So far nearly everyone I've told that I'm going to Moldova has looked at me with a blank stare and asked "Moldova, where in the World is Moldova?" Well, in case you're curious to know, it's a tiny, landlocked country smack dab in the middle of Romania and Ukraine, it's below Poland and above the Black Sea and was once part of the USSR.
The team met for the first time nearly two weeks ago and we're all very excited about the trip. This Sunday we will meet with Andre, the pastor of "God's Design Church" our Global X Partner Church in Chisinau, Moldova. Andre and his wife and a few of the church team members will be in town for the DRIVE Leadership Conference put together by North Point Ministries. The church has been around for about seven years and has been a North Point Ministries partner for about five. They're growing well and have quite a few regular attendees and they desire to get Small Groups/Community Groups moving in the church and we will go and help them get groups started.
Also, since the latest Starting Point Conversation Guide has been translated into Russian we will be bringing the Starting Point "Curriculum" to them as well. Starting Point is a 10 week Small Group Environment for Seekers, Starters and Returners and is a perfect environment for participants to get a taste of what Community Groups are all about.
As we get to know each other and our mission better we'll fill you in on more details so you'll know how to pray for us but in the meantime please pray that we become unified as a team and that the Lord would clearly show us exactly what He wants us to do.
In His Mighty Grip
