Arriving in Thessaloniki

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am in one of the most famous Bible cities - Thessaloniki in Greece. This incredible place has centuries of rich Christian history and every part of it has a story to tell. Apostle Paul was walking also on these streets and preached the Gospel of Jesus.


Today this is the second largest city of Greece famous with it’s culture, museums, universities and industry. Everywhere the metropolitan city is crowded with young people walking or just sitting in the thousands coffee shops. Because of it's industrial structure and universities people from all of the Balkan countries and all over the World have moved to live here. Sadly - most of these people are ether nominal Christians, Muslims or atheists. There is not even one Church of God or there are not many other Pentecostal churches either. With this mission we are planning to start church and lift up the name of Jesus high in the society and bring many to Him. It will not be an easy task but it is "not by might and not by power but by my Spirit says the Lord".


I am still in process of finding an apartment to rent. It is not an easy task considering the prices and location. Please pray with me for an easy transition and settling. What is even more important; please pray for all these people in Thessaloniki. They need the Lord and only through Him they can find eternal life.

Thank you for being with me in the Spirit!

Parking in Thessaloniki



Just a little observation. I am speaking Bulgarian on this video but what you can see is obvious. There are so many cars in Thessaloniki and the parking space is really limited. The cars not only park bumper to bumper but also on a second row. I am not sure how the cars from the inside are able to leave. I haven't seen such a terrible parking environment.

Walking in Thessaloniki



Walking in ThessalonĂ­ki is an amazing experience. Welcome on a little walk with me. What I've noticed is not only the beautiful buildings and the sea but the people. It is so crowded with young people sitting at the coffee shops and talking. I believe that this should be the target group that I will aim with the Gospel. Reaching the young generation is difficult but will make an impact for the future. Please pray with me for the young people who live in ThessalonĂ­ki, Greece!

Driving towards Thessaloniki




Driving towards Thessaloniki is a beautiful experience. I am impressed by the beauty that surrounds me. More important then that is that on these roads Apostle Paul was walking and sharing the Good news of Salvation! I am honored to be able to be here!
