Our Church Celebrated 4 Years

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

This is going to be just a brief with a few to show you a bit of the celebration of the 4th anniversary of the church we are currently attending - New Life Christian Fellowship (part of Church of God, Tennessee) in Rotterdam. The anniversary was on the first Sunday of March.

Although we’ve been attending there only since November, it’s really become a home for us and we do feel a part of the church. Petra, as you probably know from previous updates or e-mails is doing the Sunday school for children once a month, and I already got to preach once there. It’s encouraging and amazing to see how God is working through a very international bunch of people to change the community, as well as the people from the church themselves. Although only 4 years of age, the church is very energetic and active. The youth night they have is a blast - and now they’ve just started the youth Alpha course which gets it even further. I’ll see if at the end of this month I feel like taking at the youth night and upload them. :)

Anyways, here’s just a bunch of . I hope you’ll enjoy seeing the people we hang out with and celebrate Christ weekly.

Happy New Year! …and some more about us.

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

Dear friends,

Happy ! As for - I think we ought to always celebrate Jesus’ coming daily, so - be thankful and rejoice today because He came to save us!

Here’s what’s new since the last (which I don’t even remember when it was…):

Petra and I managed to get some break. Not much, but we were still able to stay home and do just little things we enjoy. I’ve been taking quite a few (but more on that later), while Petra has been resting, cooking, helping out her parents. She was very sick at (for 2 days), but now she’s all fine. And he school & work don’t start till two days from now. She needed that rest.

We didn’t go anywhere for /’s. The plan was initially to escape somewhere quiet (or not so quiet) for a weekend or so, but we figured it will still be quite expensive, then she got sick, the bank transfers were delayed around the holidays… So we spent both holidays at home with her parents - nice and easy (see some below). Perhaps the escape experience will occur some other time. (more…)

A Brief Personal Update

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

Dear friends,

It truly has been a long while since the last personal update from us on our site. Well, life has been busier than what it probably should have been… Things seem to be more stable now, but then again - the December celebrations bring along quite a load of additional tasks.

Anyways, here’s how we’re doing in brief: both of us are still working. Petra’s also studying and continuing to take driving lessons - her driving exam is on Dec. 19 - your prayers and support are much needed - it’s a stressful event having in mind all that’s invested into getting there. Me being able to finally drive our car has given us quite some freedom concerning the little free time we have. So that’s nice - at least we know we’re not stuck at home permanently.

Having that freedom we also found a church to go to for the time we’ll be in Holland. It’s called New Life Christian Fellowship, an affiliate of Church of God, Cleavland, Tennessee, USA. It’s a very alive young church which is active in the community and we feel very welcome to. The services are in English although the people attending are from all over the place. And, of course, we do like that it’s international - it’s always an eye- and mind-opener. More about the church you can learn by visiting their site here: http://www.nlcf.nl/index.html. (more…)

We Saw the Mills!

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Ok, here comes the life, etc. !

Yesterday we were at the village of Kinderdijk, which features the famous 19 windmills built around 1740 and today is an important tourist location in Holland. We had a beautiful Saturday weather, biked for about 2hrs to there and another hour back. I was able to also take some nice for my stock portfolio - hopefully they get approved. Here are some of the two of us at the windmills:

Apart from that, Petra and I have been able to have some good time together - taking walks in the nearby park, and spending more time with each other. I suppose this sort of “lazy” schedule will change a bit once she begins her classes in September, but I personally find it a lot more peaceful here than at or compared to our summers in Sofia.
