Hello Zenica

 
In January 1991, a young man was invited to the Bible study we were having at our home in Sarajevo, and he gave his life to Jesus Christ that Wednesday night. He was so touched by the singing and worship that he took a songbook home with him to begin learning the songs on his guitar. The next week he came back to the Bible study carrying his guitar and the songbook. He asked, “May I play along in the worship?” We replied, “Of course; which songs did you learn this week?” He said, “All of them.” Such was our introduction to Dario Kapin.

Dario would remain with us for nearly one year before heading to Sweden to study at a Bible college in December of 1991. During 1991, he grew in the anointing of worship and preaching, leading many of the street outreaches we held in Sarajevo. In the face of ridicule and rejection by family and friends, Dario held firm to his calling to ministry. His mother at that time was involved with witchcraft, and opposed his faith in Jesus. Dario learned very quickly that having a personal relationship and faith in Jesus Christ will mean spiritual warfare.

After his studies in Sweden, Dario moved to Serbia, where he met and married Sylvia, and ministered for a number of years before moving to the city of Zenica in Bosnia. They have two beautiful daughters, Rut and Deborah. Dario and Sylvia have been pastoring for around ten years in Zenica, and have established themselves in this predominate islamic city as servants of Jesus Christ and bearers of His Gospel. Through these years they have sown the seed of the Gospel through radio/television programs, and hosting large HOPE concerts on the main walking street of the city.
