Taking God's love to the gypsies in Bulgaria
Dear friends and fellow travelers,
How are you ?
If you don’t know, I 'm doing the third year of
the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in
Redding , California .
This year , as in previous years , we have
mission trips as part of our school. Our school take more than 2,000 students
to more than 45 different cities and countries and I was accepted to go to Bulgaria
with the same leaders of my mission trip to Honduras and Nicaragua in 2012 .
The Banovs (Georgian and Winnie Coco) focus on
bringing the Gospel ( love, joy and freedom ) of Christ to most rejected. In
2012 I went with them to the trash dumps in Honduras and Nicaragua to bring
food and the Gospel to those Jesus loves.
Georgian and Winnie Banov are passionate
about the message of the cross . The love they have for Jesus comes like
contagious joy that they carry and is impacting many. This is a work they have
been doing for years now and they keep relationship with those they reach with
love.
Being part of something that has already
started and will continue after us excites me and the feeling of contributing
to the expansion of the Kingdom of God on this Earth feels me with joy.
I'll share with you videos and photos of
previous ministries trips that Global Celebration (the Banovs ministry) have
done. Because our trip is only for students at BSSM, I got the text and videos
they have on their website about other trips to Bulgaria, sou you can have an
idea of what will be happening in our trip.
“Bulgaria – not a country you normally hear
about. But God is doing a work among the Gypsies there!
Bulgaria has a population of over 7.5 million. Approximately 84 percent of the people are of “Bulgarian” ethnicity, with about 7 percent “Roma.” The Roma are a distinct ethnic group that originated from Northwest India. Their dark skin originally gave them the name “Egyptian” which was shortened to the term of “Gypsy.”

The Roma live in small
enclaves scattered all over Europe and beyond. Most Roma groups in Europe
are greatly discriminated against – suffering from unequal wages, employment
and education.
With affection, they are responding
to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Being the poorest of the poor they
do not have a “reputation” to lose, and therefore are not ashamed to let
themselves get lost in worship, or of the manifestations of the Holy
Spirit. During these crusades, hundreds are getting saved daily, and they
readily join in celebrating the Lord in abandoned praise!
As last years summer Global
Celebration team traveled from neighborhood to neighborhood praying and laying
hands on the Gypsies, the Lord did many miracles among them – the deaf heard,
the blind saw, the lame walked and families and communities were set free from
curses and involvement in witchcraft. The testimonies of changed lives
are endless.
All of these miracles and
ministry opportunities take place in an intense environment of celebration and
worship to the King of Kings, resulting in entire neighborhoods and communities
that are being changed forever. These are exciting times!
I hope you enjoyed it, just like I did!!
I can not wait for, along with 42 other
revivalists filled with the love of the Father , invade Bulgaria with the
Gospel .
Our journey begins on March and the cost of the
trip is $ 3.600.
Money I nor my family earthly family has , but
nothing impossible for our Father , right?
I can’t meet this challenge alone , but I can
with your help . And all help make the
differences . Even $10.
My first payment will be made on the 19th of
November and the amount is $360.
If I get 18 friends donating $20 (twenty dollars) , I can hit the target
and hold my
Spot on the trip.
