Macedonia

5/3/10 One of the lessons for the week comes from Acts 16:9-15, where Paul has a vision of a man pleading with him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." What got to me was the timing of this passage with what was going on in my life. On Saturday night I performed a marriage in which the bride was from Macedonia (think just north of Greece in the former Yugoslavia). Stefanija had her parents come over to join in the festivities. The father of the groom had found 2 Univerisity of Texas students who spoke Serbian to serve as translators for the weekend. In the book of Acts, Paul's going to Macedonia is the start of the spread of the gospel to Europe. Stefanija is Greek Orthodox. The faith continues in Macedonia.
