Montenegro — Deepening Relationships
January 15, 2010
Christina Melton lives in Podgorica, Montenegro and is serving the church there in youth and worship ministry. Here is her most recent report:
January in Montenegro is a bit of a slow holiday month, especially for students. This means that I have had the opportunity to spend extra time with the two college girls in the church, Violeta and Helena, who are both excellent musicians/worship leaders and who are so much fun to be around!
I am enjoying the fellowship, even though they force me to speak Serbian sometimes. 
Because the teenagers are not in school, about five of them helped with the Christmas Samaritan’s Purse shoe box program. I enjoyed getting to spend the extra time with them every day for six days while we distributed tons of shoe boxes.
We have suspended our regular Friday night teenage meetings because of the holidays, but we are doing some fun random events with the teens, including a photo scavenger hunt and going to the movie theater to see A Christmas Carol.
Next week, teenagers from Albania are coming to hang out with our teens, so we are in the midst of planning for that event.
My goal for this month is to really seek God concerning the direction of teenage ministry here. It is important to have a vision statement and to evaluate what can and cannot be expected between now and the end of the semester.
I pray that we will be very intentional in all that we do, and I appreciate any prayers, especially as we try to discern the direction of teenage ministry in the next few months.

Got something to say?
You should try Ulcinj (just south of Podgorica) to broaden your horizons, it’s a 90% Muslim town and a very refreshing change from Christianity.
And the beaches are a really great place to seek God!
Chris — we’ve been to Ulcinj and you’re right, the beach there is a very beautiful place that speaks of God’s greatness in creation. We had some Bible studies there. As to your other point — I find that walking with Christ is very refreshing. I especially like the mountains of Montenegro and look forward to my next visit there in February.
