This week on Advancing the Mission, we sit down with Pastor Kenneth, founder of Agape Faith United in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Kenneth shares his remarkable journey from Cameroon to Russia, Ukraine, and ultimately Bulgaria, where God led him to start a ministry focused on reaching international students studying far from home. Together, we explore the unique opportunities and challenges of ministering to a diverse community of students from across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. Kenneth discusses how Agape Faith United has become a spiritual home for many students through weekly Bible studies, worship gatherings, choir rehearsals, and Sunday services, which foster both faith and a sense of belonging. One of the key themes of this conversation is the power of unity amid diversity. Kenneth shares how the ministry navigates cultural and denominational differences by creating space for every voice to be heard and by leading with love and respect. We talk about the importance of building bridges across backgrounds and how the gospel creates a deeper bond than culture, nationality, or tradition ever could. At the heart of the conversation is a powerful reminder from Kenneth’s own ministry journey: there is always potential in any given situation. No matter where someone finds themselves spiritually, God is still at work, writing new chapters and inviting people into His greater story.
