Montenegro

Where is Montenegro?

Montenegro is a small country the size of the State of Connecticut. The country is on the Adriatic coast south of Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia on the Balkan Peninsula.  


What is their language & culture?

Montenegrins speak Serbian and their culture is predominantly Serbian. Montenegro declared independence from Serbia in 2006, making it the second newest sovereign nation on the globe. Montenegrin culture has been shaped by the influences of Greek, Roman, Venetian, Ottoman, and Austria-Hungarian cultures.


Where specifically are we working and who are we working with?

We are working in the northern mountain areas of Montenegro where there is a mixture of Serbian Orthodox and Islamic religious beliefs. We continue to broaden our scope of contacts from students at the local Economic University to the children at two disabled children’s centers in town. Beginning in 2007, we have developed several ongoing relationships with locals. We work closely with the few believers in town as well as several evangelical churches based in major cities throughout the country.

What are we working to do there?  


The goal of our efforts in Montenegro is to plant a healthy, self-sustaining, self-reproducing church in the northern region of Montenegro.

Our strategy to reach our goal consists of three parts:
 ·  Consistent proclamation of the gospel message
 ·  Spiritual investment in local believers
 ·  Project and relationship based ministry

Montenegro Trips:

MBBC is committed to taking several teams per year to Montenegro. As we continue to grow and learn, the specifics of our trips will change and grow with us. Every trip we take to Montenegro utilizes our three part strategy with the ultimate goal of leading people to faith in Jesus Christ and developing those who do come to Christ into a healthy, vibrant church dedicated to reaching others in their community for Christ.
