HUB Belgrade Bible School Bulletin December 2013
Dear friends, We are happy to be able to write you in this way at the end of this year with the latest news from HUB. We are also happy to share with you what is happening among us. When we look back we see the awesome hand of God over all and how by His grace the ministry of the Bible school and HUB has been blessed. Thanks for praying for the improvement of this ministry. Thanks to all the churches, individuals and organizations who sacrifice to help financially the existence of this ministry in this region.
18th generation of students
We are at the very end of the first term and we really have a lovely group of students, who are so different and unique, but at the same time full of desire to study, serve and be edified. We see the hand of God in action as he changes their lives. It is a huge reward for every hard labor and sacrifice. The program of the Bible school is unique in that it offers a possibility of spiritual progress established on the healthy teaching from the Holy Scriptures. It is available to all those who want to grow spiritually and for those who want to complete their knowledge by preparing themselves for a church ministry or a ministry at the mission field. Since the foundation of the school, everything that the students need, including studying and accommodation has been available for free for all the students, thanks to provision God has been showing through many who faithfully give.
Practical experiences - Mission
An irreplaceable part of what HUB does is our practical ministry to others. Every week, we visit many churches, former students, young churches. Other than that, our practical days that we have once a week consist of evangelism, giving out books and literature to people in the streets of towns and villages, visits to the poor and sick. These experiences enrich our spiritual lives and remind us of the huge harvest which is in front of us and of the call we have as Christians.
Never in my life could I have found something more profound, more precious, more important and more encouraging than the Word of God. I came to this school with average expectations, but since I became a part of the school as a student, I have been getting much more than I expected. We study the inexhaustible treasure of the Word of God in an interesting way with great and high quality teachers. I’ve also been receiving many encouragements from the school staff. I am thankful to God for the wisdom he is giving the school’s leadership and that everything here works in perfect order, since God is the God of order. Izabela and Lazar Atanasovski

The Bible School team
Hospitality of HUB God has entrusted us with a real oasis which we can use during the whole year. We want this place still to be useful for many, so we want to continue offering the possibility for churches and other Christian organizations to organize their activities at our facilities. Our ministry is to use our warm hospitality and the resources we have, with minimal expenses, to help you organize excellent camps, meetings, seminars and social events by using excellent conditions of HUB. Thank God that we can make this place look better and better and ever more comfortable.
The HUB team
Ministering here as a staff member is wonderful! God has given us different gifts to serve each other and watch God realize his plans and purposes. There are new people on our team. Jan and Ana Pavela joined us at the beginning of the school year and they are a great blessing with their ministry in HUB. Their main ministry is to prepare the food, but many other activities as well. Please pray for their life circumstances, their strength and leadership.
If there is any way we can serve you and your community even better, please contact us. We are open for any good suggestion or a question… Our great honor is that we can be useful to God’s people here in this region. Also, let us know if there is any way in which you would like to support this ministry. Above all, please keep us in your prayers, that God’s will would be done through HUB and the Bible school and that the name of our Lord Jesus would be glorified above all things. Sincerely yours,
Sladjan and Jaroslava Milenkovic with the HUB team and the Bible school students
