6 Months and Counting...

It has been a while since our last blog and there has been sooo much going on! We have been here in Bulgaria for the past 6 months and what a journey it has been. It has been such an amazing experience, and there have been trials, as there are with every new season, and the adjustment has not been easy. However God is faithful and we know that we are smack dab in the middle of His will for our lives.

Easter Sunday

As far as being a part of Zoe Church, at the end of May we celebrated Orthodox Easter with our biggest service yet. There were 200 in attendance and 13 decisions for Christ. The following week we were hoping to ride the momentum  - however, the secret police shut down our planned venue due to government elections. What an adventure. Welcome to Bulgaria! Church is thriving and we are enjoying being a part of healthy, growing church.


On the A21 side, things are busy as well. The Gypsy Outreach is going well with 30-50 kids attending. We are just in the beginning stages of making a difference and we constantly looking for ways to help the families living there rise above their circumstances. Roma are some of the most poor and marginalized people groups here in Bulgaria. It has been both rewarding and challenging adjusting to yet another culture, but I believe we are making a difference. As we move ahead, we are looking into different ways of meeting their needs and moving the community forward.

A few days ago as an amazing answer to prayer, we received our 1 year residency cards which allow us to remain in the country for one more year. We were both surprised and blessed by Hope Church in Japan and Pastors Steven and Shelley Kaylor in that they paid for our visas. It was such an answer to prayer and we are forever grateful for their investment in us.






God is so faithful in how He using Zoe Church and A21 in Bulgaria. We are so blessed to be a part of this amazing journey!
