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.
