Moldova

MOLDOVA

RISK is an initiative to pray for all of Europe and see God transform Europe.  So we (Hadassah, Lene and myself) went to Moldova.  There were 3 countries that were having trouble getting teams, Moldova was one and the three of us volunteered to go. 

It is a beautiful country with two official languages: Romanian and Russian, not much English.  We had a great contact who helped us out with translation.  The three of us got the opportunity to live in an "at Risk" home for teens.  Seriously, makes you think when teens are so scarred at such a young age.  I feel blessed to have stayed in their home and been able to love on and encourage them while we were there.  We also did simple things like help them make jewelry and neck pillows so they could sell them at a fair to get money for the home

We also went to a Catholic center where we helped serve lunch to some elderly people and got the chance to encourage and love on the people there.  Our contact was telling us how the elderly were a lost generation, a forgotten generation.  It is sad, but unfortunately true in many countries.  I was glad I was able to give a smile and a hug to some.

The best part of our trip was the prayer time.  On Friday and Saturday at noon and 6 pm Norway time all the teams prayed for the countries they were in - WOW! Seriously, the three of us were amazed at the presence of God amidst our prayer times.  God is moving in Moldova and we were so grateful to be a part of it.  Please join with us in prayer.  Pray for hope, life and light to break through and for God's love to transform the people and the nation. 

" if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14

Please pray for Europe!
