Encouraging Night in Gefyra and Bulgaria Mission Ahead

This week we had a special house meeting in the town of Gefyra. My granddaughter Charis Krouscas, an All-American Lacrosse player, gave her testimony. Then her father, my son Pastor Jim, shared an encouraging message.

The twenty people gathered, most from the Orthodox Church, were both blessed and impressed—especially as they learned about Lacrosse for the first time. I was reminded of the good race that Paul describes to Timothy:

Fight the good fight of the faith.
Take hold of the eternal life to which
you were called when you made your good
confession in the presence of many witnesses.

1 Timothy 6:12

From June 29 – July 5, four of us will travel to Bulgaria for the Annual Roma Pastors’ and Wives’ Conference for fellowship and training. This conference has been sponsored by The Macedonian Outreach for over thirty years. We will also visit some small churches in the area to encourage the believers and participate in the Sunday morning service of the Roma Church in Yastrebovo before we return home.

Your prayers for safe travels and fruitful ministry would be greatly appreciated.
