This coming Sunday all the churches in Bulgaria are planning on a silent protest and prayer time on the parliament steps. We have no idea what the law would mean except that it will not be good for evangelical churches – how we train pastors, receive contributions and even hold services. Please keep praying against this proposed law.

Additionally, we have a concern that we are involved with here in Bulgaria. When we first came to Bulgaria we need an invitation from an existing Church in order to come – the organization we worked through provided that by asking an existing church to invite us to come. Now that we are a recognized church in Bulgaria we often do this for other missionaries coming. One of the ones we are helping is a Young Life Missionary – but because someone in Bulgaria does not like him – they are filing complaints and because we are the supporting church we are being brought into the process. – Pray for and about this matter that again God would intervene and it would work out for His Glory!
