Seventh Day Adventist Church
Dear friends, brethren in Christ,
At the beginning we would like to greet you with Apostle Paul's greeting:
"Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus
Christ."
We are writing from Macedonia, from Kavadarci, a city with about 40.000
citizens placed in the central part of Macedonia. With this letter we would
like to tell you about our church, its activities, and to ask you for some
help in its needs. God's cause in this town has been preached almost 60
years. In the beginning it was a group of few members. Developing God's
cause was very hard. In the beginning of 60–ties a house was bought with
approximately 50m2 on the upper floor, and 35m2 on
the ground. In this house a room with 35m2 was adapted to fulfil
needs of members in that time. Today, 40 years after, the church has 85
members and, ten years back, is facing with very serious problem of space.
On the other hand the house is very old and a reconstruction of the roof
construction is necessary. The church floor is made of wood and there is
serious threat of breaking under the weight of members. Solving our problem
we had very serious problems with local authorities. Six months ago, the
new men came on the scene who had more understanding about our problems,
and we got a permission to build up a new church building with approximately
240m
2 plus 35m2 underground.
This church building will have a flat for our minister, room with 100m2
another room with 60m2 for children, and for purposes of Lord's
supper and a office with 16m2. We believe construction of this
building will solve our problem of space for a longer period.
So far, we have solved almost all problems facing with, but the problem
we are facing now, we would like to share with you. Cost calculations show's
us the sum of 90.000DM. Our people can't commend with material means, they
can't commend this even in the days of apostle Paul nor in the time when
we were in former Yugoslavia were our republic was one of undeveloped places.
However, we have some material means, but it is not enough for construction.
Therefore, dear friends and dear brethren we are making this appeal to
you to, in the frame of your material possibilities to give us support
as much as you can. We don't wish this appeal to be burden to you, but
your free will to help.
To all who will answer this appeal we would like to thank. Your donations
can be sent on following account:

At the end, please receive our warmest greetings, and may God bless you
all.
Your brethren from Kavadarci and Pastor Tome Trajkov
