Croatia 4 Christ

Meet the Leslie family

The Leslie Family arrived in Croatia in May of 2000. They have served for the last decade as only Independent Baptist missionaries in the entire country of Croatia. During this time the very first Independent Baptist church was planted in the northern city of Čakovec. Tree of Life Independent Baptist Church was started in 2002 and was turned over to Brother Rajko Telebar the national pastor in 2007. The church is currently under the leadership of Bro. Telebar and growing and learning to serve.

The Leslies have also tried to have an active ministry to the Roma (Gyspy) population in Croatia. The northern part of Croatia has a large Gypsy population and they are in desperate need of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Leslies are currently working in 3 different villages.

Bro. Johnny Leslie has now turned his attention to the former Croatian capitol of Croatia. Varaždin has around 300,000 souls within it's county and not one independent Baptist church. Please pray for Victor's Baptist Church and the Leslies as they do their best to serve the Lord in Varaždin.

Please feel free to contact Bro. Leslie via e-mail or you may call him at 817-405-2657.

The Leslies are heading home!

Furlough is always an exciting time for missionaries and this furlough is no different.

We came to the States this time expecting big changes. Our oldest son Cody has been in Croatia since he was 7 and when we step on the plane to go home he will be staying behind. He graduated high school in May and is in his first year of Bible college studying missions. We are so excited that he is following God's will for his life and we can't wait to see what He will do with him.

We are so excited to be going back bearing precious Seed. We are shipping 10,000 hardback New Testaments to Croatia with us this time. As we begin our fourth term as Independent Baptist Missionaries in Croatia we can only imagine what God has for us on the horizon.
