotu. Razgovarali smo o vjeri koja je bila potrebna Iliji i koja je samo mogla doci iz duboke spoznaje o tome tko Bog jeste i tko je on u Njemu. Na kraju smo kao crkva u Bosni i Hercegovini bili ohrabreni da se ne bojimo, vec da se priblizimo Bogu, dublje upoznamo Njega i nas identitet u Njemu, jer tu lezi kljuc nase pobjede!
Poslije jutarnjeg sastanka i u vrijeme prije vecere Enisa je imala dva predavanja gdje nas je poucavala o zastupnickoj molitvi, iza koje je slijedila molitva za nedosegnute gradove, vodje postojecih crkava, kampere koji ce doci na kamp ove godine, pojedinacne kampove, njihove programe i vodje te punovremeni tim koji ce sluziti kroz citavo vrijeme kampova 2009! Bilo je to stvarno dobro vrijeme molitve, sto znaci da je Enisa napravila dobar posao! Hvala Enisa!
Navecer, pastor Sasa je govorio o Bogu koji se objavio kroz kisu! Ohrabrio je crkvu u nasoj zemlji da ne odustane, vec da ustraje, jer obecanje zasigurno dolazi! Takodjer je stigao naslikati svoju propovjed kao trajni podsjetnik ustrajnosti koja nam je potrebna da bismo primili ispunjenje obecanja!!
I dosla je Nedjelja, pastor Orin iz Oregon, US, propovjedao je o Ilijinom iskustvu na Horebu, mjestu objave i otkrivenja, gdje je Ilija vidio Boga na potpuno jedan nov i svjez nacin. Takodjer je govorio o pustinji koja je prethodila Horebu i tu je ispropovjedao svoje srce i zivot! Dok je dijelio s nama neka od mnogobrojnih pustinjskih iskustava u dugogodisnjem misonarskom radu medju plemenima u Irian Jayi, brzo je nadodao da ni za sta ne bi mjenjao nijedno od tih, jer u tim mracnim i usamljenim mjestima, upoznao je Boga na nacin na koji ne bio mogao nikako drugacije! Bio je vrlo zahvalan za pustinje jer u sred istih bio je Bog koji nas tamo susrece i izvodi pripremajuci nas za putovanje koje slijedi!
I putovanje koje je upravo ispred nas je kamp 2009, ali postoji putovanje za svakog od nas, kao i za crkvu u Bosni i Hercegovini. Nasa molitva je da cemo ustrajati dok putujemo od mjesta do mjesta upoznavajuci Boga, nas same i da necemo nikad, ama bas nikad odustati, uvijek ponovo upiruci pogled u Onoga koji je ustrajao tako da bismo I mi ustrajali i primili obecanje zetve dusa, ono za cim tako ceznemo!
Mi vapimo, “GOSPODE DAJ NAM OVU ZEMLJU!!! Hoces li zaustaviti ovo vrijeme suse i otvoriti nebo i uciniti da kisa spasenja padne na Balkan!!!”
Pozivamo vas da nam se pridruzite u ovoj ustrajnoj molitvi i usponu do planinskog vrha dok ne vidimo “oblak velik kao covjecja ruka kako se dize iznad mora!!” 1 Kr. 18:44

Prayer Camp 2009
Prayer Camp was amazing! We had leaders and prayer warriors from all over the country come to this place that we love to call “valley of the blessing”. We came together to pray and commit the land and the campers into God’s hands as a platform where He will reveal Himself in a new and fresh way!
Prayer camp lasted two full days, from Friday evening to Sunday morning and we wanted to use every minute of it.
It was all about journey and places. We journeyed with Elijah (1 Kings 17-19) from places of provision on Friday, to place of victory on Saturday, just to finish at the place of revelation on Sunday morning! It was exciting journey!
Friday evening Vanja started off finding Elijah at Kerith and Zerapath and there we learned that God provides in the middle of the drought. We were reminded that we belonged to the Lord who orders our circumstances, sometimes even to ravens, or the widow, and also the wind and the sea in the New Testament! We were also challenged to follow the faith and obedience of the widow in Zerapath and give in our lack knowing that there is more to come!
Every night we organized prayer chain from Midnight to 6 AM, and we had many encouraging testimonies from those early hours of worship and intercession! Also at 6 am, we would all get up and go into the prayer walk around our property, praying for tents, dining place, office, kitchen, meeting place, just sealing the boundaries of the camp site and praying for protection and His will to be done within the same! On Sunday morning it was a special joy to pray for the new piece of property that we just recently purchased, dedicating it to the Lord for the very first time!
We all agreed that we felt enormous excitement thinking of the ways that the Lord will be using this land we were standing on!
Saturday was the key day, filled with prayer, worship and the “meaty” Word! Following Elijah we came to mountain Carmel, the place of victory!
In the morning, Ronnette from Fredericksburg, long time friend, talked about God who revealed Himself in the fire and also about his prophet who stood in the face of 500 Baal’s prophets challenging their god, and also in the face of people of God, challenging their compromising faith and lifestyle. We talked about faith that it took, that came only from the deep knowledge of knowing his God and knowing who he was in Him. We were encouraged as the church in Bosnia and Herzegovina not to fear but to get to know our God and our true identity in Him, since that it where our victory lies!
Following the morning session and just before dinner, we had time where Enisa Dedic taught us about intercession which was followed by prayer for unreached cities in our country, leaders of the existing churches, campers, specific camps and the long term team that will serve throughout the 2009 camp season! It was amazing time of prayer, obviously Enisa did an excellent job J!
In the evening, pastor Sasa talked about God who revealed Himself in the rain that comes as a promise received by those who persevere! He encouraged the church in this country not to give up, but to persevere, for the promise will come for sure! He also painted his sermon that will remain as a constant reminder of the perseverance that is needed in order to receive what is promised!!!
And then Sunday came, Pastor Orin from Oregon preached about Elijah’s experiences on Horeb, place of revelation place where he saw God in a whole new way. He also preached about the desert that led to Horeb! He preached his life and his heart out, and as he just mentioned some of the desert experiences he went through, he was quick to add that he would never trade it for anything, In those lonely, dark places, he met God in a way that he would have never met him in any other way! He was thankful for deserts for in the midst of the same there was God who meets us and leads us out, preparing us for the journey ahead of us!
And our most immediate journey is the camp journey 2009 and, but for each one of us there is unique journey waiting, as well as for the church in Bosnia and Herzegovina! Our prayer is that we will persevere as we move from the place to place learning about God, ourselves, and that we would never, never give up, always focusing on Him who persevered so that we can do the same and receive the promise of the harvest of the souls that we all so deeply long for!
We cry out, “LORD GIVE US THIS LAND!!! Will you make the drought season end and will you open the floodgates of heaven, and let the salvation rain on the Balkans!!!”
I invite you to join us in this persevering cry, and that walk up to the mountain until we see “the cloud as small as a man’s hand rising from the sea!!!” 1 Kings. 18:44
