Bulgarian Christians helping transform Indonesian community in practical ways

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Ministry Update from Arnold Sigik, representative of the apostolic network of GEORGE BAKALOV MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL in Solo, Indonesia.

Dear friends,

On Sunday the 3rd this month, we went to visit Ps. Simon and his church. He was having a Sunday Service on 7.30 am, yes it is quiet early in the morning. 4 of us went there and gave him and his church a surprise visit, Dina my wife, Juan my son and Grandma my in-law. When we arrive there, the service already started. At least a song or two have been being sung. With a room of only about 3 meters width and 6-7 meters length, there are about 25-30 people. They even have a full set of band for the worship. Into the tight front-terrace, we saw some boxes piling up. They are a new set of tiles. When I asked Ps. Simon about this.. they are the tiles of the new public toilet. Wow.. it’s been just about a week after I got back from Sofia. Coming back with an offering for Ps. Simon, hoping that the fund would do some good for him and his people. And now, they are actually starting to build the project already.

June ministry trip in Maccedonia

Friday, July 02, 2010

Share |

With a population of 2 million, the Republic of Macedonia is landlocked country which was part of former Yugoslavia. George Bakalov Ministries has been supporting the work in Macedonia through our relationship with pastor Borche and Vesna Popovski. Not many people know that the city of Skopie is the birth place of Mother Teresa. This city of 500,000 populated by Macedonians with a substantial Albanian minority has just a couple of evangelical churches. The total number of Christians in Macedonia is considered to be around 2,000.

Recently I was able to minister at the church in Skopie as well as the church in Shutka - the town suburb populated predominantly with Roma people. I was joined by Ivan Vasilev from Breakthrough Christian Center in Sofia, who is a businessman and has the heart to travel and minister as well. For about three years the church led by pastor Borche has tried to get official church registration. Because of restrictive religious laws and the domination of the Orthodox church they were not able to obtain it. Three days before our arrival the church finally got their official registration from the government, which will open new doors for them to serve the local community.

Important Update from George Bakalov Ministries Intl.

Sunday, October 04, 2009

Share |

Dear Friends and Supporters of George Bakalov Ministries:

A huge part of my ministry in the last 20 years has been dedicated to our flagship church in Bulgaria -- Breakthrough Christian Center. However, the last season of the church has been rather challenging. I am glad to say this season is over and new one has begun.

I have just returned to Minnesota from my latest trip to Bulgaria and some changes have taken place, which I thought you might want to know about.

SOME BACKGROUND

Seven years ago I was led by the Lord to relocate our family to the United States and to begin to travel internationally. This resulted in number of developments and it impacted profoundly the completion of my formation as a minister. I really feel as if the last 20 years of ministry have been simply the time and the season for the Lord to form me as a leader and a minister. At 40 I feel ready for some things, while at the same time I feel less confident in my carnal self. I think this is a good place to be.

Hi George,

I recognize in your testimony that the Lord truly has re-ordered and re-focussed your steps and prepared you and leadership as new vessels for the new season. But it will be a season like we have never seen before!

What we see in Holland in the established churches is a tremendous shift especially in current leadership and not because of sin per say but it is really happening. People in leadership, some even in the close circle of the set man are leaving their church turf with much tears and hurt!

God at work and shaking in and out! We are tested and challenged. I shared this with Romero the other day because I felt in my spirit a strong sense of the new wine and new skins. It is really going on. And it hurts like never before but is necessary. Some symptoms ministers are facing are: a to the bone tiredness, a sense of 'I'm I really called to do this', Secret thoughts to give in or to give up, been hurt by others especially in the inner circle etc.

So I encourage you to push and proceed with a new fervency as you have never been pushing before. New spiritual territory with new anointings, new giftings is ready for you and leadership for the take.

Let the new Wine flow ...

Many blessings,

David

This is definitly a tough time. Transistions go well with some and difficult for others. We have transistions into a strong network of solid leaders but was hell getting here. It took a lot of dying and about 4 years. I believe in you so much and would do anything possible to help in your transistion.

your friend and fellow laborer

Dear George,

Thanks for sharing! The LORD bless you in this new season.
God is good. He seems to be emphasizing realignment lately - and it seems that you have made this shift. I believe it will be positive.
May the LORD bless you in the next steps and the Apostolic Reformed church in Bulgaria.

Just a comment, I agree with what David Rakers shares in the comment above, it is about new wineskins. Ps Richard Williams from History Maker International (Apostolic & Prophetic network for evangelism and discipleship mainly among youth) just shared with me the same about the partners (pastors) and often key people in their churches - many have left, but it was necessary. God is doing something to prepare for the new wine. Trust that encourages you.

Sincerely with blessings, Sian

George Bakalov commented on 04-Oct-2009 04:18 AM

Thank you EVERYONE for the encouraging words! I am inspired to see that more and more Christians are realizing how serious this whole thing is and more and more maturity is coming to the Church.

Cheryl D commented on 04-Oct-2009 09:13 AM

George - I want to tell you how much of a blessing you and Wanda are --you have continued to stand with whole-hearted firm integrity and we appreciate your steadfastness, and your open and honest communications to the Body (just as the Apostle Paul wrote letters to the church), this is very powerful, demonstrating your commitment to God and love for the Body, to do whatever is Godly and necesary to destroy confusion and bring clear understanding and unity. I admire your transparency - which is honorable and demonstrates humility. I stand with you in prayer in Jesus name.

Our team ministers in Razgrad, Bulgaria. This predominantly Muslim city is a regional center for the Bulgarian Islamic community in the north-eastern part of the country. Our vision is to plant 50 churches in the region. We have partnered with pastor Sunai. Ethnically he is Turkish, formerly a Muslim himself. However, Sunai was educated in a Bulgarian school and preaches both in Turkish and in Bulgarian. Today he leads a church called "Perfecting The Saints" and ministers in the region around Razgrad.

Deportation of ministers from Belarus - what does it mean?

Tuesday, October 21, 2008

Share |

On October 9, 2008 I was officially banned from entering Belarus. Only a few days later the same scenario was repeated with long time Belorussian minister bishop Benjamin Brukh. I had the priviledge of meeting bishop Brukh in 2006 when I visited Belarus for the first time and I can assure everyone he is one very fine person and minister of the Gospel.
