Meanwhile, the Southern Baptist International Mission Board says their missionaries hope that their sharing food with the needy in Bulgaria will lead to Jesus Christ. Three-fourths of Bulgaria’s eight million people live in poverty. Christian groups have helped plant and harvest more than 40 acres of potatoes and then distributed them to hospitals, orphanages, and those in need. The IMB is praying that their food project will be used as a springboard for evangelism and church planting.
