Thirty Years of Escaping Communism 

The untold story of Eastern Europeans and their pursuit of restoration in the post-Communist era 

George Bakalov grew up in a Communist country during the Cold War era. 

He became a believer at the age of 20 shortly before the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe. Since that time George has been involved in ministry, church planting, humanitarian initiatives, and pro-Liberty activism around the world. 

His technology team has extensive experience in helping ministries like Hill Cities bring Christian content on the Internet.

In this podcast, Jeff Hagen talks to George about growing up behind the Iron Curtain and about asking a lot of deeper questions about life in a country where you are not supposed to think like that! 

His journey to the truth of God was a different route. His life story is full of richly textured experiences in living out the faith that was revealed to him. George’s story is one of the many untold stories of Eastern Europeans who have witnessed first hand the devastation of Communism and the pursuit of restoration through the power of faith.
