During the last week of November, the leadership group came together for the time of planning and strategy development.  The main goal of the movement that has Billy Graham and John Stott as founders is ​Connecting influencers and ideas for global mission.

Evghenii represents Moldova in the steering committee.  The meeting was held in the suburb of Moscow at Zelenograd Baptist Church.   

The group was joined by the global leaders of Lausanne discussing the key networks and focus groups as well as development of the Russian speaking segment of the global movement, since Russian is one of eight official languages of the movement.  One of the biggest upcoming events is the Buisness as Mission gathering in June 2019 in Manila.  Other topics included evangelism through rehabilitation, persecuted church, theological education, leadership development, role of social media in evangelism, etc. 

Below is a short video report on this meeting for the Russian speaking evangelical community. 

My time at the Moldova Seminary was a real eye opener.  Coming from friendly Texas, I was surprised by the lack of response I received from many residents as I made my way around the community.  When I smiled or waved at them, they would look at me and then keep on walking.  I asked the students why this was happening and they explained to me that for adults who had lived almost their entire lives under Soviet oppression, there was little to smile about.  Anyone who smiled was obviously 'not from around here' or was probably untrustworthy. Added to this, I learned that evangelical Christians were considered far outside the norm and are often treated as a cult.  It would seem that evangelism would be nearly impossible... and then I saw the genius of what the Seminary is doing. 

Since during the summer hundreds of young children get to hear good news, many respond to the message of the Gospel.  Throughout the year the church organizes weekly Bible studies.  Alinarea church has been actively developing this in connection with the church plant.  From January to May there was one group meeting weekly.   But since September of 2018 there are now two groups led by Alinarea Bible Church volunteers.

During October visit to USA Evghenii had an honor sharing at First Baptist Church Belton, TX.  The church is a strategic partner of KBC Ministries in outreach through camps and training of the new leaders for the harvest.  

During the first part of the trip in October, Evghenii and Irina took a part in Global Summit of Scottsdale Bible Church.  It was wonderful week with the body of SBC.  There was an opportunity to connect with friends and partners in ministry as well as make new friendship and connections.

​
Teaching at MBS is a genuine delight.  The staff are helpful and the students are bright and eager to learn.  I taught Christian Ethics, and though challenging for the students, they were up to the tasks and all did well, particularly studying something which stretched their English language capabilities.  It is wonderful to teach students who delight in the Lord and serve Him with joy in their churches.

Evghenii was invited to speak at the graduation ceremony of the BMI (Bible Mission International) for those who completed the full correspondence course of thirty-five studies originally published by Moody Bible Institute.  These classes are vital in training especially those who serve in rural areas.  Our ministry have beed using these in prison ministry and an overall church member training.
