Church of God in Bulgaria Helping Haiti
The following is a testimonial from a Bulgarian church leader…
One morning I woke up and began watching the news. I just couldn’t believe the devastation that I saw in Haiti due to the earthquake. The tragedy there was too much to handle for anybody who is Christian and wants to be of help to others.
I started praying to God and interceding for the surviving children who had lost their parents, and for the parents who have lost their children.
A few days later I heard that during this natural catastrophe the national overseer of the Church of God of Haiti had also died. This broke my heart.
Again, I prayed and sought God and He gave me an answer – appeal to believers for relief support for these poor, suffering people.
So I obeyed God’s prompting and started spreading the news all over Bulgaria. I knew very well that the people in our country are poor, but I felt urged to ask for support for Haiti.
To my surprise and amazement a good sum of money was gathered within a week – much of it from poor Roma (Gypsy) churches! It was unbelievable and miraculous.
I am thankful to God that we can contribute to the relief of the needs of others and to give of the little that we have.
The Church of God in Bulgaria raised a total of 1,459.50 Euros ($1,975.29) to send to the relief efforts in Haiti.
