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:

·The wives back at home.
·Health (bed bugs, COVID, etc.)
·Safety (bad roads & mad drivers)
·Energy (2-7 meetings per day)
·Guidance & flexibility over what to preach on
·Translators, who are vitally important
·Hearers to turn to Christ in repentance & faith

Pray for Sami

A new book that is hot off the press!

Don’t miss out on this new book that is hot off the press – a number of today’s Counties Evangelists are contributors to the book, check out chapter 6 written by The Curley’s.

According to J.John (Evangelist. Philo Trust) , Rachel Jordan-Wolf (Executive Director. HOPE Together) & Rico Tice (Christianity Explored Ministries), it’s a jolly good read!

What are they are saying about Making Jesus Known Today and Tomorrow:

This is an excellent and helpful resource on sharing Jesus with our world. It is comprehensive in its scope, contemporary in its outlook and, above a/I, challenging in its enthusiasm!

J.John (Evangelist. Philo Trust),

How wonderful to find a current book on evangelism written by those who are passionate evangelists and church planters. We need their inspiration and practice to encourage the church of today back to making evangelism central. The simple last words of Jesus ring through this book calling us to “go” and keep “going”.

Rachel Jordan-Wolf (Executive Director. HOPE Together)

In a world of COVID, Climate Change, Economic Crisis, Conflict in Europe, and Congregations reduced by a third, my job as an evangelist remains ‘to prepare God’s people for works of service’ (Eph. 4: 12). This book is incredibly timely, full of wisdom on the great biblical themes of Integrity, Sovereignty and Creativity in evangelism. It is a Godsend.

Rico Tice (Christianity Explored Ministries)

Making Jesus Known Today and Tomorrow

Making Jesus Known Today and Tomorrow is born of the belief that Britain and Ireland need the gospel of Christ as much today as ever, if not more so.

The book focuses on how this unchanging gospel can be presented to greatest effect in the twenty-first century in a wide variety of contexts. Above all, it intends to be practical-to help all Christians, and all local congregations, to see people of all ages converted and growing themselves as effective disciple-making Christians.

The book is a project of Counties, an organisation which came into being 125 years ago, to support local evangelists who at the time were seeing remarkable success in planting local congregations across England and Wales. Today, it supports over forty evangelists, encourages local churches in evangelism, and engages in church planting.

A number of today’s Counties Evangelists are contributors to the book, together with Martin Erwin (CEO, Counties) and Stephen McQuoid (a trustee of Counties and General Director of GLO Europe, a similar association promoting the mission of the gospel in wider Europe).
