(Bulgaria)–Church growth could soon explode in Bulgaria, after years of training underground during Communism. SEND International partner, Dr. Nick Nedelchez (ne-DEL-chez) is the president of the Bulgarian Evangelical Theological Institute. Describing training as a priority, Nedelchez says, interest remains high. “God is moving us to put more influence on the satellite-training program. We are developing our three, right now; and, in the future, two or three more satellite centers.” Nedelchez outlines their greatest need. “At the moment, we are facing great, great challenge and opportunities because we see ourselves as a key player in training people for Turkey and the region. We see ourselves not enough prepared to respond and to meet the needs.”
