How church partnership brings lasting hope in Tuzla

Rooted in Faith, Called to Serve

Since 2015, Nives has served families in Tuzla, but her calling began long before. Arriving in Bosnia and Herzegovina after the war, she came to support the local church—where faith and practical care meet daily needs.

Together with her husband, now pastor of the Evangelical Church in Tuzla, Nives has poured into the community through Bible studies, youth groups, and women’s gatherings—building a foundation of trust and spiritual care.

For Nives, the partnership between the church and Mission Without Borders is not accidental—it is essential. Their shared vision reaches further than either could alone, offering both spiritual truth and tangible help.

Two Wheels Moving Forward Together

In Tuzla, every programme is shaped by collaboration. Church volunteers stand behind every activity—preparing spaces, serving meals, supporting families, and praying faithfully.

This unity is especially visible in a Roma community where poverty and limited education affect many families. Together, the church and Mission launched an after-school programme—providing meals, homework support, and a safe space for children to grow.

Jasminka, a church volunteer, has seen its generational impact.

“Seeing how one of the girls, once in our programme, is as a mother today, it is a testimony to God’s faithfulness.”

Families are not only being helped—their lives are being transformed.

A Shared Mission Changing Generations

Tuzla faces ongoing challenges, from unemployment to migration. Yet through this partnership, families receive life-changing support—spiritual, emotional, and practical.

Your generosity makes this possible, bringing hope to those who need it most. It empowers volunteers like Nives and Jasminka to walk alongside families, nurture children, and restore dignity—creating lasting change. Will you help reach more families in need?
