Why Is There A Need For An Organisation Like PastorAid BG?
Christian visitors to Bulgaria may be familiar with churches in the larger cities - Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas and so on. These churches are relatively well supported. Outside the big cities, the picture is quite different. The standard of living is noticeably lower. Congregations are poorer and struggle to support their pastors. The pastors in turn suffer from a lack of the resources they need to carry out their work of caring for the members of their flock and reaching out to others.
PastorAid BG exists to help fill the gap.

TELL others about Bulgaria, its churches and pastors.
TELL others about the work of PastorAid BG. Pass on our newsletters. Link your website to ours. Invite one of our team to speak at your church.
GIVE your financial gifts for the work of PastorAid BG. We plan to become a registered UK charity very soon, so you will then be able to make donations to us under Gift Aid.
SPONSOR a Bulgarian church or pastor (your money will go much further in Bulgaria than it would in the UK. £1 in UK money has the equivalent purchasing power of £3 in Bulgaria).
GO to Bulgaria - there are numerous holiday packages available - and visit a village church. Our team in Bulgaria will help you find it. Your visit will greatly encourage the local believers.
VOLUNTEER to help the work of PastorAid BG. We are only just starting up in the UK and need the help of local representatives and fundraisers.
