![]() June 2008 Love and joy are coming from the Cross through God's servants... We feel honored to be useful for God for spreading of hug,love,hope, joy and smile to everyone who need...In May, together with our friends and ministers Icho and Natasha, we had the privilege to travel in some European countries...A long time ago God had put in our hearts to go to Holland, so being faithful to His voice we got on the van and went there...We had sent information some time ago about what happened during that trip, how the van broke down and that later we understood it was God's plan to meet us with a woman who needed to hear about Jesus and who accepted Him... We ministered to a family with 10 children:))) Through the word of knowledge which God gave to Zhoro for one of the daughters her life was changed and she was encouraged...a pastor placed on a crossroad and again with words of knowledge we encouraged him and God spoke straight to his heart and that gave clarity for his life... We received a call a couple of days ago from people attracted by God's love who shared how different their life was now and how happy they were that God had sent us there...They are waiting for us to visit them again and they want "more of this love" WOW....
After that we visited a very interesting conference in North Wales where a revival started from many years ago... We saw in reality how to become like the children, the "children" of God were really happy, dancing, singing, laughing and doing everything that the Holy Spirit wanted from them...Great time in the river and the anointing of God... We passed through France- Paris. There lives a small group of Bulgarians who needed "fresh food","fresh words"... Of course we had enough of this and gave it away with joy... We got back very tired, but much encouraged and pleased we were in God's hand and He did what He wanted to... After a week at home we went again on a mission in Greece where our "babies" were waiting for us... With tears in their eyes they hugged and kissed us telling us never to leave them...we had the opportunity to enjoy a wedding, we were invited to a conference to take part in...there were about 60 Bulgarians...Praise the Lord religion is breaking apart and the freedom of Jesus takes much more place... Now we are at home and devoted ourselves to our children in Brestnitsa who are still in hardship because of the heat and the unemployment...some of them put only bread on their tables and maybe some salt, sometimes soup made of the plants from the field...it's really hard but we are amazed that despite of this they love God so much, they eat from His word and consume everything from Him...
Every day we thank God for you because without you we can't do even a small part of this which we have the opportunity to do now...You are part of these missions and the only thing we can be proud of is that there are so obedient God's children ready to do His will... Blessings, joy, love and smiles for you...and with love, Zhoro and Mariana Penchev ![]() News from Brestnitsa Yes, God is good! Joy and love were pouring in Brestnitsa, Bulgaria from our friends Icho, Natasha, Jordan and Kosi...on the way to our treasures we blew a tyre and Zhoro and Mariana couldn't go there, but the other families did and shared they were welcomed with love and joy...
When the two families got back in Sofia they were talking about the anointing of Dad that filled every one of them...They love us and all the time were asking for us, Zhoro and Mariana (Dad and Mummy) ha ha ha... You can see their joy on the pictures... Blessings and Cheers... Zhoro and Mariana Penchev ![]() Celebrating the Ressurection of Jesus He was really resurrected!!! New Life Ministry, Sofia, Bulgaria had a great celebration for the victory on the Cross...With many songs, joy, smiles, strong words, testimonies from our missionaries in Turkey – the Jordanidis family, fire and much life from our missionaries in Greece – the Badovs, and great word from apostles Zhoro and Mariana Penchev we celebrated the resurrection of Christ...Pastor Remzi and Asya Remzievi had a wedding anniversary and it was really great for us from all different countries God had sent us to be together...
Of course we were also at the caravans to our precious friends to encourage them...what we saw was really painful, because their leader is abroad and had left them... we don't have the opportunity to be with them all the time, but only once monthly and people hugged us and cried...they were saying that it's only us who love them and the only who take care...they shared it's really hard for them without pastor to gather them together...We prayed for them, encouraged them and left with hurt hearts... we pray God to put leader who has heart for these people and loves them and to serve them with the Holy Word...We will be really thankful if you pray for these people and let God take care for their need of pastor... In Perea, Thessaloniki - Greece the love of God is pouring like a waterfall...
Our missionaries Icho and Natasha shared us with big joy for the moving of God in this place... we had bought food, they prepared big table and people were much happy from the love we give them...they had prayed and some people there shared they felt something different inside them,something they have never felt- the anointing of the Holy Spirit...Praise the Lord, glory to our Father...We are happy for the celebration they had and that the Cross was shared again... Blessings to everyone who supported us by praying and we are thankful for every giving...Everything is in His hands... With much love in Jesus, Zhoro and Mariana Penchev ![]() March/April 2008 WOW...How great is Christ...with joy we want to share His Wonderful love and mercy He has for his children... Our friends and missionaries Icho and Natasha who devoted their life together with us in Greece made a trip to Skopie, Macedonia where God brought us some time ago because of a vision He had given to one of our musicians from the group...we haven't visited them for a long time, but when they saw our friends they were extremely happy...
Today we had a great privilege to visit Brestnitsa, Bulgaria (near Sofia)...
