Bulgaria
September 1-17, 2021
We have just returned home from our first Balkan project (Bulgaria), and it was amazing. We held a festival for three nights in this Roma (gypsy) community and it was powerful and life changing. Not only did the whole community of around 1,500 hear the gospel for three solids nights, but many heard about a Savior who love them and hadn’t abandoned them. Many were healed including a sweet lady named Katya with stomach cancer (Watch video above). She had been given a short time to live by the Dr. in that community, but by the power of God was completely healed and even has the doctors report to prove it. Praise God! Another young man who had surgery to repair his legs from a bad accident, had come out of the surgery with nerve damage. After April prayed for him, we tested out his legs, and to his amazement he was totally healed. His mother was crying with joy on the side of the stage. Jesus was, is, and will always be the healer!!
Albania
July 10-20, 2021
Albania was a major success! It was our first time in Albania, our first time to do a virtual festival (Partnering with Global Ventures) and we learned a lot. There were many God encounters with people and lives were changed. We did one-on-one evangelism, a water project, food distribution, and shared the gospel in crowds in the communities. We led 1,784 people to Christ and we also witnessed 82 healings! There was a main virtual festival and a children’s festival over social media and they had a total of 21,454 views!
Croatia 2020 Report
Croatia was a very successful trip! While we were there, we were able to teach on evangelism in a Dunamis bible school with Seth and Shelly Gunter and minister in several churches. One day, we went on the streets in Split with the students and taught one-on-one evangelism. April was even able to train a group of middle school students and taught them how to be clowns and minister to others. We had a great time!! The children do monthly outreaches, so they are better equipped to preach Jesus!
In the second half of the week, our focus was on laying the groundwork for a future festival. We traveled to three different cities, where we met with different contacts. The final town has very good potential to be our starting city, it’s a town of over ten thousand and about an hour and a half outside of Split, Croatia. The pastor we met there is a missionary from Argentina and already has a general understanding of the size of the festivals and what it looks like. This is great news because when we go into new places the first roadblock we normally hit is resistance to the size of the festival or the mindset that this has never been done here before. We have to introduce them to the potential and possibilities, and start the beginning groundwork. Prayer is critical during this planning time as it’s a big undertaking on both sides. We’re thrilled with the progress that was made on this trip! Thank you for investing and being a part of the beginning stages of our project in Europe!!
