A Pastor from Belgium

Dear friends of EDL, I just received the email below forwarded from Pastor Lusi Arsov, who has diligently translated EveryDay Life into Bulgarian for the last couple of years. As you will read, he received it from a friend and pastor who has been receiving EveryDay Life in the Bulgarian language. I am at my desk in Woking, England, and had to share his kind words with you who also read and share EDL with those within your circles of influence.

These recent years of writing EDL, I have learned how much God delights to enable any of us to “see beyond sight, give beyond means, and touch beyond reach.” Years earlier, I heard Pastor Jack Hayford say those words and was challenged to believe for that grace. The greatest joy is giving your meager “loaves and fish” into Jesus’ hands and seeing the unimaginable things He can do. You don’t have to have much; you do have to trust Him with all you have.

Thank you Pastor Lusi and Svetla and Friends Church for enabling Gayle and I to “touch beyond our reach” in Bulgaria. I look forward to being with Friends Church in Sofia the Sunday after this.

EveryDay Life, Allen Randolph

Allen,

Here is what I just got in the mail with request to forward it to you. Russy is a Bible School graduate, and he led a church near our city (Sofia, Bulgaria) for a few years but now lives and works in Belgium, due to economic situations.

Blessings, Lusi

Dear Pastor Allen,

I’ve been receiving the material (EveryDay Life) translated into Bulgarian for the last couple of years and I’m really grateful for the encouragement, wisdom and challenge that it provides. It has inspired me many times and God has used it to speak and reveal Himself to me personally.

I will not be there to meet you on your visit to Friends Church (as I live in Belgium) but I surely hope that your stay will inspire and influence the people you meet even more than the weekly messages. I’m also sure you’ll enjoy some lovely Bulgarian hospitality. (-:

Blessings,
Russy
