Prayer Posts and Calendar November 2010

We would love to have everyone's email address that is interested in receiving our prayer letter and/or our prayer calendar. If you would like to connect with us personally please email us at mmmoldova2009@gmail.com. Many prefer to go on our blog on their own, and we are glad that you choose to visit our blog! We have been blessed by teams that have come from the USA over the last couple of months! We had some of our WMU ladies from Georgia that provided a Women's Conference, a gentleman from Athens, GA who spoke on Biblical truths, a joint team of men from Alabama and Kentucky who came to evangleize in the city of Chisinau and in neighboring villages. We also had two women from Grace Community Church in Texas (Linda and Betty) and one leader of women from Timisoara Romania, Gina Bulica. These women spoke on discipleship and vision from God! We have included photos in hopes that you get a feel for the ministry that God is providing in Moldova. One day each week we are blessed to be able to teach English and help students with their English homework at a Day Center at the Baptist Church in Malcoci! They are a wonderful group of children, and our prayer is that they will learn about Jesus as they learn English. We focus on the alphabet sounds, homework from their class at school. commonly used verbs, Bible stories, crafts, and of course snacks! Enjoy the photos from our class!! (Coming Soon) God bless your day!!! Smile, God loves you!

Baptism of Teenagers in Cojusna

What a blessing to be able to attend the baptism of several of the teenagers that we worked with for a year and a half in Cojusna!! It is exciting to see God working in their lives!!!!!! We knew that you would want to be a part of this part of the journey in their lives, as well.
God's power in their lives will make all the difference in their future, and you have helped to be a part of that!! We look forward to seeing the plans that He has for each one of these young people. Thank you for your prayers for the ministry that we have the privilege of being part of here in Republic of Moldova through IMB!!
Smile, God loves you!

Summer Highlights in Moldova

Where has the summer gone?! Wow, it is hard to believe that it is time for school to start back. We wanted to share some of our summer highlights here in Moldova with you.
While we only had one team from Tennessee that came to work specifically with our IMB team and our ministry here, God has placed other ministries in our path and has given us great joy in working with them!! The team of two from Tennessee, Michael and Tara, were such a blessing to the children; they are close friends of our colleagues, Chris and Nancy Russell. They have a little boy at home, but they felt called to come and serve in Moldova and share God's love. This VBS was held at the Baptist Bible College in Chisinau for the children of the seminary students.
We also helped with a Kids Day at our church, Hope Church (Biserica Speranta), here in Chisinau. It was a great day of learning about the possibilities of becoming a missionary, and they learned different ways that they can serve God. The other two leaders were Aurica and Ana; both are members of Hope Church, and both work with mission organizations here in Moldova, i.e., Bible League and Child Evangelism Fellowship.
We have worked with as few as seven children and with as many as 200 children at various camps. The wonderful thing about it is that most of the leaders have been from Moldova, and it is a blessing to see God working in these young adults lives to spread His love and His gift of salvation through Jesus Christ!!!
There were two other groups that God placed us with this summer. One group was here through Pastor Eduard Edu's church, Springs of Life (Izvorul Vietii). Most on this team were from Constanta Romania, but a couple were from Oradea Romania. We were with them in Corjova for several days. The children had a wonderful time, planned great skits about what they had learned, and the team went into the village telling about Jesus' love! Many Bibles, tracks, and reading glasses were handed out that week.
The other group that we worked closely with was through Marina, a missionary from Germany. The leaders were from Moldova, and they were wonderful with the children!! There is not an evangelical church in the village where we went so the team stayed at a school. There were so many children at this camp, and they definitely heard about Jesus that week. We had clowns, skits, treats, crafts, games, testimonies, small group time for Bible study and sharing time. The focus was Jesus is The Way, The Truth, and The Life!! There are plans to return on Sunday afternoons to reconnect with the children and have sports activities!
Please pray for all of these children who have heard about the great love that God has for them! May they realize that the void in their lives can only be filled by Jesus!!
Smile, God loves you!
