Novi Sad, Serbia
June 19-July 15, 2016
I felt privileged and excited to be part of the Health Evangelism team in Novi Sad, Serbia this summer! Serbia is the country of my birth, and I couldn’t wait to see what wonderful things God would do for us. On the first night, I walked into the sanctuary and sat down. People were coming in and quickly filling all the seats.
I asked a visitor next to me, “Is this the first time you have come to this program?”
We have all heard of the word “germ”. But what is a germ? Actually, "germ" is a generic term that refers to micro-organisms that cause diseases. Some examples are viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa.
Viruses are the culprits behind the common cold, influenza, and many ears, nose, and throat infections. In fact, there are approximately 200 viruses that cause influenza (flu) and influenza-like illnesses (ILI).

As we have stressed in other articles, being diligent in our lifestyle is key to health. However, how can we keep diseases at bay if we aren't aware of them?

We are thankful to the Lord for the opportunity He has given us to be useful in His work, this time by means of music. The Music Department and the Youth Department of the SDARM in Romania, in cooperation with the Music Committee and the Youth Department of the GC, held our first musical summer school on August 15th-21st, 2016, in Porumbacu, Romania. The event title was “Echoes from Paradise”, and its key text was “And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord” Psalms 40:3.
