Operando Society

The word Operando comes from Latin word ‘Opera’, which means ‘creation’ (creational work). It indicates current activity and can be best described with a sentence: Dio sta operando or God is working (right this moment). The idea for the name of the society originates precisely from this truth: God is working – healing, saving, donating, creating – right now! Or as Jesus said: My Father has never stopped working, and that is why I keep on working.(John 5:17) The Journey Spouses Silva and Nace Volčič have departed to a global journey on March 31st, 2016. Travelling from community to community, from mission to mission, wherever good and honest people do their best to help the poorest among us – marginalized, ignored and pushed aside. Testimonial Travelling the world, Silva and Nace testify to the work of God, realized through these people. They write about it and therefore direct the reader’s attention to a good and positive news. This is in contrast to the mass media, where we read a daily basis that wars, unrest and unhappiness is all that is happening in this world right now. Donation Being actively involved, they donate their time and work for each community, where they are accommodated. At the same time readers of this blog are encouraged to participate with their financial donations for the specific needs of their current dwelling community. Our mission: Operando’s mission is to connect its members and encourage people to be charitable and pray for one another. Members of Operando Society believe that God is calling us to three basic aims of our Christian life: The Path Jesus calls us to walk on his path and be witnesses of his work, which takes place among people, especially the poorest. Our inspiration comes from the word: Jesus was going through towns and villages, telling the good news about God’s kingdom.(Luke 8,1) Bear witness Jesus calls us to worship and bear witness about his work among people so they can see, hear and feel him too. Our inspiration comes from the word: … and no one would light a lamp and put it under a clay pot. A lamp is placed on a lampstand, where it can give light to everyone in the house.(Matthew 5,15) Sacrifice Jesus calls us to sacrifice our time, talents and gifts for other people, especially the poorest. Our inspiration comes from the word: Whenever you did it for any of my people, no matter how unimportant they seemed, you did it for me.(Matthew 25,40)
