Teaching in Razgrad, Bulgaria

I arrived in Razgrad, Bulgaria on Friday at 9:30 p.m. It took me 26 hours to get here. I flew to London to Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, and then a six hour bus ride to Razgrad. I began teaching a course of Christian education on Saturday evening. There are twelve students in the class from congregations in Bulgaria and Romania. The class is meeting for the weekend and each evening next week. The course is part of the extension program at European Nazarene College, Switzerland. The church has been in Razgrad for about a dozen years. Pastor Nicholi has been served as the pastor for over most of this time. Several work and witness teams have worked on the building of a new church, including Nampa First Nazarene.


On Saturday afternoon I visited anient Roman ruins in Razgrad. They were escavated in the 1950's when they were discovered while building a new factory. The ruins date back to the second to forth century.
On Sunday I taught Sunday school, preached, dedicated a baby, and played the drums. I also taught class from 4 to 9:30 p.m. I had a very busy day.
