For the very first time a Global X mission team is heading to the country of Moldova, headed by Deb Avery. Below is the first letter to the team members:
My name is Deb Avery and I am the team leader for the June 11-17 short-term mission trip to Moldova. Our trip to Moldova is going to be awesome as this is the first NPCC short-term trip with this partnership. God’s Design Church was started in 2002 by Andre and Olga Tcacenco. Since then they have more than 200 regular attendees at their church and a vision to make relevant environments (as those at NPCC) in Chisinau, Moldova. They target two very specific audiences. One is the youth – high school to college students and young families with children. They have a terrific website www.horosho.md – take a look it’s in their native language which is Russianized…Romanian. (I think!!! It’s actually quite interesting as there are multiple nationalities and they all claim their own language as the desired language.) Anyway, they are such a vibrant group of leaders that they just soak up new concepts and have implemented so much already. I met them last year while they were here at the Drive conference.
We are still filling a few spots on our June team but should have this completed within the next week or so. I expect that we will have our first meeting around mid-March. I have Wednesday or Thursday nights available or we can meet on Sundays after church. Normally, we would start out meeting every two weeks and every week for the last couple of weeks. About 7 or so meetings in all. Let me know what will work best for you all.
In the meantime:
1) Please apply for your passport or renew it (if needed). Check the expiration date and if it due to expire within 90 days of our trip you might want to renew it early.
2) Pray for our team…that God will add two or three other members… whatever the number…that this will be His team. That we will be ready to serve.
3) Check out details on Moldova and the Church.
I will reach out to Andre in Moldova to make the initial contact and trust that I will have more details for our first meeting.
Take care and the Lord Bless You.
