PODGORICA, MONTENEGRO - Jo Byrd-Huddleston, a Christian in Arkansas, is praying for the day missionaries will move to this Central European nation and work alongside her “adopted spiritual daughter,” Marsida Bobaj.
Bobaj was baptized in 2010 after studying the Bible with Byrd-Huddleston through the World English Institute correspondence program. The country of 661,000 souls has no Churches of Christ.
“Please keep her in your prayers,” Byrd-Huddleston said of Bobaj. “She has been faithful for a year and a half in a country that, at present, has no church with which to worship and fellowship. She is certainly God’s faithful, 17-year-old daughter.”
