Missions Trip to Sofia, Bulgaria

We received word in late October that there was a need for people to travel to Bulgaria to assist a missions organization there with their distribution of shoes and socks to orphans.  The Converge International Fellowship family jumped into action!  While only two were able to leave on such short notice, the rest of the church pulled together to fund their trip and send them.  Carol (USA) and Anok (India) cleared their schedules and joined a group from our sister church in Rome to assist with the mission to Sofia.  The team visited 9 orphanages in 5 days, distributing more than 700 pairs of shoes and new socks to needy people from pre-school age to young adult.  It was a blessing to all involved – the children, of course, but also the mission agency we assisted, the members of the team who travelled, and the “home church” that sent them!
