Gabi and I both grew up in traditional Orthodox families in North Macedonia. Although our families identified as Christian, we knew very little about Jesus or the Bible. In my family, faith was mostly a cultural tradition. My father, who was involved in the communist political system, refused to talk about God. 

In 2004, I began studying International Relations and Conflict Resolution at the University of Skopje. A year later, I met a Cru staff member who shared the Gospel with me. It was the first time I truly understood God's love and the message of salvation. God opened my heart, and I trusted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. My life changed completely. I left behind my old lifestyle, devoted myself to studying God's Word, joined Bible studies and Cru summer projects, and became part of a local Bible-believing church. 

I met Gabi in 2006 while she was in medical school. Like me, she had grown up with little knowledge of the Bible. As we read Scripture together, God drew her to Himself, and she also placed her faith in Christ. Following Jesus was not easy. Our families opposed our decision and did not understand our commitment to Christ, but God faithfully gave us wisdom, strength, and perseverance. 

After graduating, we sensed God's call to full-time ministry. Inspired by Jesus' words in Matthew 9:37–38 “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few” we joined Cru's student ministry in 2008. In 2022, we transitioned to the Global Church Movement team, where we now help plant and strengthen churches across North Macedonia. 

We were married in 2009 and God has blessed us with four wonderful children.  Luka 15, Filip 13, Adelina 9 & Anastasia 7.  

Serving the Lord has been one of the greatest joys of our lives. Over the past 18 years, we have had the privilege of seeing students, families, and communities transformed by the Gospel despite significant cultural and religious barriers. We are grateful to witness God's Kingdom continuing to grow in North Macedonia. 

Helping to fulfill the Great Commission in the power of the Holy Spirit by winning people to faith in Jesus Christ, building them in their faith and sending them to win and build others; and helping the Body of Christ do evangelism and discipleship. The key role of Global Church Movements ( GCM ) is to help fulfill the Great Commission through multiplication of biblical churches and faith communities. We fulfill our role by working together in the Body of Christ.

Win, build, and send Christ-centered multiplying disciples who launch spiritual movements.

Faith, Growth, and Fruitfulness.

Campus Crusade has no central funds for paying salaries and ministry expenses. That's why, if you feel concerned and share the same passion, in the name of Christ we invite you to be our ministry partner and support our ministry in this needy part of Europe. Your partnership would make an eternal difference in helping to bring the message of Christ's love and forgiveness to people in N. Macedonia. 

Blessings, 

Bobi and Gabi Jakimovski.

Kids: Luka, Filip, Adelina and Anastasia.
