A very different day today. We started with a delay as the minibus picking us up had a problem with its wheel. When it was fixed it meant a shorter visit to a care home. the 5 residents listened well to the team members sharing their stories of how they came to faith in Jesus Christ. The team then divided up and we went to two house meetings, my third meeting was lost due to a misunderstanding when my local host took us to the wrong house (two Maria’s in the Church) by the time we had discovered where we should be it was too late!
A long disrupted day but still a good day.

Three house meetings today, great to see neighbours and friends filling these houses. In the third house we had over 25 adults plus children squeezed into the limited space, people responding to the gospel at each meeting.

Despite EU integration attempts in recent years, Moldova continues to be the poorest country in Europe, crippled by a high level of corruption, political instability and a failing economy. The extreme poverty, especially in rural areas, aggravates related problems like a high rate of alcoholism and an exodus of the working population to other countries, while children and elderly are left behind. However, this situation also creates many ministry opportunities, especially in the area of relief & development.

I have been invited once again to be involved in gospel preaching, this outreach is carried out in partnership with local Moldovan Churches, encouraging them in evangelism as they reach out to their friends, family members and neighbours with the gospel.

Itinerary:

I will be based in the South of the country.
Below are the venues and majority of meetings (22 confirmed/planned and some extras will be added as the week unfolds).

Saturday: Fly out to Moldova.
Sunday: Village of Vadul lui Isac – 1 meeting.
Monday: Village of Vadul lui Isac – 3 meetings.
Tuesday: Village of Pelinei/Vladamirovca – 3 meetings.
Wednesday: Village of Burlacu – 3 meetings.
Thursday: Village of Taracl S – 3 meetings.
Friday: Village of Lopatica – 3 meetings.
Saturday: Village of Giurgulesti – 4 meetings.
Sunday: Emanuel preach a.m. + 2 afternoon meetings( dupa masa).

I would value your payers that I will be able to cope with the conditions, and to be ready for all that will be expected of him. Pray for the other evangelists in the teams, for the local organisers, for the translators, for the hosts, and especially for the many people who will be reached with the Gospel message. Pray the Holy Spirit will have freedom to touch many hearts.

Please pray for the team:

Mark McCormick (Organiser)
Evangelists: Dave Lynn, Dave Barber, Steve Crithlow, Dave Jacklin, Ray & Gordon Curley.
