August-September 2022
Building project in Karnobat– In our last letter I mentioned that I’d like to see the Lord provide another $12,000 to finish the project. I am grateful to report to you that in July $3600 was given and in August $3400 was given! We are grateful to each of you for giving and praying for this ministry. God is working in and through us! Little by little we are reaching these people with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. I believe and hope of course that once we move into the new location that it will give us the means by which to grow in every way. Bro. Asen, my wife Missy, and I were at the church today (9/5) painting the basement. We are planning for our opening service on October 2, 2022. That is quickly approaching. Our Pastor, Bro. Emanuel Rodriguez, and his wife, Maria, are going to be with us. It will be their first time here to visit us and we are excited about them coming, seeing the work firsthand, and getting to know our people.
Sowing the Word– Since returning to Bulgaria mid June we have been throughout 34 villages and small towns giving out the Bible portions. Our family, Bro. Sabin, and Bro. Slavi Dichev with his family have given out a total of 10,127 books! Approximately 155 books every day for 65 days. May the Lord make it to increase. What a privilege it is to serve the Lord Jesus and to have his saints backing you!
Please pray for a lady named: Rumyana Savova. I hope to visit her soon; and am praying for her salvation. We are praying for new people in Karnobat and the old timers to continue. We are also praying for some to return. Please continue to pray for the home group in Bulgarovo.
Answered prayer– From mid- May til end of June I was having a bout with my health. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis back in 2000. Sometimes I have flare ups. I started making my own kefir and began to drink it. Within two days I was back to normal. I’m grateful to the Lord to say the least.
Number 6: 24-26, The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
Yours in Christ Jesus,
