Radko Kratsov & his family |
Later this month we will visit an international Roma conference in Ohrid, Macedonia. Last year we were there as well and we were very encouraged by the preaching and training we received from Pastor Radko Kratsov from Bulgaria.
Together with his wife Nevin and in cooperation with YWAM Sliven he has been active on many fronts within the Roma community, which stretches all across south eastern Europe.
Radko has the vision to bring healing and development among the Roma gypsies.
Street evangelism |
He works for healing and development of Roma leaders and ministers in Bulgaria and abroad, so that they can be trained and developed in a Biblical worldview, equipped for relationships at all levels, and encouraged to be dependent on and moved by a personal relationship with God.

They organize activities such as children's work and street evangelism. Pastor Radko will speak again at the upcoming conference in Macedonia and we are looking forward to hearing more good news from this region of Europe!
Traveling Light wants to encourage and support people who take on initiatives in their own country. Every year dozens of people follow the discipleship training given by Radko and YWAM and they are then sent into their streets and neighborhoods. The good news that there is a better life with Jesus is spreading slowly but steadily.
There are many (humanitarian) organizations doing great work among the Roma's. Pastor Radko focuses his work with YWAM first of all on the spiritual development of the Roma people. He knows from personal experience that receiving God's love is the beginning of a new life ... for everyone!
