(From the conclusion of the article) The work of the first missionaries in Bulgaria, and the believers who planted the first Baptist churches, left a great heritage for all coming generations. The small seeds first planted produced good fruit, and the Baptist churches in Bulgaria continue to develop and grow. They are still a minority. However, the Baptists are a very important sign of the work of the Holy Spirit in this difficult Balkan area. The wider Balkan area has seen so many conflicts, so many wars, and has been conquered for 500 years by Muslims; yet still it is an area that is open for new mission, for evangelisation and for new success in Baptist work. It has been a region with a very difficult historical background - in Muslim times, fascist times, and communist times - but in the end the possibility for new spiritual developments emerged. For all these new possibilities and for the great heritage from our predecessors we can only be thankful to our Lord.
