Who are the heroes? YU heroes Danny & Vera Kuranji

We had the privilege of working alongside Danny & Vera Kuranji in Novi Sad, Serbia for two years in 1992-94.  This was during the "Bosnian War." We discipled some of the new believers they had led to Christ.  Danny & Vera founded the Christian Fellowship church in Novi Sad.  They also helped with providing physical needs of refugees from Bosnia and Croatia.

No immigrant since the 1970s has killed anyone in the US. https://www.facebook.com/phil.gottschal…/…/10208582350500166
