Petar & Femke Tatarski

Timothy and Anna

Petar (from Bulgaria) felt God leading him to full-time ministry during and after a summer internship in 2013. Femke's (from the Netherlands) first trip to Bulgaria with the team from her church was in 2011. Her love for Bulgaria grew during the following three summers as she continued to go back each year. Petar and Femke met in Velingrad, Bulgaria in August of 2014. Femke was serving with a team from her church and Petar was working with Josiah Venture's partner organization in Bulgaria—Istinski Horizonti. They got married in October of 2016 with the decision to be a family on mission to equip young believers to fulfill Christ's Commission. They served for two years in Velingrad and for three years in Stara Zagora. Now they are located in Sofia. Petar is developing a wilderness ministry nationally. He wants to equip many churches to use this powerful tool to reach and disciple youth. Femke spent the last four years primarily on maternity leave. Now, she is stepping again into ministry responsibilities with Istinski Horizonti and within her and Petar’s local church in Sofia. They want to see Bulgarian churches discipling the next generation.
