March 31, 2015 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 1 March 31, 2015 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 2 March 31, 2015 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……… :-) 3
