Report from Darin Ivanov

Darin Ivanov reports a very successful tour with Dr. Terry Mortenson of Answers in Genesis this fall.  It was Darin’s involvement in an Answers in Genesis tour ten years ago that gave rise to this ministry that has grown to cover all of Bulgaria and is reaching out into surrounding countries.  

An excerpt from Darin’s reports: ?First of all I have good news to share about the feedback from the tour with Terry. Many Christians were put on fire to use creation evangelism and were strengthened in their faith in the Word. We have given away so many of the Answers Book for Kids sets (in Bulgarian) and the impact is great. I had some pastors specifically travelling to Ruse later to get more of the sets as they find them so helpful and good. In Sofia we've met with Terry with the student union leaders who were from the Biological faculty of the Sofia University. They were all hardcore atheists, but very bright and open for a debate. I think we have surprised them totally as they have been expecting "religious fanatics" that will give them only theological arguments and you know we are not like that. They were shaken to the core in my opinion and wanted to get more into the "creationism". I provided books in English and creation magazines, DVD's and journal TJ. I believe God is touching some very key young people here. This is just one small example of all that is going on.? Darin translates for Terry in lecture hall of the Ruse Public University?? (right)

Darin is having great success building a Biblical Worldview in the spiritually hungry in post communist Bulgaria with the Answers Book for Kids series in Bulgarian and other great Creation materials he has been teaching with and distributing for the last 10 years.  There have been outreaches to surrounding countries (see newsletter archives) and these efforts are getting ready to bear even greater fruit.  The Answers Book for Kids series is now translated into Turkish and is ready to print.  With $5,000 we can print 1,000 of each of the four books and begin to make inroads into the Turkish population in Bulgaria.  The Every Home for Christ world prayer map lists Turkey as having 0% evangelical Christians.  As Bulgaria and Turkey share a border the Turkish population in Bulgaria is a great way to reach into this Islamic country.   

Darin has several connections to ministries in Romania with extensive networks in that post communist country that are ready to translate and distribute Creation Evangelism materials.  Darin has developed a pattern of how whole countries can be reached with the gospel through Creation Evangelism and we can do that quickly in Romania.  For instance he had placed translated DVDs at TV stations over the last few years and a solid gospel message shared with Creation materials was broadcast all over Bulgaria last Easter.  People in post communist countries are very hungry for the gospel especially when presented with logic and supporting evidence.  The doors are open, the fields are white, and the laborers are few.  Please prayerfully consider joining with us in this time of great harvest.
