Abstract
"One of the most difficult mission fields in Europe for Baptists, as for most other Protestants, has been Bulgaria. From its beginning, Bulgarian Baptist work has been largely indigenous, but its planting was rather haphazard. At first the work was depende~t primarily upon emigrants from Russia and colporteurs of the British and Foreign Bible Society (BFBS), some of whom were also from Russia.! Unlike many other fields, Bulgarian Baptists never received sustained and significant financial support until after the First World War. As one Bulgarian Baptist pastor wrote years after the work first started, Bulgaria 'has long been the forgotten mission field' and a 'stepchild' of Baptist work"
