The Salvation Army Begins Work in Bulgaria

General Brian Peddle has announced that Bulgaria has become the 132nd country in which The Salvation Army is officially at work.

Although lockdown and other restrictions have made life far from easy, the new Salvation Army ministry is already beginning to have an influence. Partnerships have been started with local Christian fellowships, particularly Amazing Grace Church, which has linked The Salvation Army with a Roma settlement in a slum area on the outskirts of Sofia.

For Colonel Nielsen, a Norwegian officer, Salvation Army ministry starting in Bulgaria is literally a dream come true! Back in 2006, a Bulgarian flag was flown at a Salvation Army congress- believing in faith that one day soon, God would open doors to this country.

The General says: ‘I am delighted to welcome Bulgaria into the worldwide Salvation Army family. In these days of difficulty, it is fantastic to see God answer prayers made in faith so many years ago in creating this opportunity.”
