Baptisms in Serbia come with a level of commitment that announces to the community that they have chosen to be followers of Christ.  It is an act that tells others they personally accept responsibility for their relationship with God.

Along with this commitment they accept the consequences it can bring.  Some are ridiculed, others suffer attacks from the community, and the hardest of all can be separation from fellowship with their families.  Commitment to the Lord can be the choosing between God and family.

Pray for Serbs as they commit their lives to the Lord.  Pray as they make the choice to choose God over man.

"Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.  Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.  For I have come to turn  " 'a man against his father,  a daughter against her mother,  a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,  a man's enemies will be the members of his own household' "  Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." (Matthew 10:32-39)
