This summer has been full of exciting ministry opportunities in Chisinau and across Moldova. God has been at work through our growing team. Here is a summary of what has been accomplished:
This quick overview will highlight:

    •    VBS in Russian and Romanian
    •    Church planting outreaches in Orhei and Komrat
    •    Restart and upgrade of evangelistic camps
    •    ESL Camp
    •    Apologetics Conference
    •    MBS students

The English as a Second Language (ESL) camps are particularly appealing to the younger generation, as proficiency in English opens doors to better educational opportunities and higher positions in society. We are thrilled that God brought together a team from the United States, who provided an outstanding curriculum that attracted over 50 young men and women. In addition to learning English, these students were given the opportunity to hear and respond to the good news. These are the young people who will continue to be engaged throughout the coming school year, making this an excellent way to reach the next generation with the message of hope.

The conference brought together over 130 leaders from various churches and Christian organizations from across the country dedicated to discipleship and training future leaders for Moldova and the surrounding region. It was a remarkable opportunity for these leaders, representing different churches and denominations, to connect, share their experiences, and pool resources. This gathering marks a significant milestone in building a stronger ministry and creating a platform that will shape the future of Moldova, with the potential to influence both Eastern and Western Europe.

One of the keynote speakers was Alan Platt, leader of the City Changers ministry. He inspired the audience by sharing his passion and vision for the Church to become a transformative force, driving positive change in the cities and towns it serves. Another influential speaker was Øivind Augland, the visionary leader of Exponential Europe. He presented a bold and ambitious goal: to plant one new church every day across Europe, demonstrating his deep commitment to church growth and expansion throughout the continent.

Evghenii Sologubenco is the visionary leader for Exponential Moldova, which is supported by a dedicated team of like-minded individuals from several churches and organisations.

​This time, the baptism at Kishinev Bible Church was held in collaboration with Pastor Rustam from the town of Orhei, where many Ukrainian refugees have been sheltered over the past two years. It was a powerful moment, witnessing people from Ukraine turn their hearts to Christ and join the church community in Moldova.

Victor and Claudia - a family from a small town near Mariupol. Today they are safe in one of the Chrisitian refugee centres in Chisinau. They are Jewish. They believe in Yeshua.

After twenty days with no water, no electricity, no heating and with bombs destroying more and more of the town they were rescued by Cristian volunteers in a convoy of seven cars after three unsuccessful attempts - first car was turned away at a checkpoint, second destroyed by the Russian military, killing the driver, and third wounding the driver. On the fourth attempt they were rescued by Christian volunteers.

It is not that they did not want to leave. They could not due to a city being under siege. On day twenty they sat down to eat in the evening. Claudia remembers getting up to pick up salt and seconds later bombs exploded near their home. She remembers her husband on the floor. The table destroyed by the shrapnel, windows shattered. As they got out out he house they saw three houses of neighbours destroyed. They were rescued the next morning.

Victor and Claudia are happy to be safe. Claudia said she had a very deep sleep and as she woke up she felt God stroke her hair in the morning, letting her know He is near. Last four days they are awaiting to be united with their two daughter and eight grandchildren. They give Glory to God for keeping them safe.

We are grateful for the Christian community of Moldova and believers in USA who came together and are able to help them.

Thank you for your prayer and support.

In Genesis 17 God introduces Himself to Abraham as El Shaddai - I Am God Almighty.

Thank you for your generosity, that allows us to continually provide for these people I’m need!

It was so cold my thoughts were freezing.

Pastor Rustam Kokirtsev made the deliveries provided by KBC Ministries to a local church in a village of Budei (outside of Orhei) that accepted over sixty refugees in eight homes. This is one of numerous centers, north of the capital, we partner with in providing for refugees.

Pastor Rustam is a student at Moldova Bible Seminary and a church planter in our partnership with CBC Global and Community Bible Church. (San Antonio, TX)

Everywhere pastor Rustam makes deliveries, he shares the Gospel and prays for people seeking comfort away from their homes.
