Ministry Update
Kevin and Sarah Pfister
in Bulgaria
Kevin and Sarah are NALC Global Workers and currently serve as Marketplace Workers within the sending agency of Operation Mobilization (OM). This means that they are tentmakers using their musical talents, both professionally and through their ministry work, to share the Gospel with those around them. OM does not yet have an official team in Bulgaria and, as of right now, they are the only OM missionaries living and serving full-time in the country.
One of their primary ministries is serving as a founding family and the music ministers for a new church plant in Ruse. Their role in this church includes leading the musical worship each week, leading prayer and Bible study groups, as well as helping to organize outreach events such as the Operation Christmas Child Family Outreach they did for the first time in December 2019. The Pfisters also host a music education outreach, as well as chamber concerts which are a rich and integral part of culture and society.
On a daily basis they seek to follow God’s commands to love their neighbor, preach the Good News and be faithful disciples of Jesus. They are continually building relationships, learning the language and seeking to be a witness to everyone around them. This includes helping to lead prayer groups and Bible studies through their church, opening their home to others for meals and special events, as well as finding ways to share God’s love to and serve their community.

Grace Sanctuary Open for Worship Services
Everything within reason is being done to mitigate the threat of spreading infection to one another as we continue our in-person worship services.
In October we began offering an early service at 9:00 am to accomodate the expanding number of worshippers at Grace. We did this in order to provide a safe place with social distancing during worship on Sunday mornings.
Please review the Grace Newsletter (left hand column of this webpage) for full details from Pastor Hohulin on how both worship services are conducted.
Worship with a Livestream Option
Grace is also offering a livestream option for those who do not feel comfortable worshiping in person. This webpage will be updated shortly with the link to access the livestreaming service in real time.

We are to cultivate opportunities to teach others all that our Lord has commanded—to pass on the gospel witness of the apostles. Do we have confidence that we can do it? Jesus thought so, or He would not have gathered us together and put is here where we are. He would not have called us as he has.
