The trip to Bulgaria was highly successful in many ways. First, we preached the gospel in many areas of need. We crisscrossed the nation a few times, going to Sofia, Varna, Burgas, and Sandanski. We preached 12 times in three weeks, had multiple nights of festival/crusades, and saw 5-6,000 ministered to by the power of God.
Many new lives brought into the kingdom, kidneys healed, spirits driven out, eyesight restored, but most of all, the love of Jesus was tangible to thousands. The churches are experiencing increase already! Like in Acts 8, we saw great joy in each city and peace released. The public was shocked that a church group could carry out such amazing events. The volunteers and churches worked diligently, and strong relationships formed. Harvest is still being reaped. To God be all the glory! Despite the circumstances around us in this world, God is making ways for us to get into the nations. He desires to mend every broken heart, pull those in darkness into the light, and heal those suffering from sickness and disease. So, let’s take full advantage of these open doors we have right now to share God’s love in word and action in Bulgaria. We have Pastors all over Bulgaria that are willing and excited to join with us to win souls and grow the local church. Their leaders are ready to jump in and be a part of the team. There is an excitement and expectation of what God is going to do this summer in us and them.
God is leading us to set our goals high and take a jump. This June, we are preparing for three festivals in 3 different cities. We're also planning to give out meals/groceries where needed (Sofia, most likely), and help with a church building program. Another goal is to train church members and leaders to evangelize their communities and reach for more, with each part of the body doing its part to advance God’s Kingdom. We will potentially be in Bulgaria longer than usual to accomplish this. With travel difficult right now, the goal is to get as much done as possible in one trip. Thank you for your prayers, giving, and support! |
