Hello Friends! We’re getting busier--we have had a full
three months starting with September. Our goal – to continue to build ministry
teams in the area of mission to youth and orphans, religious freedom, and
church reformation – seems to be growing clearer. Our connection with the Welsh
church is also growing stronger. We believe that relationships founded in
Christ and the application of His Word are fundamental for the Christians of
the last times. Therefore, we must live lives worthy of the blood of Jesus and
call other Christians to serve God with all they have. We can see this
direction growing stronger in what we do here, although it cannot be easily
calculated with the usual way of doing statistics.
Fall VBS with the Welsh Women’s Team. The visit
of the eight sisters from Wales, from churches in Llanelli and Cardiff, was a
powerful time. We had praise and worship in the two orphan homes near Vidin.
Besides the times of prayer and testimonies, the ladies organized classes on
music, arts and crafts, and games with the kids. Buglarian and Welsh volunteers
joined together in the time with the kids from the home. The presence of the
Holy Spirit was so evident and heavy that we continued our time of fellowship
and prayer in Vidin as well.

Prophetic School 2 in Sofia. A Prophetic
School is a three-day (9 meetings) event of teachings from the Bible.
During this time we seek to train Christians for a closer walk with Jesus and a
bolder outlook on their gifts and calling in the Lord. Stuart Watkins, our
brother and co-worker from Wales, myself and Yavor are at the core of the
teaching-training activities, yet it is the Holy Spirit who moves to equip His
people. Stuart and I teach, Yavor leads worship. We had about twenty attendants
from all over the country but mainly from a town in the southern part of
Bulgaria – Pazardzhik. It was a good time of teaching, prayer, fellowship and
encouragement. Toward the end of the school the presence of God was so strong
that during the last session, while giving their testimonies, people could not
stand on their feet. They had to sit down or even lie on the floor right after
they gave their testimony! People testified of their hearts being touched and
refreshed by God. Tes, baby Noah and Dan and Matt also attended several
sessions. The boys were convicted by the Holy Spirit of old sins and they went
running to mom to confess and repent! We intend to continue with this format of
training the saints for the work of the ministry. Our next School will be at
the end of February, 2006.

Prophetic Conference in Dobrich, Bulgaria, failed (Nov. 21).
Unfortunately, the group who had invited us for training rejected our ministry
in the town of Dobrich. The schedule was set for three days with prayer in the
morning and public meetings in the evening. The first evening we had dinner
together with a part of the group (about 10 people). Stuart, Yavor and I shared
how we saw our time together and that we felt they were at a new beginning and
needed vision and direction (we had previously meet with a part of this group
on a different occassion and connected with them). The next morning, after the
prayer meeting, the leaders of the group advised us that what we have to offer
is not needed for their spiritual unity and build-up. They informed us that
they had vision, direction, and all the tools necessary to make it. The
spiritual leader of this group of Christians made a point that they “had seen
it all” and that we did not have anything new to offer. To make a long story
short—we left after that morning’s prayer meeting with the feeling that these
guys’ spiritual pride was more dear to them than what the Lord wanted to do
during our time together. We rescheduled our trip to Iasi, Romania, and
extended it by two days.
Prophetic Conference in Iasi, Romania (Nov.22-28). We
(Yavor, Stuart and I) had an awesome time in Iasi, and even on the way there,
in the car. The Holy Spirit was present with us while we were driving for 7
hours through Romanian territory. We felt God speaking about revival in Romania
and that He had intentions no man can thwart. Stuart even saw angels
accompanying the car! The time with the dear Romanian saints in Iasi was
remarkable as usual. We held a prophetic conference on Fri and Sat and God’s
Spirit was moving and encouraging the
believers to hold on to His Word and put it into practice; and prepare
themselves for the supernatural visitation of God. We also took part in their
Sunday evening public service and the leaders’ meeting on Monday. Tuesday, Nov.
28 our team was back in my VW on the way to Sofia.
