Pastors in Unity
2008-12-12I really pray to God and this is my heart’s desire to see the pastors of the Stara Zagora region more united and more hospitable. For example, in our town of Sliven in the Roma neighborhood there are several churches, and we have made it our tradition for all the pastors to gather for prayer and fellowship at least once a week.
Last week my wife Shinka and I decided to invite the pastoral couples at our place for dinner. The room got too full, but we enjoyed the meal and the evening together. We also decided that since we are all together we need to call our regional bishop Stefko Zlatarov and say a prayer of blessing over him and his family.
After dinner we spent some time in prayer for special needs and then we picked another date to gather together for fellowship and mutual encouragement. I believe that God is among us when we come together in unity!
As a Christian Ministry venturing in Missions we have become comfortable partnering and ministering with groups and families from so many countries… Well so many and yet never before we had the honor to serve the Lord with a family from Norway. So for the first time we were to host Norwegians and we had no idea what to expect and let me tell you right away that Tormod and Anita Olsen - an army of just two literally filled our van, our towns and villages, our world.
Since we have never met them before – we were praying that God was sending us at least some normal people to work with but it was such a surprise to discover that they were far from normal – they were as crazy as we are and folks so in love with Jesus and his flock. WOW!
A week started and ended like it was just 7 hours – we felt in love with the Olsens seeing how they jumped straight into the deep waters of the Bulgarian ministry context without hesitation and restrains – they began loving on people, ministering with their unique talents and uplifting the hurting people with a contagious spirit of enthusiasm and Jesus love. WOW!!
Sofia, Geman, Petrich, Panaguyrishte, Levski, Teteven – day after day the people of Bulgaria from the various churches found their Spiritual Vitamins, encouragement, specific word of God through prophecy, healings, freedom and salvation through the self-sacrificial, giving and warm ministry of these folks. We can not wait for them to come back in June… I personally am in anticipation to see what Daddy has for us in the future – and I am sure it is special. Thank you God – for bringing those two WOW!!! People in our world.

Mission trip to Sofia, Bulgaria 2014
In February we went to Sofia, Bulgaria with a great expectation, to begin a work with the Care For All Ministries. It has become to be a strong experience in many ways. When we met Dinko Zlatarov we felt welcomed and loved at ones.
Care For All, is a good and well-planned ministry with a high focus on humanitarian and evangelistic work, This ministry operates a great deal of time among the Gypsies - the poorest of the poor in Bulgaria. It was amazing to see how Dinko and his team worked among them.
Also - it was impressive to see the new established churches that are continually growing, the outreach like giving food and pray for the sick and making children`s street parties give fantastic results. The education work among the children, giving them skills in English and how to use computers will help them increase their carrier development and avoid the mistakes of their surroundings.
We can read in Matthew, 25:40 “Truly I tell you, in so far as you did it for one of the least of these My Brethren, you did it for me.” Care For All is living this, and what we saw was the love of the Father that came true this work. It was a great pleasure for us to see people saved and healed through this week’s work. The people we met, children and the grown-ups were dedicated and in love with Jesus.
Through this work we can see the kingdom grow and we recommend Care For All to you to partner with in the Kingdom of God in Bulgaria.
Best regards:
Anita & Tormog Berg Olsen

When I was a child, I liked to play with my dolls. In the beginning I imagined I was their mother and later on I would create whole theatrical performances. When I got to my teenage years, my dolls became only an accessory to my room just reminding me of my childhood... The kids on our days do not play with dolls - they prefer the computer world where the games are much more dynamic and filled with adrenaline. Maybe this is the reason our kids grow faster... And I realize I am from a different ge
