E. C. Kočani
Venco Nakov was born in Shtip in 1969. He finished high school in his hometown and went to study in Leskovac. In June 1991, he received the New Testament and after several months of intensive research and reexamination of the meaning of this book, he decided to dedicate his life to Jesus Christ. He had previously experienced serious crises, but the encounter with the Bible led to radical changes in his life and he decided to study at the Faculty of Theology in Skopje. After one semester, he left for theological studies in England where he earned a master's degree in theology, and is currently working on a doctorate in practical theology. He is married to Katja and they have four children: Martin, Filip, Jovana-Asterija and Stefanija.
Details about the church
Our history
The beginning of the Evangelical Church in Kochani was sometime in June 1994. Venco Nakov and Jovan Gjurkov from Shtip began coming to Kochani once a week and organizing meetings in Uncle Tosho's house near the current location. Towards the end of 1994, Venco Nakov moved to Kochani in the Doklevec neighborhood where most of the members of the then group of believers also lived. Over the years, several addresses and meeting places of the Evangelical Church - Kochani changed before finally moving into its own space.
