Lydia Goeglein

Growing up in a missionary family, Lydia was pretty confident that she wanted to be a missionary teacher. After completing a secondary education degree at Belhaven University, she taught at a public high school before joining the church planting team in Sofia, Bulgaria, in December, 2010. She intended to stay for six months, but fell in love with Bulgaria, the missionary kids, and New Life Church.

Lydia oversees Sofia Christian Academy, and also teaches Bible, phonics, literature, and writing. SCA provides a Christian education for missionary families as they serve churches and orphans and in Bible translation.

Lydia helped plant New Life Church and now serves on the worship team, planning team, and in women’s and children’s ministry. She additionally teaches with the team’s English language ministries to professionals and students. In the summers Lydia mentors interns and helps in trafficking prevention camps for teens as referee and art teacher.

Please pray for:
New Life Church – wisdom as they reach into their community
Missionary kids – that they would meet Jesus for themselves and find out what He has for their lives
Lydia – tenderness to the Lord’s guidance and wisdom as she cares for her many students
