New Hope Conference: Worship, Teaching, and Healing in Macedonia

This Easter Monday, believers and new souls from across Macedonia gathered once again in Lozovo, near Veles, for our annual New Hope conference — a day that, brought our church family together in this special place.

More than 440 people joined us this year, traveling from many different towns and villages around the country. To make the day easier for everyone, a round-trip transport was organized so guests from various locations could travel together to the venue.

“Let us not give up meeting together… but let us encourage one another.” — Hebrews 10:25

A Day of Worship and Teaching

The conference opened with a warm welcome to everyone, recognizing the many different places represented in the room — a true picture of the unity God is building across Macedonia.

We were blessed to hear the Gospel shared by visiting pastors from Bulgaria and the United Kingdom. The team from the UK was an especially big blessing to our community, bringing fresh encouragement and a reminder that the body of Christ stretches far beyond our borders.

“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” — Matthew 18:20

Prayer and Healing

The day closed with an extended time of prayer for everyone who wanted it. Many testified to God’s healing touch, and the room was filled with praise.

“Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them… and the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well.” — James 5:14-15

A New Step: Ministry for the Younger Generation

For the first time, New Hope 2026 included a dedicated track for children and youth. While the adults continued in teaching, the younger generation had their own space — learning about God through hands-on activities, games, and crafts designed especially for them.

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” — Proverbs 22:6

New Hope continues to grow each year, and we give thanks to God for every person who traveled, served, and gathered with us in Lozovo. We look forward to seeing what He has planned for next year.
