We would value your prayers for the 10 day gospel preaching mission – what are we up to? Hopefully this post will explain all!

THE TEAM:
The team is made up of Myself & Jamie Broadey (from England) and we will meet up with Mark McCormick (Moldovan Mission) and Igor (Moldovan Evangelist).
The ten day mission is organised by Mark McCormick of The Moldovan Mission. The mission starts Sunday 27th October and we are due to fly back on Tuesday the 5th November.

THE DESTINATION:
We will fly from Luton and arrive into Chisinau International Airport on Saturday 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.

THE PROGRAMME:
Our programme for the day is often given to us each morning, we only know that on Sunday we will be preaching in at least one Church (maybe more) and we do house meetings, the three teams will visit 3 villages per day and we will hold 4 to 6 house meetings per day where we will be able to share/preach the gospel.

THE MISSION:
The mission is a planned FRANK mission (FRANK is an acronym for the believers unsaved Friends Relatives Associates Neighbours and Kids).
The believers pray every day for 12 individual FRANKs for 12 weeks asking God to draw them to Christ and also to open a door for them to make friends with their FRANKs and they will have invited them to attend the outreach meetings in their homes.

THE PRAYER REQUEST:

·Health (bed bugs, COVID, etc).
·Safety (bad roads & mad drivers).
·Energy (4-6 meetings per day).
·Guidance & flexibility over what to preach on.
·Translators, who are vitally important.
·Hearers to turn to Christ in repentance & faith.

Podcast Series: Making Jesus known today and tomorrow.

.
.
.
.

These podcasts are based on the book, ‘Making Jesus Known Today and Tomorrow.’

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).

Evangelism @ Speakers Corner. Hyde Park. London.

“Jesus Christ did not say, ‘Go into the world and tell the world that it is quite right'” — C.S. Lewis

Speakers Corner in London’s Hyde Park is the oldest free speech platform in the world. People won the right to speak in mass protests in the 1860s and early 1870s. Some people believe the tradition is connected to the right of the condemned to a last speech before being hung at the Tyburn gallows, a practice that stopped at the end of the 18th century. Every Sunday people from all sorts of convictions come to Hyde Park in the afternoon to spread their message or to have fun.
