Georgian and Winnie Banov


Georgian Banov was born in communist Bulgaria. As a teenager, he was a founding member of the first official rock 'n roll band in the country. He escaped the iron curtain and was mightily saved after coming to the United States. It was during the tail end of the Jesus Movement in 1974 that he had a powerful encounter with Christ in Southern California.

Georgian and Winnie have been ordained ministers, serving as missionary evangelists for over 25 years - since 1979. They have traveled worldwide doing meetings from churches to stadium-size crusades in the United States, Africa, East and West Europe, the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand. Since 2001, the Lord has increased their ministry's focus and attention towards the poorest of the poor throughout the third world. So far, they've targeted South East Africa hardest hit by famine, the rejected Gypsies of Eastern Europe, and the impoverished of Central America. All of their crusades include Jesus Celebrations and Love Feasts, where they feed the local people their favorite food. Although the sounds, flavors and spices of these international crusades vary from nation to nation, the River of God's extravagant love is always the same - deep, passionate, all consuming and irresistible. The Banovs are excited to be alive at a time where the church will see the Lord's largest harvest in history!
