HISTORY

As war was engulfing the region in 1992 Nikola and Sandra Skrinjaric, a young Christian couple from Croatia, moved into the Bosnian city of Mostar to distribute aid and bring together small groups for Bible studies in their home.

Shortly after this Christians in the UK became involved in supporting their work which developed to the point where Novi Most International was formed in 1994 as a registered charity and mission organisation to help sustain this pioneering work.

The work has adapted to meet a changing situation – from the initial emphasis on aid, church planting and refugee outreach, through large summer camps for young people, to Klub Novi Most, a drop-in and training centre for young people in Mostar. The emphasis has always been on reaching and working with young people.

A team of Christian volunteer workers in Mostar lead Klub Novi Most and organise courses and activities for young people (11-21), most of whom have no connection with the Church.

Novi Most workers also give a part of their time to participate in the work of local churches and lead small groups for young Christians. Each summer there is a ten-week special programme when 50+ short-term volunteers join the permanent team to lead camps, sports events, concerts, outdoor pursuits and many other activities. We are supported by individuals and churches across the UK and are keen to develop and maintain links with our partners.
