Look closely at the attached picture. First of all you will see we are following "Christ." That is good. Followers of the true and living Christ are to follow Him in all things. Now, look at the license plate on the truck. You will notice "NP" on the plate. NP signifies the city of Novi Pazar deep in SW Serbia, very near the Montenegrin border. Novi Pazar is also one of the key cities in an area called the "Sandzhak," which was a corridor set up by the Ottoman Turks allowing Muslims to travel from Turkey to Albania and up to Bosnia-Herzegovina. This corridor is still today highly Muslim with virtually no Gospel witness of anykind. The corridor runs roughly along the Serbian/Montenegrin border and is on both sides of the border. So, the irony: following "Christ" from one of the main Muslim centers in Serbia and Montenegro. Go figure! But also pray for this corridor in Montenegro and Serbia. How can we take the Truth into this large area?
