From Sofia, Bulgaria 

to St.Petersburg, Russia 

to Budapest, Hungary to 

the end of the world...

In order to introduce ourselves here is a part of MY STORY that God wrote for us. ​

God changed and gave purpose to our lives!!!​​Before knowing Christ my life (Toncho) was a string of events with no plan and purpose. By all standards of the world, I was having a great time. I did not know the Bible and for me, the church was just the rituals and traditions of no real significance. However, deep inside I felt empty and dissatisfied with my achievements, failed to see my life in perspective, and did not see what made that day more different and purposeful than the day before. I remember lying in bed at night often asking myself about the end of the world, what would come after that, and what was keeping the harmony of the earth. How could everything be planned in the chaos of the world? Despite all that I kept wasting my time at college parties, living for the moment. I spent every minute as if it were the last one without much thought to the meaning of such definitions as time and eternity.​

​In my University years, I trained baseball and met a group of Americans living in Bulgaria. Brooke Rollins was one of them. Then they were just different, with their own ways and culture. I started to watch their life closely. They were full of energy, overflowing with love and care for me; they truly enjoyed life with no complaints and seeking of guilt and shortcomings around them; they lived in the fullness of and commitment to something I did not understand.

I graduated from the Technical University and had a specialization in International Economic Relations. Life went as usual until one day I received a small package in the barracks...

... Now I have confidence from God in my heart for this ministry and together with Ani, we can serve as a family for the salvation of students, families, and all the people wherever God put us. People really seek a way to God and we are committed to making this way visible for every single one of them so that everyone can have the opportunity to freely choose Salvation in Christ.
