• Maturing the Church is a major challenge. Pray for: The training of church leaders. The right structures to enhance growth. The discernment of doctrinal error.

[edit] Church and State Relations

• Bulgaria has transformed from harsh repression in the 1980s to today's relative freedom of religion and hunger for spirituality.
• Religious freedom is still not fully achieved. In the past, persecution was severe with many Christians imprisoned or killed and by manipulation through informers, infiltrators and imposters in the churches. The subversion of the Orthodox hierarchy was particularly widespread. Some leaders courageously suffered, others compromised — a fact that still breeds division, mistrust and lack of cooperation in Orthodox, Protestant and Pentecostal churches alike. Pray for repentance, reconciliation, healing and spiritual unity. Some Orthodox leaders have orchestrated a virulent media campaign against non-Orthodox, and particularly Evangelicals. There is a need for bridges of trust to be built between the major Christian bodies.
• Pray for, complete religious freedom for Evangelicals.
