Some of the best Christian pastors in the present time sent their New Year’s Christian messages in an unexpected way.

Pastor Petkov spoke about Christ as the hope of glory and God’s help in our lives by giving true hope and performing miracles, such as the birth of Abraham’s son Isaac and the birth of prophet Samuel. Pastor Tzvetan Petkov revealed also the important Bible principle that true miracles would be performed not according to the expectations of men, but according to God’s salvation plan and according to His way.
In addition, on the first day of the New Year 2021, Pastor Gustavo Castellanos, German Union Secretary at IMS, sent a Christian message via audio morning devotion.
