Matthew 25:35-36 For I was hungry and you fed me. I was thirsty and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger and you invited me into your home. I was naked and you gave me clothing. I was sick and you cared for me. Was in prison, and you visited me.
The ministry with the prisoners - as a part of the national ministry network among the prisoners, out ministry started on a local ground in the local prison - Stara Zagora in 2004. Pastor Luybo Petkov along with other leaders from Messiah Christian church visit the prisoners every week. Preaching, discussions, video presentations, concerts for the holidays, gifts - all this is part of the activities in this ministry. The testimonies of salvation, liberation and healing shared by the prisoners are quite a good reason for the ministry to continue with enthusiasm.
The ministry in the hospital: our ministries in hospital "Prof. Stoyan Kirkovich", Stara Zagora and Regional Dispensary for Oncological Diseases hospital, Stara Zagora, started in 2005. We managed to reach the sick people because of the donation of mineral water dispensers, which was in lack as an option as for the patients as for the hospital administration. People from Messiah church visit the two wards weekly. They organize gatherings in the dining-room of the ward, paying attention and having a special time for personal meetings with the patients and praying for them as well. There are people who got saved and healed through this ministry in the hospital. We want to express our gratitude to the hospital leadership for the offered opportunity and unlimited access to those, who need to confess their faith in Jesus Christ.
