<\/a>Juri\u0161i\u0107, a 25-year-old electrical engineering student, started his Instagram account \u201cProrocanstva\u201d (Prophesies) three years ago. Today, nearly 5,000 people follow him on Instagram. But he was not looking for popularity, because his vision is driven with the desire to share the Gospel in a relevant way. \u201cAs I read Ellen White\u2019s counsel to go from door to door to preach the Gospel\u201d he shared, \u201cI was thinking, how should we do that today? Then, I realised that we could do it from phone to phone!\u201d<\/p>\n
At first, Juri\u0161i\u0107 was surprised to see teenagers interested in the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, \u201cI thought this to be a topic for old people, but I found out that this message is relevant and is changing young people\u2019s lives.\u201d Supported with guidance from local pastors, they partnered with him and gave Bible studies to his Instagram followers. They even went live on Instagram to preach and distributed free books like The Great Controversy and Bibles. \u201cI am so grateful for their help and wholehearted support. It was a fantastic team effort!\u201d<\/p>\n
Seeing the increased interest in spiritual topics, Juri\u0161i\u0107 and the church leaders organised monthly meetings where the teens could mingle and ask any question on their minds. This led to their first spiritual retreat in Zlatibor, Serbia. Almost thirty teens and young adults who had never stepped in an Adventist Church before attended the event, \u201cNeither they nor we could hide our enthusiasm. It was obvious that the Holy Spirit had been working in their hearts for a long time,\u201d said Juri\u0161i\u0107. Together, they studied the book of Job until late into the night. Realizing that there was still much to learn, the young people asked for a similar event to be held soon, to continue studying.<\/p>\n Juri\u0161i\u0107 is amazed at the impact of his humble Instagram ministry, \u201cSome people think that to keep an Instagram ministry going they will have to post something new every day, and they will be very busy; but I post content only once a week.\u201d Juri\u0161i\u0107 doesn\u2019t spend hours planning the content either, \u201cI read the Bible and the writings of Ellen White, and let the Holy Spirit guide me.\u201d The results speak for themselves because, as Juri\u0161i\u0107 joyfully informs, more than ten people have been baptised thanks to the direct and indirect influence of this ministry. \u201cI am amazed,\u201d he says, \u201cthe Holy Spirit is breathing on us!\u201d<\/p>\n When asked about the future of his ministry, Juri\u0161i\u0107 reflects, \u201cMy dream is to continue to preach the Three Angel\u2019s Message to the entire world, to every nation, tongue and tribe until Jesus returns.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a>
