Info
BMS World Mission entered into a partnership with the Bulgarian Baptist Union in March 1993. Since that time, aid has been given through BMS relief grants and there is ongoing BMS financial support for Bulgarian-led church planting, theological education and work among the Roma. The Bulgarian Baptist Union developed quickly in the first years of freedom after the fall of the Berlin Wall and now has 75 churches with a total of over 5,000 members. Mark and Penny O'Sullivan have been working in Bulgaria since 2002 and are currently developing an alternative model of care for some of the country’s orphans.
