Just the two meetings today for Leo & myself, both FRANK’s and both in the village of Baurci-Moldovrni.
#1: Heckled throughout my talk by an orthodox lady! I didn’t mind as it gave me a chance to answer her objections and cemented the difference between religion and the real gospel of Jesus Christ.

#2: A sit around the table and made it a more intimate evening, once again a very respectful listening to the visitors and onc e again a good response to the gospel.
Please pray for Pastor Igor & his wife Tatiana as they follow up the responders.

Thanks for your prayers. David has taken a flight back to England tonight still connected to the colostomy bag that the hospital inserted. We got advice from a doctor in the UK who says he needs attending to in England but that it is not presently life threatening as it were. However Dave and his family and us felt best to go home. Pray he gets quick and efficient treatment at home for this situation.

Two meetings for workers in factories,
Factory ‘1: Make fitted kitchens. Factory #2: was for mill workers.
Both special times especially the mill workers, a room full of big strong hard working men, who listened to the gospel and what a joy to see some of these men openly responding to the gospel.

The third meeting in Manta was a huge contrast, a room full of elderly women from an Orthodox background, rich in religion but no idea of the biblical gospel.
One lady latched onto an illustration and said as she left, “You have planted a seed of faith in my heart that will grow!”

Thanks for your prayers for Dave Orange, when we returned home at 18.00 his condition did not improve so it was down to A&E, 4 hours later and we head back to base, Dave will retire from the team due to his health and will return home early id that is practically possible.
Thanks for your prayers, things still not 100% sorted but this is Moldova and things are very, and I mean very basic at the hospital.

Change – a word that often summarises our Mission in Moldova.
The started with a change of destination, Leo and myself changed villages with Dave and went to Colibasi for two meetings, then the day finished with an additional unplanned change, a third meeting, this one being a funeral wake!

#1: A FRANK group in the Church, mostly believers who attended but several responded at the appeal.

#2: A FRANK group in a home, no response at the appeal, the first time this week, in one way sad, but a reminder that responses are not automatic or out of politeness, they happen as a result of God;s Holy Spirit at work. One lady called
Zenaida, said afterwards during a Q&A session, she was too old and it was too late for her to come to faith, please pray for her that God will show her, that while we have breath it is never too late!

#3: A WAKE for a believer who recently died, the family & mourners inside the house and in the garden and Leo and myself with Ecaterina our translator standing in the doorway to preach, and as requested by the Pastor, make an appeal.! We did a number of people responded to the gospel message.

3 meetings today
#1: Always good on a Sunday to meet the believers and preach at Biserica Emanuel, Leo shared his testimony and I did some Bible teaching for the Christians.

#2: Not a FRANK meting but more first encounter with the Christian faith, for the parents of some children who attend the Summer Camps. After we shared our testimonies we had a Q&A session.

#3: A FRANK meeting, in the village of Lebedenco, a Christian man invited his two unsaved brothers, their wives and some neighbours. Folks listened well and a good number indicating they had trusted Christ.
Please pray that Dina & Ivan will be able to follow them up.
