On Sabbath afternoon, April 3rd, a group of twenty-five Adventist business women and men met in Zagreb to hear a presentation explaining the purpose of ASI. Their passion for the Adventist movement inspired them to want to know more about ASI principles, activities and most importantly, its mission. Adventist entrepreneurs throughout the world are called to leave their comfort zones and start sharing Christ in the marketplace. This group of Adventist entrepreneurs and professionals showed great interest as they received a worldwide report of how ASI members are making a difference. The church business leaders in Croatia saw how they could get involved in the mission of our church and how this could happen in their own country.

The President of the Union was present (he was the translator). His hospitality and vision in supporting the future of ASI Croatia was inspiring. A committee of six Adventist businesspeople was elected at the end of the meeting to setup ASI Croatia over the next three to five months.

It is marvelous to see how the Holy Spirit is working in the hearts of more and more Adventist businesspeople throughout Europe to start acting now by sharing Christ in the marketplace.
