Project relocation coffee house The Bridge, Tetovo

The Stoilovi family
Do you remember Jordan & Vesna Stoilovi from Macedonia? We helped them in the past with funding for a children's playground and their coffee house The Bridge.

We regularly receive their newsletters and so stay up to date with the developments in Tetovo, a city in the north western corner of the country, mainly inhabited by people of Albanian descend.

Jordan has a desire to reach people in his city who do not know the love of God. He is in coffee house The Bridge every day, to talk with visitors.

New location of The Bridge
In recent years, he has been able to build good relationships with various guests and some of them have now become believers and were baptized. They regularly meet in The Bridge for Bible Studies.

The Bridge will be moving to a larger building in a new location. That is of course great news. The new property used to be a (post) office until recently, but soon it will be the new accommodation for Jordan and his team.

Jacek & Magdalena
Yes, we are writing 'team' because after years of praying and waiting Jordan and Vesna are finally getting help from a missionary family from Poland! During the last few years Jacek and Magdalena have worked for OM among the refugees in southern Macedonia. They have now found living space in Tetovo and will help to reach more people with the good news about Jesus Christ.
Soon this will be The Bridge coffee house

Well, a new location for The Bridge it will be. Jordan has asked if Traveling Light wants to assist in fundraising for the kitchen and the purchase of tables, chairs and benches among other things.

Of course we want to help and we hope that you will come along as well. Together we can give them a nice donation so they can open the new Bridge soon. We hope to visit them again later this year.

Gifts (large and small) are very welcome! St. Traveling Light, Papendrecht IBAN: NL91RABO0118582275 BIC: RABONL2U. Do not forget to mention: BRIDGE.
