Hello Family and Friends!….. I know I have not blogged in a while and to be honest I have no other excuse besides the fact that I have just been enjoying the last few weeks I have left here in Bulgaria. I hope you guys all had an amazing Easter and got to spend time just thanking the Lord for all that he done for us! My Easter was spent with Alex and her family and I had an amazing time with them! We played volleyball and frizbe and just goofed around ate AMAZING food it was really a blessed Easter!
So now for a total change of topic I want to address my future plans here in Bulgaria… for those of you who don’t know I will be returning to the states May 15th and was planing on returning around December! However due to my visa and having to spend a specified amount of time here in Bulgaria I will be returning in Oct towards the middle of it….which in all reality is nuts because its such a short time to raise the funds of which I need to live on out here. With rent, Bulgarian lessons, Insurance, ministry supplies, utilities, and paying shepherds staff my budget comes out roughly to around $2220 – 2300 a month! Nuts huh? So my plan is to use every possible connection I have to speak in as many churches as possible! I Want to get 220-230 people to give $ 10 a month….of course if someone feels lead by the Lord to give more thats always a blessing! When I come back I plan to continue to work with the homeless and I want to start working with the Roma… I am thinking of putting together like day events and go out there and have a simple english lesson planned and split it up into centers ( Kinda like a circus ) …. I want to make the Roma my focus when I come back to Bulgaria I really feel lead to minister to them!
So with that said….if you would like me to speak at your church or you have ideas of ways for me raise my funds please let me know at kenneprobst@yahoo.com!
“ fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ~Isaiah 41:10
Keep Bulgaria in your prayers people! The Lord is doing great works here…..its amazing to see it first hand! Keep me in your prayers that the I would continue to see the Lords vision clearly and that the funds would come for this trip easily that I would not stress of this issue!
Love you Guys!
