Serbia
Jovica and Savka Bacvanski
Jovica and Savka Bacvanski moved back to Novi Sad in Serbia in 2023 after faithfully serving at Christ Gospel Church in Podgorica, Montenegro for twenty-four years.
Jovica had not wanted to go to Montenegro but as he began to preach in Podgorica in the late 1990’s, his heart was captured and he knew that he and Savka and their two sons, Jovan and Aleksander had to go.
They worked with drug addicts with the help of ex-drug addicts who went through the rehab centre. They were in contact with the people from Montenegro who were part of the rehab centres in the countries around Montenegro. Once they completed rehab they were invited to the church, and Jovica provided practical help and fellowship for them telling them they were not alone.
The new church, Christ Gospel Church in Novi Sad has rented two rooms in a shopping mall and opened the doors for its first service in December 2023. Jovica and Savka maintain links with their former church in Podgorica, and continue to support Boris and Urša Ćurčić, the new leaders.
