‘BodyBuilders’ Youth Event
Great to see aprox 30 young people at tonights ‘BodyBuilders’ Youth Event! The place was full of energy, red faces and sweaty bodies (a combination of lots of running and the heaters being on now that winter is here!)
Also good to have 7 of the older young people turn up early for ‘BodyBuilders’ Extra, this is an additional time of food (pizza) and Bible Study aimed at those who made a commitment to Christ on Good News Camp.

Moldova – all over for another year?
Well it’s all over for another year, but not quite! When you sow good seed it is a case of wait and see!
Thank you for your support & prayers they were very much appreciated.
Day 9 – Sunday 6th November
Last day of preaching for the Moose & me!
This morning –
A preach at Tiganca, to share the Word of God with the mixed ages present! No appeal made but we felt it was a useful meeting.
Please pray for Denis & his wife Valentina (& 3 children) who are Church planting in this tough village. The Church meetis in the only room available for hire.
THE CHURCH:
MOOSE’S TESTIMONY:
The Moose (Mark Majnusz) sharing his testimony at the morning service in Tiganca.
Translator: David Telpiz
This afternoon –
A FRANK meeting at the Church in Gotesti, those who came along were the mothers of the children who regularly attend kids Clubs or Sunay school. We had three groups all going on at the same time, one lady Dianna made a response at the appeal.
This evening –
Our final meeting of the Mission:
A FRANK meeting a home in Gotesti. This was my favourite meeting of the day because it sums up the unique beauty and unusualness of Moldova.
We had a Russian speaking lady who moved into the ajoining room with her baby, a deaf lady who needed all things signing as well as translated, a man who had no concentration and looked like he was taken up with his own thoughts, two senior adults who had obviously been drinking, add to that a young child who kept running in and out of the room! Our translator then got a ‘frog’ in his throat and had trouble speaking during the second part of the sermon. Then at the appeal, I am praying a prayer of response when the doorbell goes (by doorbell we mean mad barking dog in the yard) and in walks the pastor (yep, all about timing!) – on a human level it is chaotic madness, but God is sovereign and five people responded at the appeal and it would seem the Pastor will do a Bible study in that home with them.
Day 8 – Saturday 5th November
A day of resistance in Chincari, from argumentative men to uninterested teenagers, but we press on and preach the gospel. Today was also a varied day.
A FRANK meeting with three senior ladies, all three were crying at some stage during our preaching (yep, I can hear you making your own jokes up!), so we assumed they were touched by the message, but no visible response to the appeal.
A few home visits to cha to contacts in the village, great to meet Vanya(lady on the right) who quoted John 3:16 from memory and knew some of the Bible stories, she used to attend the Church but married a non-Christian and no longer attends, she asked for a Bible, but it would be great to see her going back to the Church.
An outdoor meeting under the porch, there was thunder, lightening and torrential rain and the temperature dropped but the FRANK group turned into two big discussions (heat6ed arguments) because of what was said. Pray that the Pastor will be able to follow up and develop the conversations.
This evening was a youth group, typical teenagers but it is hard to get a repour when the local youth leaders allow the young people to come in and out the room as they please, or sit at the back looking at phone messages etc. There was good listening from a couple of the lads, please pray in the word spoken!
p.s.
We heard today (Sunday) that this was the first time these young people had listened to a preacher! I spoke for about 30mins, so PTL for this opportunity!
