Adolescents outreach



This is a picture of the adolescents group that a team of our believers led by Igor and Tanya are working with.

About 30 come each Tuesday to the group and share friendship in games, etc but also split into groups for a bible study designed to show them the way to a relationship with Christ

Only 4 of these kids have families that come to the church.

The series of studies are designed to reach a climax at around the new year in a 4 day winter camp we hope to be able to do again this year as we did for the last two years in Chisinau using the premises of O.M.

Two years ago saw Doina and Aliona commit their lives fully to Christ during this time and they were amongst those who were baptised this October

We ask you to pray with us that we are able to do this 4 day event again this year and that similar responses occur that lead to changed hearts.

We hope to run the camp Dec 25-30

Tony Anthony

We were priviledge to have former 3 times world champion in Kung Fu and now international evangelist Tony Anthony with us in the South of Moldova from Nov 7-16.

Here is one of the outreach meetings he did in Vad lui Isaac.


In total around 5000 came under the sound of the word of God through his ministry during the 9 days here in 22 different locations.


Tony also did 2 Release conferences with over 500 believers in total getting teaching and training in evangelism that leads to them being better equippped to share the gospel themselves.

Although Tony spoke to bigger crowds (over 1200 in Colibasi)

I found this event in Pelinei particulraly encouraging.

Pelinei is one of the church plants we are working with and they have just 22 members but here around 250 people attended the cultural house and heard the gospel clearly preached.

These ones came not only from Pelinei but also 3 other nearby villages where the church in Pelinei is working.

Speaking to Misa, the pastor afterwards we both felt that a week long mission in the cultural house surely must be done to follow up on what is a notable interest among these villagers.

Please pray for this.

Please also pray for Tony who left immediately from us to the Ukraine for another 10 days of mission and has his calendar booked for speaking engagements of all kinds until 2010

Eurovangelism Conference

Thank you all for your prayers for our trip to England to attend and speak at the annual conference of Eurovangelism.

Eurovangelism has been working in Eastern Euopre since the 1960's and has thousands of supportes in prayer and finance throughout the world as well as 100's of churches.

They work at encouraging, resourcing and equipping churches throughout Europe ( primarily in Eastern Europe ) in whatever way the church partner wants.

We've been working with them for around 3 years now receiving aid, support for pastors and training courses that we wanted which has assisted not only the work in Gotesti, Chircani and Constantinovca but also in 7 other church plants that we are also involved with.

We had a lovely relaxing 3 days before the conference staying in the missionary flat above the offices of Eurovangelism in Bristol and then a thoroughly encouraging time at the weekend conference.

We met so many people of the same mind and heart regarding the work in Eastern Europe and heard of much that was encouraging.

We also had many encourage us before and after our presentation of the work in Moldova.

Our final engagement before returning to Moldova was to speak in St Botolph's C of E near Kettering where again we had a lovely encouraging time and made new friends who want to link with us.

I am sorry to say that I was so intensely involved in the events in UK that I did not take one decent photo of any of the above but if you want to see more or find our more about Eurovangelism as an organisation please check out their web site

I thoroughly recommend them
