Arrest and Imprisonment of Ekaterina Voronaev (1933)
The (un)Forgotten: Story of the Voronaev Children Missions & Intercultural Studies Dony K. Donev, D. Min. Presented at the 40th Annual Meeting of the Society for Pentecostal Studies “On one miserable cold, dark night in March 1933, Mother had gone to bed sick. After midnight a loud knock at the door awakened us. Three Secret Police officers entered and one of them shouted, “Citizen Ekaterina Voronaeff, you are under arrest.” Mother hurriedly dressed. My little brother and sister awoke and began to cry as they saw the police ripping our clothes and mattresses …. I can still see my mother standing in the middle ...
Internationalization vs. Naturalization of the Church of God
In the beginning of 21st century, when perspective and persona are changed by postmodern thinking, church planting is most important. Providing a strategy for church planting and growth is to serve as a roadmap to success for Bulgarian church leaders and people who have dedicated their lives to making a difference within the community of believers. It is our prayer that such strategy becomes part of the Great Commission given to the Christendom. The process of transformation of Bulgarian communities in the United States toward a more contemporary and functional model of ministry will inevitably reflect on the process of internalization, ...

"I'm pretty sure that her candidacy will not succeed" he ...
Prophetic and Persecuted Movement
Since a social movement that purposes liberation of the individual is always rejected by the present political and economic powers, Pentecostalism arises and develops in the midst of constant persecution and resistance. The constantly present struggle against evil, wrong and unrighteousness is the power that moves Pentecostalism to its final purposes. Once persecution disappears, Pentecostalism loses its original power and turns to a nominal religious organization, which continues to function and exist, however, outside the boundaries of its original purpose. The theology of the Persecuted Church is a theology of martyrdom. The context of persecution is a constantly present formational factor ...

The (un)Forgotten: Story of the Voronaev Children Missions & Intercultural Studies Dony K. Donev, D. Min. Presented at the 40th Annual Meeting of the Society for Pentecostal Studies The enormity of the movement could not be left unnoticed by the Bolsheviks. After crashing every form of organized life in Russia, sentencing for life in the death camps of Gulag or simply shooting on the spot every leader and visionary of freedom, the atheistic government turned to the only organization apart from the Communist party that could still gather thousands of people – the Christian Church. The persecution of evangelicals was ordered from the very ...
