- On February 8, 2024, a celebratory meeting of collaborators was held at Zagreb Baptist Church for the presentation of the booklet Challenge 40 "Create in Me a Clean Heart" which represents a reading plan in the time approaching Easter. The meeting marked the official launch of this year's Challenge 40, and many collaborators who contributed to this year's project in various ways were present.
Filip Grujić, pastor of BC Zagreb, in his opening words of welcome, emphasized that the reading plan of Challenge 40 "Create in Me a Clean Heart" invites readers to immerse themselves in the Book of Psalms in a special way and prepare for the celebration of Easter during 40 days, and he indicated that this year's Challenge 40, in addition to the printed form, would be in the "YouVersion Bible" and "Biblija365" applications and would be available from February 14.
In addition to Pastor Grujić, the editorial team of the booklet Challenge 40 "Create in Me a Clean Heart" also includes Sara Mačković, Svjetlana Mraz, Momir Blažek and Johann David Go. The proofreading was done by Tatjana Doračić, the English translation and proofreading by Charla Molvar, while the graphic design was done by Momir Blažek.
Encouraging stories and testimonies from previous "Challenge 40" were also shared with the common awareness that God can do much more than we pray and think when His Word touches and meets different people through these daily readings.
During the evening, music was performed by Mirjam Moguš on keyboards and Dora Malović on violin. At the end of the meeting, joint prayers were held and Pastor Grujić emphasized that 600 copies of the booklet "Challenge 40" will be sent to 17 churches in the Republic of Croatia, which are members of the Protestant Evangelical Council (PEV).
