MISSIONS TO BULGARIA
Reuniting with my birth parents:
Hi Family and Friends: How are you and you are family doing. Hope all is well. I just returned
from my missions trip from Bulgaria. Had such amazing time with loving on the poorest of the
poor the gypsies. We fed widows and the orphans. We gypsy village and ministered to the
poorest of the poor and we saw so
many healing back, knee, asthma,
high blood pressure, deaf hear
again and many heart problems
and others things. We went from
side of the country to the others
side and came back to Sofia on the
train. It was such amazing trip and
saw so may people being loved and
wanting to know more about God
and got see so many smile and
have fun dancing with us and
having the joy of the Lord.
The story is since last trip to Bulgaria I had more interest in finding my birth parents. I had
never met my birth parents in my life. I was put in the orphanage since I was born. I asked my
friend from Bulgaria if they can find my parents address and phone but they told I will try my
best but just be ready if is not possible to find them. They told me it would be a long and hard
process to find them. So they tried and told me we have some stuff when you come back here in
Bulgaria. I went last Monday and they gave me 2 address and a mobile number with was my birth
mom cell phone number. On Wednesday morning we went
to my city were I was born in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria. I told
my leader Winne Banov I have my birth parents address and
cell number and if is possible go the address where my friend
game in Stara Zagora. She told me you have to and find
them today is the only day we have you really should go and
find them and we are supporting you and praying for you so
2 of the gypsy pastors went with me and help me go to the
first address that my friend gave me. No one was there so we
try to find more info. We found they don't live in that address

anymore it was 8 years a go they moved to another town. So
we went and had lunch with the team. The drive asked me
what happened and I told we didn't find so he called his
friend in Sofia and they told him my mother lives in second
address that my other friend gave me and he also told me
that I have an older brother who is born in 1981 and that my
mother works in the hospital she is a nurse in Harmanli and
thats where she lives. So Winnie told you have to go and she prayed for me and our team. So one
of the pastors took me to Harmanli so we drove for 1 1/2 hours so we got to the address and
elderly woman came out and asked the pastor what we wanted and pastor asked for my birth
mom’s name and told her I am her son and she was in shock and I showed all my documents. We
found out she was my grandma my dad’s mom and then my grandpa came out and he told me we
were worried what would happen to you and where were
you. My birth parents left that morning for vacation
another 1 1/2 hours drive from Harmanli. I got to talk my
dad for the first time on the phone and told me Would
like to see me and if I had time to drive to where they
were. My grandma was so emotional and happy that I was
alive and well. My grandparents were so shocked and
surprised. They both gave me kisses on both of my
cheeks and were so happy. I told them what I have done
and help the orphans and the widows and they cried with
joy. Then my cousin came few min which his name is also
Rosen and he is my father’s brother son. He didn't say
anything but I think he was also in shocked. We were
there for 20 min at my grandparents then we drove to where my birth parents were in Zlatograd
it's a famous mineral water for therapy. I was so nervous and anxious and was praying God give
me and my birth parent peace and fill them with your love. I was also praying God let their be
love and peace in every conversation we talk about. So we go there around 7pm on Wednesday so
for the first time in my 30 years of my life I see my father and mother we give each other hugs.
Then we go to the restaurant and they were both in shock and
I was also in shock to see them for the first time in my life
we looked at each other for while and didn't stay anything.
So I started talking and told them I love you and forgive you
and it doesn't matter what happened I love you and I am
very happy to see you. So I asked them what happened so
my mom started to talk and she told me that the doctor said
I was very sick in that I was going to die when she gives

birth and that i would not make only for few hours or few days. So I went one direction and my
parents went to another direction. They though I died and didn't bother to find me so they lived
with the pain and were worried about me and where I was or
did I live or die. Then I told them that I was adopted by a
missionary family in Thailand who loved me and cared for
me. I told them I am a missionary working with orphans,
children at risk, helping with awareness of Human
Trafficking and helping the widows. I told them I work with
my own people the orphans and fatherless. They were in
shock even more. They asked me why am I here in Bulgaria
I told them were are ministering to the gypsies and the
poorest of the poor loving on them and bringing joy in their
lives. Then my dad told me we are so proud of you and glad for what you are doing and helping
the poor and rejected ones. I told them I have been to many countries and helped people all
around the world. I also told them that I lived in Ukraine and helped with orphans and helped
with gypsy orphans camps and told them what my adopted
parents did and have done in the mission field and what
they are doing now. They told me I have a brother that is 4
years older than me and that he lives in England and is
born in 1981. There is only 2 of us. We had dinner together
and such a great time I really felt the peace of God over us
and I also felt God’s love over them. I got to share with
them about God and shared what he has done for me.
Since I saw them I called them about 3 times it will be a
process and getting know each other and I kept telling them I love them and I was happy to see
them and I told them that I will miss them and pray for them.
Please do pray for me and encourage me. Please continue to pray for my birth parents as we
continue to communicate and my process. It will take time to know them and learn more about
them and getting to them better. Thanks everyone who
donated towards this trip and for those who prayed for me. I
felt all your prayers. Thank you for all those who commented
on Facebook when I told you that I found my birth parents.
This wouldn't happen without your support and love and
prayers. You guys are truly blessings in my life. Thank you
Thank you Blessings to you and your family. Thank you.
Rosen……… :-)
