In 2008 God spoke to us to start working in the Republic of Moldova which is one of the poorest countries in Europe. This is a country that has a lot of corruption and government unstability. Recently, unemployment doubled which has caused even more hardships. Due to the political problems in the summer of 2009 we were not able to send a team out for evangelism. We ended up sending an evangelism team that fall.
As of today, besides evangelism, we are involved in youth and children camps. In the summer of 2010 we were able to hold our second youth and children’s camps. This was done, even though some local officials threatened us and tried everything in their power to stop us. They didn’t realize that their battle was not against us but against our Creator. Obviously our Creator won and we are looking forward to the work ahead in the years to come.
