Religious Liberty This work entails maintaining a web site with relevant religious freedom information and analysis on issues of religious liberty, freedom of speech and freedom of conscience in Bulgaria. Freedom for All is our online edition for dialogue on religious liberty in the nation. Viktor is the editor of the online magazine. We publish four issues a year. He also writes reports and articles on the religious laws in Bulgaria and on the proper view of church-state relations. Our vision is to translate the web site in English and make it a forum that reaches other nations in the Eastern European region where religious freedom is absent as is the free preaching of the Gospel of Christ. The Father's Heart: Ministry
to Youth and Orphans The
Father’s Heart
is a ministry to reach out to abandoned children in state institutions.
Through this work we mobilize Christians to bring the love of God, and
the good new of Jesus Christ to the kids through
regular visits to state-run orphan homes. Throughout the school year, and during vacation times, we hold
Vacation Bible Schools
(VBS) -- 2 to 5-day events.
Short term missionaries from churches in Wales, UK (and sometimes from
the US) regularly join us for this ministry. We also have trained and
support a team of volunteers from the local church in Vidin. They visit
weekly an orphanage in NW Bulgaria for 2-3 hours of Bible study, worship music and
building relationship. We visit other orphan homes around the country as well
in an effort to promote this ministry and build a network of youth
workers. We
have trained volunteers from various locations and churches in Bulgaria. In 2002 We started a team that teaches the Word, encourages people to follow Christ, and challenges the church to return to God’s New Testament standards. In our day and age of materialism and high-tech idolatry carelessness about the souls of men prevail. This requires that we strengthen the church by solid Spirit-filled and Bible-based teaching and ministry. Our goal is to encourage Bulgarian and Romanian Christians to live a committed life in Christ in a hostile environment. We believe that both growth in character and spiritual gifts can help toward a full maturity in the Lord. This work of encouragement for believers to grow in Christian gifting and character we call a prophetic ministry. The team travels to local churches to encourage believers and to minister the Word of God. We organize Prophetic Conferences at local churches--usually three days of Bible teaching, prayer and ministry. We also hold Prophetic Schools, usually in Sofia, where believers with stronger interest in growth as disciples of Christ come for a 3-day, 9-session seminar. Viktor
developed a
web site in Bulgarian with free resources for
Christians who want to grow in their relationship with Jesus. All
materials are being produced along the lines of the
team's
ministry. These are: The core team
members are: Stuart, a church leader from Wales; Yavor, a minister from NW Bulgaria; and Viktor. However, we also engage other Christians in volunteering to cover different areas of need for the work.
