From an early age, our parents taught us to trust God and follow Him. In 2002, they founded the Church of Jesus Christ in Crete, Greece. Church, ministry and the Christian life were therefore never unfamiliar to me. Even so, my heart initially longed to serve and help people quietly, behind the scenes. I had no desire to become a preacher or a pastor.
In 2012, I met my wife, Kremena. She was part of Messiah C3 Church in Stara Zagora. We began serving together, continuing to draw wisdom and example from her pastors, Lyubo and Tanya Petkovi, from whom we still learn today. During this season, God opened new doors, began shaping my character and changed the direction of my life. Over time, my love for Scripture grew, and I began studying apologetics, polemics and theology in depth.
In 2016, my family and I moved to London. For two years, I went out to share the gospel on the streets of the city. This experience opened my eyes to a painful reality. I noticed that, especially within the Bulgarian community, even when people attended church, they often did not know the true God of the Bible. This touched my heart deeply, and God awakened in me a strong desire to teach and help people truly know Him.
In 2020, together with my father, we started the Bulgarian Christian Church of Jesus Christ in London ↗. In 2022, after the church and several pastors recognised the gift in me, I was formally ordained. A few years later, God enlarged our territory and we planted Churches of Jesus Christ in Poland and Belgium.
Today, together with Kremena and our three children, we continue to serve with a mission to lead people into a true, deep and living knowledge of Jesus Christ.
