Moldovan Mission 2023
Thank you for praying for the Moldova Mission 2023.
The team is made up of four from England, Myself & The Moose (Mark Majunusz), plus David Brown & Matt Downs. The eleven day mission is organised by Mark McCormick of The Moldovan Mission (www.moldovanmission.org). The mission starts Saturday 27th October and we are due to fly back on Tuesday the 7th November.
FRIDAY 27th October:
We fly from Luton and arrive into Chisinau International Airport on Friday evening and travel to our base in Cahul, a city in southern Moldova.
Cahul is 112 miles, about two & half hours car travelling from the airport,
Saturday 28th and Sunday 29th October:
We (myself & the Moose) are with pastor Sasha who is trying to plant a church in the village of Larga (on the Ukraine, Moldovan border). We will be doing aid visits in the day with two Frank (an acronym for the believers unsaved Friends, Relatives, Associates, Neighbours and Kids) evangelistic meetings arranged for the Saturday & Sunday evenings. Biorel and Emilie will be Translating for us.
David & myself will preach Sunday morning in two local Churches and The Moose & Matt will also share their testimonies. The Moose & I will be preaching in Manta (Manta is a commune in Cahul District, Moldova. It is composed of two villages, Manta and Pașcani).
A busy time ahead
We expect to be busy everyday with lots of last minute additions to a busy programme but this is confirmed to us the night before and can even change by morning breakfast! But that is the joy of Moldova! For now this is all the info we have…
Thursday 2nd November
we (myself & the Moose) will go pastor Ion Pavalache to a village called Cazangic (Cazangic is a commune in Leova District, Moldova. It is composed of three villages: Cazangic, Frumușica and Seliște) where pastor Ion is also trying to plant a church. This will also be aid visits and a FRANK meeting at the end we might get a chance to speak to school kids and even teachers – TBC.
The power of prayer:
For the past 12 weeks the believers linked to the mission have committed themselves to pray everyday for 12 individual FRANKs!
The have prayed that God will draw their FRANKs to Christ and that when they invite them to the outreach meetings in their homes they will come
.Weeks of prayer from the believers mean those we encounter will have already been prepared by God to listen to and receive the gospel and I believe the mission will be especially fruitful because of that!
I hope to be able upate regular news & photos of the trip on this website!
Please pray for:
