Slovenia
History of the Assemblies of God in Slovenia In 1952, a Croatian, Sister Brkic, began a Bible study in her home in lower Slovenia, in the city of Novo Mesto. Her son Daniel now pastors the church that runs around 200 people, the largest in the Pentecostal Union. Through the years, the Assemblies of God USA has established a relationship with the Pentecostal Union, which became a part of the Worldwide Assemblies of God Fellowship in 1994. In 1996 David Campbell and Mihael Kuzmic began a Bible School with 10 students. The purpose of the Bible school is to assist the National church in reaching its goals and vision Ð to train and plant 60 churches in all of the towns and villages of Slovenia which have more than 2,000 people, over the next 10 years. Though Slovenia is one of the most beautiful countries in Eastern Europe, it is a country that is under heavy spiritual oppression. The people suffer a great deal from depression, which has lead to alcoholism being a national epidemic. It also has the worldÕs highest per capita suicide rate. Slovenia is a very spiritually needy country.
