GBGM Executive Secretary visits Macedonia PDF Print
Saturday, 05 June 2010 15:06
From May 28 - 31, 2010, Ullas Tankler visited Macedonia, to see the work of missionary Carol Partridge, to acquaint himself with the United Methodist churches and to meet some of the members.  Dr. Tankler is from Estonia where he served 22 years as pastor of a UMC.  Now he works for the General Board of Global Ministries (GBGM), as Executive Secretary for mission relationships in Europe, North Africa, Middle East and Central Asia.  


On Sunday. May 30, Dr. Tankler preached in Strumica at the morning worship service and in Monospitovo at the evening service.  In his sermon, based on Luke 11:1-13, where Jesus instructs his disciples about prayer, Dr. Tankler explained the interconnection of relationships and prayer.  Prayer is about our relationship with God as well as our relationship with one another as believers in Christ.
In the few days that he was here, Dr. Tankler was able to see the five UMCs in the Strumica valley and to meet their pastors and other leaders. In Strumica he observed a Saturday children’s class and met with the youth following the Sunday church service.  On Monday morning, Dr. Tankler visited the MissStoneCenter to see the Meals on Wheels program and a few recipients.
Dr. Tankler was impressed by the natural beauty of our country and the friendly, out-going character of the people.  He was happy to get to know the Methodists of Macedonia, how we worship and serve.
