Trip away to Hincesti



I had the priviledge of being invited to speak at a conference in the church at Hincesti last Sunday.

Igor, in the blue shirt, a former boxer, is the leader of the work but his brother beside him Mitea also assists and they have a pastoral couple Daniel and Emily from USA that are also involved in the minstry.




Hincesti is a big city with 40,000 residents and there is much work to do but many doors have been opened to them


One such opportunity is using their sporting gifts.


Here is one of the sports teams that they have trained getting certificates


The meetings with such groups include bible teaching
They have many other opportunites and not just with young people.



Zina, is also one of their members and works in the university with students and Emily is from the Peace Corps and has an outreach minsitry there also



Pray for them as they seek to make the most of all the opportunity that they have and as they seek to get a bigger building .

Daniel, who is holding the child in blue is teaching English using materials that employ the gospel of John and these materials have been used already to bring many in this land to Christ.


Emily, his wife beside him, runs the Sunday school in the church.


Meanwhile back at the ranch.
We had around 100 adults at the meeting this morning which means around 50 non Christians or new believers.
One young woman - Olia - gave her life to the Lord this morning after the meeting. Larisa will follow her up
Ion and Carolina who gave their lives to the Lord this week were there. We meet with them to do a first new believers study on Thursday
Igor and Vera were there and we meet with them on Tuesday.
Keep us in your prayers
Pastor Mark
