The "Y" Family

South Asia

The “Y” Family has been International Ministry Partners with Children’s Relief International (CRI) for the past 12 years, serving the Lord among their own people. Their vision is to strengthen the local church as they care for the widows, the orphans and the lost within their community. R was saved at a young age. She completed a Doctorate degree in Medicine, a Masters degree in Biblical Counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary and most recently a Masters degree in Social Work.  J was saved at the age of 19. He completed a Masters degree in Biochemistry, and later a Masters degree in Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary.  Prior to their call into full-time ministry, J was working in a Biotech Pharma company and R was working in the ER. They resigned their jobs and moved to the United States in order to pursue seminary education. After finishing seminary, they returned home to serve the Lord. They minister at City Brethren Assembly, where J is the pastor, while also sharing the gospel and providing care to HIV positive widows and orphans through various projects. A few of those projects include:

Project Life: a ministry that currently serves 39 HIV positive widows in the community. They provide support and care to these women and their children through regular house visits, offering free groceries, and caring for their physical, emotional & spiritual needs.
Project Life Launch: a ministry that currently serves 12 young adults and orphans that have been impacted by HIV. They provide skill training, encouragement and support to launch these young adults into their communities.
Miracle Milk Ministry: a ministry that provides nutritional care to various children living in institutions in their community.
Hope Farm: the future home base of their holistic ministries to the HIV+ orphans and widows, their children, and the church. It will be a place for equipping, encouraging, and empowering while also providing a place for rest and restoration.

Plans for 2026:
Our desire is to build the Primary Care and Counseling Center at Hope Farm in 2026! The architectural plans are finished. We are praying for the construction permit to be approved quickly, and for the building to be completed in record time— with all necessary funds provided by God through his people.

Dream:
Our dream is to see God provide for the entire Hope Farm master plan. This would enable us to finish every building and fully equip the ministry. We dream of a day when Hope Farm is filled with HIV-positive widows and young adults eager to learn, grow, and find hope through the opportunities offered there. We look forward to many at Hope Farm coming to know Christ personally, with new leaders rising among them to share his hope with others affected by HIV.

Finally, we are praying for God to provide the funds needed for us to purchase a piece of property for our local congregation—a multi-use space for outreach, transformation, and discipleship, where many would experience God’s love and grow in faith.

Darko & Gorana Mikulic

Slavonski Brod, Croatia

Darko was raised in a Christian home and was saved at an early age. In high school, the Lord called Darko to full-time ministry, so he went on to attend International Evangelical Theological Seminary in Osijek, Croatia. The Lord has blessed Darko and Gorana with four children: two girls and two boys. In addition, Darko and Gorana are fostering four children.

In 1999 Darko and Gorana were part of a church planting team in Slavonski Brod. With a population of 70,000, Brod was the largest Croatian town at that time without any evangelical church. For over two decades of faithful service, they are thankful for a small but dedicated growing body of believers who love the Lord and are being transformed into Christlikeness. Recently, with the help of many Fellowship members who have been a part of the summer and winter programs that their church runs, they have seen some strong and encouraging growth in the youth of their community.

Both Darko and Gorana were refugees during the Yugoslav Wars in the early 90’s and from that they became very aware of the needs for those without a safe and stable home environment. That is one of the reasons that they have worked so hard to see their vision for the House of Hope come to fruition. The House of Hope will be a community resource for foster families, single parents, and children in need. As foster parents themselves, they have firsthand experiences of how challenging it can be to care for vulnerable children and they desire that this house will be more than just a structure but a beacon of light for those in challenging home situations to find hope, help and healing.

Plans for 2026:
That the House of Hope would be fully completed—floors, tiles, bathrooms, doors, heating, and furnishings—ready to be used for Kingdom purposes.

Dream:
That the House of Hope will be filled with young people who were once fatherless and lost, now finding new life, purpose, and belonging in the love of their Heavenly Father. We long to see true disciples of Jesus growing in faith, guided by mentors who equip and serve them with Christ’s love. Our dream is for the House of Hope to be a place of redemption, restoration, and discipleship—a light to the community of Slavonski Brod. We pray that our church will grow strong in love, faith, and number, becoming a lighthouse for the region and inspiring new Bible-believing churches to be planted so that every person might hear the good news of the Gospel.
