Ministry Opportunities
Where in the world is Moldova? Moldova is a landlocked country, sandwiched between Ukraine and Romania, just north of the Black Sea. As a part of the former Soviet Union, Moldova came into existence when the U.S.S.R. collapsed, formally beginning in 1991. It is the poorest country in Europe with high dependency on money from Moldovans working abroad.
After years of being a closed country, Moldova is now open to the gospel. Believers meet freely and without fear, committed young pastors are ready to be trained, the church is experiencing new growth. What an amazing opportunity to be there in person to serve and see for ourselves what the Lord is doing in another part of the world!
The team will mainly be working with a local church pastor to serve in whatever areas of need/ministry. This could range from ministering in orphanages, prisons, sports and various camps, vacation bible schools, and in other local churches. The sky is the limit!
Leaders
Nick (LBC alumnus) currently serves on staff at LBC as the Director of Christian Service while Sharon is the Assistant Director of the Degree Completion Program. They actually met in another former Russian republic, Kyrgyzstan, while serving with Youth with a Mission (YWAM) and have recently celebrated their 6th wedding anniversary. They enjoy all things global and culturally diverse; most of all, they are excited to see how this Moldovan adventure will unfold and impact the lives of all involved.
