News and pictures in from Sliven, Bulgaria
 

 


Many from our church family will know we are regular visitors to Sliven in Bulgaria and each year a team goes out to offer help and assistance in many different ways. We've just had some pictures in from a recent project, and here's a comment from Glyn Barratt, followed by a statement from the church pastor.

"The foundations for the medical room in the church grounds in Sliven, Bulgaria, were paid for by
Aldridge Parish when the team went out in Oct 05, Yet another plant from our church !!! "

Dear friends,
 
We have no words to express our joy for what happened last week!
With the help of God we officially opened the long-waited and so much wanted from
all of us medical room.
After 2 years of battles on spiritual and material level, after so many difficult trials for our faith, the victory came and together with it - the reward - fresh, full with light and
equipped medical room with hearty and nice workers.
It was so exciting for all of us to cut the ribbon and ask God to bless us and guide us in the future as He has done it until now.
My greetings for the celebration was from John 5:1-9 In this passage God showed me so many analogies with the opening of the medical room. The main one is the very name of Vitesda - "home of mercy". I do pray and hope that this room will be home of mercy for many people who would find peace and freedom physical in their body but also spiritual.
Please, continue to pray for us. The most difficult period is the beginning. We will need some time to create work plan, vision to give out the medicines so that there will not be insulted :-) and etc.
We send you some photos which we hope you will like.
Special greetings to all of you from us.
May our God bless you with His riches in all your needs.
with love in Christ,
Rev. Juri Valkov
