"LIFE IN GLORY"

A P O S T O L I C - C H R I S T I A N - C E N T E R

"Life in Glory" Apostolic Christian Center was created in 1996 and is one of the three main centers of the officially registered in Bulgaria Apostolic Reformed Church (ARC) denomination, which belongs to the Evangelical-Protestant wing of Christianity worldwide. "Life in Glory" ACC is located in Stara Zagora and is represented and managed by senior Apostle Ivo Stefanov Koychev.

"Life in Glory" Church is a multicultural community, whose main purpose is to contribute towards the change of the ethnic minorities, specifically the Roma ethnic group. To fulfill its objective, "Life in Glory" ACC uses various forms of ministry to the community:

• conducting worship services, seminars and conferences
• preaching the Christian faith
• development of Christian value system in the believers
• assisting socially disadvantaged people with humanitarian aid
• working with youth
• children's ministry, caring for 120 children
• building up an Apostolic network by establishing new churches in the region and the country.

The structure of "Life in Glory" Apostolic Christian Center is based on cell groups, that are led by mature ministers, whose duties consist of caring for each person individually. This people care helps their spiritual growth in the Christian faith.

During 2006, "Life in Glory" ACC initiates the "Roma Destiny" Movement, which aims to promote change and integration of the Roma, through the development of the Christian values ??and virtues in them. In 2009, "Life in Glory" Apostolic Christian Center officially opened its new building - National Center, where at present services, trainings, seminars and conferences are being held.

"Life in Glory" ACC and "Roma Destiny" Movement

"Life in Glory" Apostolic Christian Center establishes the "Roma Destiny" Movement on the following principles:

Building of Father-Son type of relationships
The Father-Son relationship is a spiritual connection that requires impartation from the father and acceptance from the Son. One of the goals of "Life in Glory" Apostolic Christian Center is to convey its spiritual identity to "spiritual sons" type of ministries, in the different regions of the country.

Building a partnership relationship with leaders of churches
In our country there are leaders of churches, who have already recognized their identity, mandate, calling and vision. For years they have invested in their regions and have contributed to building the kingdom of God. It is our privilege to interact with these leaders, knowing that Christ's body consists of different parts, through which God reveals the uniqueness of His Spirit - "Ministries are different, but the Spirit is One" (1 Corinthians 12:4). We believe partnership with other leaders of churches is an important factor in implementing the objectives of the "Roma Destiny" Movement.

Building relationships with community leaders and NGOs
The main purpose of these relationships is to raise a new generation of Roma in the spiritual, educational and social level, which will serve to integrate the Roma people in society.

Building relationships with representatives of culture, arts, sports and media, who are Roma
The purpose of these relationships is: the Roma who have achieved success in the various spheres of culture, arts, sports and the media to serve as a model and encouragement for the young Roma, so they can pursue their dreams and be useful to themselves, their family and society.

Establishment of "Carmel" National Intercessory Network
We believe ministries of the "spiritual sons" type, as well as those with whom we have pratner relationships, should be actively involved in the National Intercessory Network. The establishment of the "Carmel" National Intercessory Network, which is to unite the saints in prayer and intercession, is an important factor for the implementation of the objectives of the "Roma Destiny" Movement.
