Like many Eastern European and former Soviet
Socialist Republic countries, the Republic of
Moldova has been in a constant state of
transition. Citizens continue to struggle as
they search for and establish an ethnic
and national identity.

Moldovans are unified through the Orthodox
Church, which yields influence especially in
the cities and villages outside of Chisinau. But
as with any nominal church in a transitioning
country, the number of young adherents
are dwindling.
The overall population of Moldova is shrinking.
The country is the poorest in Europe. Many
leave their families to find work in the
European Union or Russia.

The hope of any nation rests on the character
of its people. And fruit of good character
comes from the transforming power of
Jesus.

As an international church, we recognize
the opportunity to reach Moldovans and
Expatriates. Both are living lives of transition,
and we are called upon to reach and equip
them to live as citizens of the eternal
Kingdom, so that they can impact others
as they live out the hope of Jesus.


Colossians 2:2- "My goal is that they may be
encouraged in heart and united in love,so
that they may have the full riches of complete
understanding, in order that they may
know the mystery of God, namely, Christ"
