Souvenirs

Сувенири – Souvenirs
As we prepare to move out of the house that has been our home for 6 years, and out of the country that has been home for the past 12 years, we’ve collected quite a number of “souvenirs” that are little more than paper and ink – yet, that still hold value – if only the sentimental sort.
As we move to Bulgaria in October, we find a land full of “souvenirs” in the form of ancient churches and monasteries. These are testament to a faith of a people of the distant past. Though many of them are in spiritual use today, for the most part, Bulgarians see these as ancient relics, “souvenirs” of the past. We praise God that He is sending us, not to resurrect ancient structures, but to support and build up churches of “living stones” like the one below. Though many are small and new, the Masterbuilder Himself has designed them, and He will complete them and fill them with His own honor. They will be more than just relics; they will be true living gifts to those Bulgarians touched by them. We are excited to be helping the “construction crew”!
