Change – a word that often summarises our Mission in Moldova.
The started with a change of destination, Leo and myself changed villages with Dave and went to Colibasi for two meetings, then the day finished with an additional unplanned change, a third meeting, this one being a funeral wake!

#1: A FRANK group in the Church, mostly believers who attended but several responded at the appeal.

#2: A FRANK group in a home, no response at the appeal, the first time this week, in one way sad, but a reminder that responses are not automatic or out of politeness, they happen as a result of God;s Holy Spirit at work. One lady called
Zenaida, said afterwards during a Q&A session, she was too old and it was too late for her to come to faith, please pray for her that God will show her, that while we have breath it is never too late!

#3: A WAKE for a believer who recently died, the family & mourners inside the house and in the garden and Leo and myself with Ecaterina our translator standing in the doorway to preach, and as requested by the Pastor, make an appeal.! We did a number of people responded to the gospel message.

3 meetings today
#1: Always good on a Sunday to meet the believers and preach at Biserica Emanuel, Leo shared his testimony and I did some Bible teaching for the Christians.

#2: Not a FRANK meting but more first encounter with the Christian faith, for the parents of some children who attend the Summer Camps. After we shared our testimonies we had a Q&A session.

#3: A FRANK meeting, in the village of Lebedenco, a Christian man invited his two unsaved brothers, their wives and some neighbours. Folks listened well and a good number indicating they had trusted Christ.
Please pray that Dina & Ivan will be able to follow them up.

Preaching this morning @ Biserica Emanuel. Cahul.
Afternoon/evening will be several groups of people attending for the first time, so not a FRANK group but more an introduction to the Christian faith, prayer need for wisdom on how to pitch it and how to conclude the sessions.

The end of a long day!

3 meetings this afternoon/evening in Tiganca.
A great start for Leo as one of then men who came along was working in Madrid, and spoke fluent Spanish and so they could have a long chat (divine providence bringing them together), do pray for him as due to family pressure he did not want to make a commitment to Christ.
At each meeting several people responded to the appeal,
Pray for Dennis the Pastor who will do the follow up work.

Counties Hampshire is in Cahul District.
We landed in Moldova 00.35 and after a bumpy 2 hour journey we arrived at our accommodation in Cahul.
Not sure what is planned for this day, but we take it as it comes…

And there off! Penny Curley (attendee & seminar) & Kathy Curley (looking after the crèche) heading off to the Living the Passion conference.
A weekend of Bible teaching, seminars, fellowship, worship, children’s programme, refreshments, etc.

Guest speaker John McGinley.
John writes: “I am convinced that the renewing and reforming work that God is doing with His church today is actually a refounding on Jesus. In this conference we will journey through John’s Gospel, engaging with passages that help us to explore how God does this in our personal lives and with His church.”

Venue: Staverton Park Hotel & Golf Club, Daventry NN11 6JT
