\u2018M.C. THREE ANGELS\u2019, based near Belgrade was registered in July 2016 and stands in direct contrast to the reputation of \u2018Hells angels\u2019. Their initial outreach has included a literature stand at a local fair, and using their bikes as a basis for literature evangelism in four towns.<\/p>\n
In Montenegro, Radovan A\u0107imi\u0107 is planning to \u2018bring back the smile\u2019 to at least fifty people in the capital city, Podgorica. Working with a local dental clinic, ADRA, and Social Services, they aim to help the families not just with their teeth, but by sharing a holistic programme.<\/p>\n Also in the north, some 160 blind or partially sighted residents in Ba\u010dka Palanka were given access to Braille versions of Steps to Christ and Hope beside the grave. But there is much more than just books. Church members have worked closely with The Association for the Blind to help organise social activities such as picnics as well as lectures on psychology, relationships, stress management and health issues.<\/p>\n Their pastor, Sre\u0107ko Krsti\u0107, says, \u201cWe look forward to every new meeting with our new friends and the great opportunity to spread the Gospel to this specific group of people.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/sitenews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/images_news-2017_Three-Angels-books-scaled.jpg\")

<\/a>Material health is also important for vulnerable families in Sivac, a village of less than 9,000 people in Northern Serbia. Providing basic groceries and giving 12 families daily bread, shared the practical gospel with those who had never been inside an Adventist Church. The feeding programme runs specifically through the worst winter months and makes such a difference that the story was highlighted by a National newspaper, Ve\u010dernje novosti.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/sitenews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/images_news-2017_3.-Baby-Evangelisation-scaled.jpg\")
<\/a>Zdravko Bosni\u0107, the local church elder, says that the plan is now to buy or build a house for at least one of the most deprived families. His desire to help people comes from his own life experience as one of nine children from a poor family. The church also provides a care package for every new-born child in the village.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ted.adventist.org\/sitenews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/images_news-2017_LifeHealth-TV-programme.jpg\")

<\/a>Equally focused on health, church members in Novi Sad, Serbia’s second largest city, are running a day centre for pensioners in the central church. Three times a week, 44 senior citizens get the chance to play board games, enjoy health expos and cooking classes, or even get a pedicure. They also get a weekly doctor’s visit, and the option is open for Bible studies each Wednesday. [ted<\/em>NEWS]<\/p>\n
