Believing Bees

It’s proven that bees can maintain a close relationship with humans. Honey bees live in well-organized colonies and they are best known for their production of honey, which they store in wax combs inside nests. Honey bees are generally active during spring and I would like to tell you a story about a particular group of bees in Minnesota.

Earlier this year somehow the bees of a beehive located close to Minneapolis heard about the building project of the church in Chicago and they decided to work very hard collecting honey from sunrise to sunset. Then a faithful sister from the local Bulgarian church collected the honey and put it into jars. She brought the full jars at the church conference in Houston and she sold the honey as the money were donated for the building project. I am excited to share with you that $50 were raised from the sale of this sweet precious product.

Thank God for the believing bees and faithful servants.

What happens in Vegas DOES NOT stay in Vegas

Dear friends,

Who said that what happens in Vegas should stay in Vegas!!!!

I am excited to share with you a story of a little group of believers that God planted like beautiful flowers in the dessert. The small Bulgarian church in the ‘Sin City” has collected $431 for the building project of our church in Chicago. Pastor Bakalov handed me the check at the Conference of the Bulgarian Churches that took place last week in Houston. Whatever God is doing in Vegas will go around the world and nobody can keep it in Vegas.
Thank you dear brothers and sisters for your sacrifice and encouragement.

Please pray for pastor Bakalov, his family and the church as 12 committed Christians are taking a step of faith and next year they will be hosting the 10th Conference of all Bulgarian churches in USA and Canada.

In Christ