One week ago and we were told many of them were ill having pneumonia, some have tuberculosis because they don't have beds and sleep on the floor during the cold winter...we shared this need in some places and they were given some furniture and one couch, one bed and PRAISE THE LORD for this...We pray God to think of more beds so that everybody who is in need could have one...we are also planning to buy them cattle so they will have food ...our projects for the different places are described here for all who want to be part... Last week we were in Athens, Greece too...for a pity we learned that the neighborhood God gave us to seed with His love is destroyed...all houses are
thrown down and our "treasures" were not there, but despite we decided to go round the region and we found some small sheds and there were a few people
we shared Jesus with...we are happy people were open and listened carefully, they were asking different questions... Perea-Thessaloniki is our aim...things there sometimes go fast sometimes slowly...it's not an easy work with people there because they are not serious enough, but start to think of building some place to be their church...this makes us happy...we visit them often when we have opportunity to share the Word with them, answer their questions, discuss things and pray for different needs... We want to ask you to pray with us for them because they want to ask the Government to let them buy this place and to set electricity and water there. ..Amen!We are happy to feel God's heartbeat and to be part of His plan...we feel honored and privileged to be useful tools in God's hands... Thanks for every prayer and financial partner...May God bless your life abundantly! Blessings and joy, Zhoro and Mariana Penchev ![]() January 2008 Hi dear friends, Thank you for the praeyrs and the love...we feel honored to know you and we enjoy our friendship... We came back from Greece with big joy from the miracles God did...it was really great time and we are happy that Dad uses us... So we arrived on 10 January in Tessaloniki in the house we hired...our friends who are part of our ministry were in France for a year, but now God's calling brought them to Greece...we started arranging the house with the furniture and the blessings people were giving us...people were happy to have us there and they came every night hungry and thirsty for the Holy Spirit, His word, the presence and the anointing... Every free time in the evening our house is full with people waiting us to share the word of God with them, to pray and praise Lord...during the other evenings we visit the poor Gypsy neighborhood, where we build contacts with a wonderful family...this family welcomes us with much love every time... we also visit some churches where we have many friends and there pastor Zhoro shares the revelation of Jesus on the cross... A couple of days ago two men accepted Jesus in their hearts and we are happy to see light in their eyes from the joy of the salvation...There was a girl ( we was told there was a magic made upon her and because of this she looked intoxicated) we prayed for her and on the next day we were told that she had a dream in which she saw ugly creatures leaving her house and Jesus walked inside the house saying He will live with her... We visited a church in Larisa. Before the service while talking with the pastor of this church the powerful Holy Spirit came down and a sister of our team (her name is Natasha) started shaking and shared God's word for this pastor. The pastor was very encouraged and he knows God is with him. The neighborhood where our house was - for 3 services there 4 people returned with new fire for God... We want to ask you to pray for us because the neighborhood where we hired placed to live has extremely many drug addicts, even the "palace" next to us belongs to their dealer ... we believe for a change in this neighborhood and the Holy Spirit will start living there and people will be saved... We'll be happy if you pray also for the poor neighborhood - the joy of God to fill every home and the Kingdom to be filled with new souls... Once again thank you for everything and we pray God to bless abundantly your life... With love and thankfulness, Zhoro and Mariana Penchev ![]() December 2007 Great miracles...joy and love...Dad is so good...He gave us wonderful testimonies which we want to share with you friends and give thanks to our prayer partners and financial partners... On December 24, 2007 early in the morning we started for Brestnitsa village (many people know it as "Pumpkin Lady") by the new van. Our friends,about 200 people, welcomed us in an extremely kind way...they hugged us, kissed us and were happy to have us there again...We celebrated Christmas with many dances,songs,word...We gave over 120 presents to the children and we were glad to see them smiling. Zhoro gave time to a person to speak about his testimony. This person had to stay in prison for 9 years. Because of a fighting with another prisoner he was put into the cooler. There in the dark he started looking for God,asking many questions: why is the reason for all troubles in me, why is all of this happening to me,God show me yourself if you are real... At once he saw burning star which stuck inside him quickly and he started shaking, suddenly the door opened and the director of the prison standing in front of him told him to go home...Now he is with his family and Zhoro encouraged him to love God with his whole heart and thank Him for the miracle... After we arrived in Sofia in a small and very poor neighbourhood which you know as Boxcar. People were happy to see us and there we left 45 gifts for the children...While Mariana was dancing with her "treasures" a woman came to testify something we had been waiting for 2 years. All this time we were praying for a young lady to have baby...We were so happy to hear this girl is pregnant now... Dad is so good... Later we visited another Gypsy neighbourhood in Sofia, where the worship team served great and brought joy to the people, pastor Zhoro shared great word that blessed many people. Again we made children happy with 40 presents. We went on celebrating whole night in the biggest Gypsy neighbourhood in Bulgaria,where we had hired a hall... It was intensive time at Christmas filled up with joy,happiness and dances... Be blessed and we wish you unforgettable year of many revelations... Zhoro and Mariana Penchev ![]() October 2007 God is so good and merciful...He did such great miracles, which we couldn't miss to share with all of you friends... Four weeks ago we were in Greece - Tessaloniki and we prayed for a baby 2 months old who had problems with the heart...doctors said he will live 8 days, but Dad said something else...pastor Mark was with us and he saw the desperation in the heart of the baby's father.The father didn't see any point to live, but when we asked him if he want us to pray for him and he nodded...then we laid our hands on his heart and 4 of us felt physically the strong beat of his heart...hope came upon him and today 4 weeks later the baby is alive and recovering... Last week, on October 14,2007 during the service a boy about 22 years old came - he was an orphan. He wanted us to pray for him because on Monday he had to have medical examination and be operated - his diagnosis was blood cancer... we prayed for him and encouraged him that God can do the miracle in the last moment...Jesus gave His life for him... We also encouraged the boy that Jesus' blood is flowing inside him - blood of life... On Friday we received a call that made us shout of joy...doctors examined the boy three times because THERE WAS NO MORE SICKNESS in his body...ALELUIA... God is a loving God who takes care for His children in the best... We believe these great testimonies encourage you and your ministry... Be blessed, Zhoro and Mariana Penchev |
