February 7, 2019 - Today I want to share a post from the Galloways about our church planting ministries
Today we brought a conclusion to our Bulgarian church plant project that included 6 new churches. For two years (starting in March of 2017), they have been faithful to come to trainings, learn and grow in God's love and His righteousness, and grow as leaders to love and serve God's people. What an honor as a team to continue to raise one another up to encourage and grow one another for His glory!
What a team of Bulgarians, Roma, Americans and those of different cultures to work among one another, lifting one another up for the sake of the gospel. It is truly an honor to serve among such an amazing group of people!
Pastor John Donnelly did an absolutely amazing job of celebrating and ending off this project. Jill Sweet and David Sweet serve with such selflessness, Ross Manolov and Pawel Nikolow translate so beautifully, Борислава Захариева ordered such a beautiful cake, Любен Илиев encouraging us from his hospital bed, and Petra being the strong mother hearted one for the community. I'm overflowing with the fruit God is producing in this land....good, quality, servant-hearted, men and women of incredible integrity and character and love for God and for one another....we are not bosses, we are mothers and fathers with the heart of the true Father.
He is good
This fall we will begin 3 new church planting projects - One in Bulgaria, one in North Macedonia and one in Serbia - Please pray for these project as now is when we are selecting leaders, locations and raising the funds to make them happen.
Pray also for the store in Michigan -with the cold, snow and ice sales have been impacted - pray for this extension of our economic ministries, pray for sales and pray for the artisans who products we sell - the more we sell the more they can make to support their families.
Pray too for the support of all of Team Balkans - each missionary support, our country expenses, and the special projects all need funds right now. But we know God can and will provide!,
