Counties Hampshire is in Cahul District.
Two meetings today, this morning was a traditional Church service/preach, it was good to see 4 adults resond to the preaching by walking forward during the appeal.
This afternoon were joined the Church at Larga, last year it was just a plot of land and a small Church plant work with youth & children’s activities taking place in the community building, one year later they have a new building and it was Harvest celebration and thanksgiving for God’s provision of the new building. Great to join with other Chuirches to celebrate. Jamie shared his testimony and Pastor Seth (visiting from the USA) preached. A good occassion to celebrate God’s goodness.

Counties Hampshire is in Cahul District.
A long day but we are settled into our accommodation and looking forward to tomorrow!
The day started well when at Luton airport a Moldovan man overheard us talking and decided to join in the conversation, a chance to witness before we even boarded the plane!
Chaos in Chișinău as due to fog six planes were all circling and waiting for permission to land, when permission was granted, all six planes landed within minutes of each other, and so the scramble was on to get through the six passport control booths!
A bumpy drive to Cahul in beautiful sunshine was uneventful but seemed to be long, and here we are unpacked and raring to go,
Please pray for Jamie, he has back problems and he is in pain this evening, the room stinks of deep heat which hopefully will ease his pain and free up any blocked nostrils we might have – lol

We would value your prayers for the 10 day gospel preaching mission – what are we up to? Hopefully this post will explain all!

THE TEAM:
The team is made up of Myself & Jamie Broadey (from England) and we will meet up with Mark McCormick (Moldovan Mission) and Igor (Moldovan Evangelist).
The ten day mission is organised by Mark McCormick of The Moldovan Mission. The mission starts Sunday 27th October and we are due to fly back on Tuesday the 5th November.

THE DESTINATION:
We will fly from Luton and arrive into Chisinau International Airport on Saturday evening and travel to our base in Cahul, a city in southern Moldova.
Cahul is 112 miles, about two & half hours car travelling from the airport.

THE PROGRAMME:
Our programme for the day is often given to us each morning, we only know that on Sunday we will be preaching in at least one Church (maybe more) and we do house meetings, the three teams will visit 3 villages per day and we will hold 4 to 6 house meetings per day where we will be able to share/preach the gospel.

THE MISSION:
The mission is a planned FRANK mission (FRANK is an acronym for the believers unsaved Friends Relatives Associates Neighbours and Kids).
The believers pray every day for 12 individual FRANKs for 12 weeks asking God to draw them to Christ and also to open a door for them to make friends with their FRANKs and they will have invited them to attend the outreach meetings in their homes.

THE PRAYER REQUEST:

·Health (bed bugs, COVID, etc).
·Safety (bad roads & mad drivers).
·Energy (4-6 meetings per day).
·Guidance & flexibility over what to preach on.
·Translators, who are vitally important.
·Hearers to turn to Christ in repentance & faith.

Marchwood Infant School was first contacted with the Counties ‘Key to Life’ Expo in 2023 and this has opened up a regular opportunity to take assemblies.
