•  Pastor Mladen Tomičić – Evangelical Church of Breza, Bosnia and Hercegovina

Mladen and his wife, Violeta, have been pastoring an evangelical church in the village of Breza, about a half hour outside Sarajevo, in Bosnia for nearly two decades. They have been trusted friends and ministry partners of Open Door Fellowship, hosting and assisting many of our short-term teams year after year. The two are both first-generation believers as well as survivors of the devastating civil war in Bosnia that was part of the breakup of former Yugoslavia.

•  Pastor Simon Nziramakenga – Good Shepherd Community Church, Kigali, Rwanda

Pastor Simon and his wife, Kedress, were called from back to their home country of Rwanda from their full life in Nairobi Kenya, after the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. There they began Good Shepherd Community Church and primary school with a vision of meeting holistic the needs (spirit, mind and body) of their community. In 2015 Kedress passed away but Simon continues to lead their effort and mentors many other church leaders throughout the country.

The Evangelical Church of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Prior to the war that accompanied the breakup of former Yugolavia, Bosnia and Hercegovina was religiously split between Catholic, Orthodox and Muslim faiths. During and then after the war, a fledgling evangelical church movement began as churches and small home fellowships were established throughout the country. ODF became involved with the Evangelical Church of Bosnia and Hercegovina just a year and a half after the war, in 1997. Over time, have ministered to and alongside several of those church congregations.

Good Shepherd Church and Primary School — Kigali, Rwanda

In partnership with a local church and school in Kigali, Rwanda, the ODW Child Sponsorship provides children with an education and the support they need to experience the love of Christ, as well as to grow into contributing members and leaders of their communities. Sponsorship provides for tuition; purchase school supplies; uniforms; and provides one meal per day. 

We will update the list of children needing sponsorship regularly. One student currently, needs a sponsor. Would you prayerfully consider becoming a sponsor? Please contact Angie Warren at ednamaeknot@msn.com for more information. 

COVID-19, has closed the school for now. Due to poverty, online school is not an option. Pray for all the children, teacher and administrators who are in need of food and income to sustain them during this season of uncertainty.

Ways to be involved:

We have ongoing need for sponsors. Sponsorship provides for fees, supplies, food and more—an incredible blessing to a child without resources.
