On Sunday, July the 2nd, we celebrated God’s faithfulness by dedicating the new church in Yastrebovo. The first Christian church in this town ever! It was such a praise to God! We cried from joy, laughed, sang and prayed!
Gopi finally got the cross and the bell in the new church. Eventually I will send you a video so you can hear the bell. There were ten Americans and one Greek pastor among those that came to celebrate. We had about 130 people. 50 percent of the town! What a glory to God. All this He did through prayer and generous giving by some very generous people!
Praise God that 17 years ago he brought us together with Gopi and eventually Reni through our American missionaries, Keth and Margie Brown. What a dedicated couple serving in Bulgaria for 20+ years.
Elaina with her sisters and friends raised over $600 to buy food for a very poor ghetto where people still live in chicken coops!
This was a day of hard work but the joy on the people’s faces made it all worth it!
Gopi and his wife Reni. What a blessed dedicated couple!
DAY OF CELEBRATION!
Jim and Pantelis did the dedication service!
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHURCH EVER!
