We are back again at home!

After 20 days in Thessaloniki, it is a miracle we could get back in Bulgaria without any problems because for 2 weeks the borders between Greece and Bulgaria have been closed. There is a strike in Greece which covers all border areas with Macedonia, Turkey and Bulgaria, but we managed to go back home by God's wisdom before they closed all borders...Glory to God!

We are very happy to share with you how blessed we were to see our friends in Greece. Perea is a Gypsy neighbourhood that was put in our hearts directly from the Holy Spirit. A major challenge was the language, but the love of God removes all obstacles. Everyone was happy to see us, they hugged and kissed us, they started to call out loud their neighbours inviting them to come and see us. We are ambitious to learn the Greek language and to communicate easily with the people there.

We shared the Word, some testimonies, we showed them photos and video materials, we prayed for different needs and we were so happy to see the son of a couple we know well to be burning for the Word of God. He reads the Bible, prays and in the last year we feel that God wants to use him as a leader in his neighbourhood. He asked us many questions and we were very excited to answer them. When we first found this neighbourhood, thats boy was 10 and now he is 17-years-old, he has a wonderful smile, full of joy and enthusiasm. We see the leader in him and we pray for God's protection in his life.

Dentropotomo is another Gypsy neighbourhood where we rented a house in 2008 and used to help the church there. Pastor Stefanos is a blessed man of God, he is Greek with a heart full of love for the Gypsies. After 2 heart attacks, he continues to take care of the people, to love them and to be there while God is giving him life and strength... We went there without warning anybody and about twenty children rushed toward us and started to kiss and hug us, and all friends were happy to see us. Of course, they wanted us to share some Word and encourage them. We saw work-worned people who were hungry for the fresh words.

In 2008, God gave us a Spiritual child and we were happy to see him now. He doesn't stop searching the truth for Christ on the Cross. We are glad he is not hungry for religion but for the joy of the truth... We met many Bulgarians living in Thessaloniki and they welcomed us with joy and wanted us to start a church in their neighbourhood. We saw the enormous field God has and also the harvest which is too much for us and we cannot do everything. We pray for "workers" and we believe God will take care.

We are thankful for every support and we are happy we are not alone and have friends, brothers and sisters with the same heart! We also saw some houses suitable for a Missionary Center which we want to build there. Next month we'll see a few other places and we believe God will show us what He has for the Ministry.

We believe you are blessed and encouraged. We know God has much to do there trough us. Thank you!

Blessings,

January - 1st part

Dear friends, we are already in Greece and we are very excited with the new challenges and blessings waiting for us! With God we are ready to welcome everything He puts before us!

God gave a word for us this year and it is: "to restore, to renew, to rebuild"; a time when we'll see His love with new power; time when the Cross will be clearly raised and the new life he gave us will be shown in a new way; the love and the joy we bring will restore, renew and rebuild... We put our life in this and we know He has a great plan... We believe we'll share soon the new testimonies...

We are thankful for each prayer and financial partner because we know that without your help it would be difficult for us to be HISTORY-MAKERS. We are blessed to know each one of you and we pray God to fill you more and more with His Grace and heavenly gifts will be widely open around you!

Blessings, joy and love,

2010 for NLM

We want to share with you friends how excited we are about the blessed time we had in Brestnitsa. What joy, what love, what hunger for God! We really haven't seen another place like this one... Princes and princesses of the Great and the Mighty.

The wind of the Holy Spirit moves there with great power. It could be named REVIVAL! People from nearby villages go there to see what's going on with those people... WOW, that's amazing! God touches our hearts through them and we have tears of joy and love in our eyes. Pastor Toshko shared with us they asked him what they have to do to feel like Mariana crying from joy:))) They look for a way to comfort God, that's amazing...

We also visited Boxcar and unfortunately, we cannot say there is the same joy there. There are big challenges, because of the change needs grow larger. They need fast change in their social life, they need a good leader, they need to be taught how to be responsible; they are losing the love and the unity between them and this makes their life worse with each new day. We saw a lot of pressure and despair...

We'd like to ask you to pray for this place and if God gives some word and wisdom, please share it with us. We had some meetings with the mayor of the area and he wants us to write a letter in which to describe what we want, and we are going to do this. But the truth is that the Government doesn't want to do anything to promote change in the life of these people, that's very sad.

This month we are in Greece and we'll be glad and thankful if you support us in a prayer...We go there to water what we sow and let God make it grow...

Thank you for all the support and let HISTORY-MAKERS like you be abundantly blessed,
