We are now home (back in the US)

After being away for a month, however it surely felt less, our missionary team is finally back in the states. It was a bitter farewell in Moldova but many are happy to be home with their families.

Being away for a whole month is a long time, but if you ask anyone, it felt like the month flew by. We were all preoccupied with countless things and hardly any time to notice the days going by. Every day was cherished because we all knew the day would come when we would have to say goodbye. Now being back in the states, all we have is wonderful memories to put a smile on our face, thinking about the amazing experience we had that God gave to us.

Thank you every one who kept our team and our service in Moldova in their prayers because we truly felt Gods’ presence and blessings in all that we did. It is amazing to see how families, churches and friends come together for a cause and we can see the fruit of all the prayers given up to God for our team. May God bless you, your family and your life.

Stay tuned for more blogs about are time in Moldova. The new posts will be posted accordingly. We will have more pictures and videos from a missionary trip to Moldova.

Outside Evangelism in the Protestant populated town of Kopchak

July 23, 2015, we visited a church with our missionary group in a town where mostly Protestant people lived; overall, it was a grand experience. For we were told of an outside evangelical gathering that we were currently heading to, but as soon as we got there, our expectations were greeted with a different perspective.

 

This was a small church holding about 15-20 members, therefore we had to take out all the benches outside and lead service outside. Near the back of the church, we noticed a hurdle of stones and rock slabs so we asked the pastor (which had around 18 kids) what the hurdle of stones were all about. He told us about a project they were working on, a project to expand the walls of their building to fit more members. From hearing these words, we were heartfelt for their struggles and decided, upon having money donations, to give them a little financial help. The service was very blessed through the songs, sermons, and poems that we shared.

 

After the service, the members of that church invited us to a late snack for the road. In addition, while we ate, we socialized with their good fellow members and found them to be full of passion for God and welcoming to strangers and guests. May God bless them abundantly for the effort and the sacrifices that they had to make to accept us into their warm hands. 

Visiting the Governor of Gagauzia

 

On July 20, 2015, our missionary team had the privilege to visit the Head of Gagauzia, Irina Vlah, and spend some time with her. The team ended up spending about an hour with the Governor and everyone seemed to enjoy the time spent there.

 

We presented our missionary shirts to the Governor and gave it to her as a gift on behalf of Charity Springs missionary. Along with the gifts, we sang some songs and blessed her. Irina Vlah is a good governor and wants the best for Gagauzia, to improve the well-being of the kids and the living conditions of the region. She told us that it makes her happy that those people that left fGagauzia from different towns, come back to visit and donate their time and finances to make a difference in the region. She believes that we can work together, helping each other to make the region of Gagauzia a better place for our kids.
