Church planting in... the Balkans?

Recently I was in Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia meeting people involved in church planting. It is pretty challenging. There could be almost as many evangelical Christians in my church as there are in all of Bosnia! But some exciting stuff is going on, with more to come. Watch this to find out more...

Only hundreds of evangelical Christians in Bosnia. Really?

In a week's time I will be meeting with a couple who have been doing church planting for decades in the Balkans. In anticipation of that I was looking at some statistics for that region and ran across this about Bosnia in OperationWorld <http://www.operationworld.org/country/bosn/owtext.html>

"The miniscule evangelical witness has grown since 1991. Then there were only 2 to 3 congregations, but this had grown to 29 in 2000 with 700 people attending services."

Wow! That's not many. Still, that is a ten fold multiplication in number of churches in under a decade.

Anyone have more recent stats?
