Mladen and Violeta Tomicic

As a young teen caught in the war, Mladen took to drugs and alcohol to ease his pain. While serving as a translator for a U.S. short-term mission team, he gave his life to Christ. Immediately, he felt a strong desire to share Christ’s love with any who would listen. After marrying Violeta and gaining some experience in a church in Sarajevo, they were sent to plant and lead the Evangelical Church of Breza.
Additionally, Mladen has started a coffee shop in Sarajevo to help support his family and regularly travels to several towns where the believers do not have a permanent pastor to conduct worship services.
