This past month our team found ourselves working in Roma communities for the most part. Travelling to various cities preaching, sharing our story, and praying for people that were sick, oppressed or just wanted more of God and who he is.
Other days were filled with going to orphanages to spend time with the orphans, cleaning yards, or paint the inside of parts of the buildings.
This whole month was my favourite month.
I loved the ministry this past month. Whether it was working in the Roma communities, Orphanages, or helping teach singing or guitar. The best part of our ministry for me was our contacts, our translators and the church that felt like my family. Even if it was for only one month I was there. They are my family forever.
Yavor, our main contact was simply incredible. He was trusting the moment we met him and he took care of us and invited us into his family with open arms. The kind spirit he carries and the love he has for the people of the city and the country of Bulgaria was something that is very admiring.
Victor, Yavor's brother, always spoke boldly and for me I knew he spoke from his heart and in the spirit. Though we didn't always get to spend time with him I know that he is a man after God who would fight for the Lord's justice.
Teresa, Victor's wife, I saw saw her as having a gentle and humble spirit. She spoke calmly and boldly and honestly is a Proverbs 31 woman. Artistic and kind she always had an openness towards us and took time to pour into our team. Even if she didn't know that she was.
Auchi, is a teddy bear (not really, but he's so wonderful). He owns the shop in the basement of the club, but he has become family to the Kostov family. I have seen the kids jumping, hugging, attacking and Auchi just holding them like an awesome uncle would. He is so kind and tenderhearted.
Bisa, our room mate for the month. He was incredible, there were days he would wake in the middle of the night to let people into the apartment. He shared his story with us which I would say would make a great novel. He then made us dinner on two occasions which was so delicious. He is simply a remarkable man.
Sarah, is beautiful and one of the most wonderful teenagers I have met. She is sweet and constantly strives to make others feel comfortable. She is open and caring, full of love and laughter. I am so blessed to have been able to spend the month getting to know her.
Daniel, whom we were able to share his sixteenth birthday with, is an incredible man. Talented musically and artistically. He is somewhat quite, and a thinker. Loves adventure, is so kind and such a sweet guy. I love that he writes music, and writes it from his heart.
Mattias, is funny, passionate and dedicated. Loves to be apart of what is going on and is a natural leader. He has a gentle and caring heart and has lots to say, but when he speaks it usually has wisdom in whatever he is talking about. He is just wonderful.
Philip, is awesome. I told him that if I were a boy that I would be like him. He's kinda a big gamer, but what I find great is how he tends to hurt himself constantly, which is what I have in common with the man. He is incredibly funny, even through translation. Wise and speaks in truth.
Noah, a hilarious six year old. Who loves to play ninja!
Each and every person I was blessed to work with this past month. Even ones I had not mentioned. Which include more of the youth, Paully, and pretty much all of Bulgaria. I will cherish each of them in my heart forever. They all helped and continue to help bring the kingdom of heaven to earth. I could go on continuously about each of them. There are so many wonderfully things about each of them that make them, them and make them uniquely great!
Thank you each of you for offering all of yourselves to bless our team and for shinning so brightly so that all may see His glory! I love each of you dearly and won't be the same because you are in my life, and I hope you all will be forever.
