I hear of these spontaneous church plants all the time. The nation is politically isolated, and Christians sense that only God can change the nation's situation through revival. Belgrade pastor Angelic is 77 years old, but travels to Bosnia to preach in various churches for 3 or 4 days whenever his health allows. In Leskovac, there was a revival in a Gypsy church, according to the AVC report. Hundreds of people have been saved and baptised, filled with the Holy Spirit and now fast.
People come to church by the truckful.
Mobilization at national level, from the top down so to speak, simply does not work here. Apparently, there are already 25 cities, such as Miami, Florida, seriously considering a city-wide church planting strategy. Miami is also the host city for a strategic conference for all of Latin America. Between 16 and 19 November, some 2,000 key Latin American leaders are expected to attend the conference to work out a continental church planting target and encourage strategic partnerships. This decade, over 40,000 new churches have been planted in only 9 Latin American countries, and evangelical partnerships in 13 countries aim to plant 450,000 new churches by 2010.
