With Christmas on our doorsteps, Beth and I would like to
express our
deep appreciation for your partnership as we serve Christ in
Bulgaria.
We say this over and over again, running the risk that our words
lose
their meaning. Yet, without you, we could not be here. Without
your
gifts, our rent would not be paid, nor our food bought. Without
your
prayers we would be striving in our own strength. So, from our
hearts, we
thank you! We wish you and your families a wonderful celebration
of His
incarnation!
with the love of Christ is a way
we seek to make known His
hope. Working with a Med
Team coming from the US, we
partnered with a local church
in Parzardzhik to serve over
100 folks, mostly elderly
seeking help. More
important than the number, was the
quality of time team members spent with each personnot simply
addressing their physical needs, but going deeper to the needs
of their hearts. Team members Boian and Greg (right) pray with
one lady
whose physical need brought her into the presence of Christ.
Ruthie Aase
(left) is one of our MTW interns who came last June,
participated in The Well and extended her time of service by
several months. Ruthie is an RN and worked as part of the Med
Team. She, along with fellow-intern, Ali Morgan, will
be leaving us in January returning to the US after serving 7
months working primarily with English clubs. They will be
missed!!! Pray for the impact of the Med team that the local
church can follow-up with those helped.
Through rain, ice and snow, we continue to visit our Daughters
on the Ring
Road every Sunday evening. We gather for prayer at 5PM and seek
to beon the road by 6:30 (11:30AM Eastern time!) serving hot tea,
coffee and
Christ-flavored fellowship on the side of the road, as cars and
semis rush
by. What a joy it is to see their faces, revealed by our
headlights,
transformed from the prostitute look to softer faces with smiles
and joy
after they recognize us. Driving the mini-van, and seeing
this
transformation, both warms my heart and breaks it at the same
time! Oh
Jesus! Let these precious ones know you! Pray!! On December
23rd
we
will bring Christmas to the Ring Road gifts not only for the
Daughters,
but for their children too. Through tangibly demonstrating
Christs love,
week after week, we are seeing God work! Keep reading

Lydia (right) along with Bulgarian partner Lora,
are working together to facilitate a new English
Club outreach in downtown Sofia in partnership
with First Evangelical Church.
More than a year ago the DofB team made first contact with M.
After
a number of visits with M the following weeks, she expressed a
desire to
improve the small grasp of the English language she had to
perhaps,
open a path to a different way of life. Even though we made
an
overture to help her with this, like so many Daughters we meet,
M
disappeared from the Ring Road and only recently, did we
regaincontact with her. Neither
she nor we had forgotten
about this fragile
opportunity to meet with
M off the Road.
PRAY! Tomorrow, a
meeting has been arranged with M to meet with Lydia and Anni
(Bulgarian DofB team member) to begin helping her learn English!
This
meeting would represent the first opportunity to meet with
any
Daughter in a context
removed from the Road.
Lydia Goeglein (who is our
niece!), came to Bulgaria a few years ago to teach in our
missionary kid
school, SCA. Today she heads up our Teaching English
community
outreach working with interns and Bulgarian partners.
Over the last year, the Teaching English ministry has grown in
wonderful
ways under Lydias leadership! Pictured to the left is an
impromptu get-
together at our flat. Our interns meet with Bulgarians for
English Clubs
and what naturally follows are the invites to come! What a joy
to me
when our table talks become a platform for ministry! The young
men
sitting across are both searching for Truth! Pray that our
English Clubscontinue to challenge Bulgarians who are searching by
demonstrating Christs love through teaching English, and also
let the clubs continue to open doors to share the hope of
Christ!
