Missions Prayer Focus -Moldova

Greg Burton is our partner in Moldova. Through him, we have the opportunity to pray for two communities there, Tiganca and Larga. Pray for Greg as he ministers to these communities. Moldovans lead the church planting in both towns. Ask God to bring to them those adults and students who are ready to hear the gospel. During summer outreach camps, kids take a craft and a gospel message home to their families each day. Thank the Lord for this ministry opportunity. Pray that He will touch the hearts of many as they learn from the Bible.
