Carpenter by Trade, Pastor by Calling—One Man’s Ministry Journey
March 21, 2025
And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. – 2 Timothy 2:2
Bulgaria has a small but devoted evangelical community. Many pastors lead their congregations without formal theological training, relying on God’s grace and biblical resources like THRU the BIBLE to equip them for ministry. As they serve their churches, these leaders face challenges but continue to shepherd their flocks with faith and perseverance.
For pastors in Bulgaria, THRU the BIBLE is a valuable resource, providing biblical depth and encouragement in their ministry. The teachings of Dr. McGee help them expand their understanding of Scripture and disciple their congregations with wisdom.
Here’s one story from a pastor in Bulgaria:
"My name is Marin and I lead a small evangelical church in Bulgaria. I love delivering sermons and organizing activities for my congregation. I am not paid to work as a pastor, so I work as a carpenter during the week and support my family through my carpentry business. I recently met the producer of the THRU the BIBLE program in Bulgarian. I shared with him that these programs offer me a systematic explanation of biblical passages. As someone without formal theological education, the invaluable work of Dr. McGee has greatly assisted me in my ministry to my church.”
This testimony is a reminder that God is equipping His shepherds. Marin’s dedication to serving God’s people is an inspiration, showing that true pastoral leadership comes from a heart committed to God’s calling.
Let’s pray for pastors in Bulgaria who are serving faithfully. May they be strengthened and encouraged as they continue to feed God’s people with His Word.
