For April, most of the teams will stay in Ukraine, working with college ministries, much like we did in China – developing relationships with students and sharing the Gospel with them.
Our team, however, like I said, will be near the capital city of Moldova, partnering with New Hope International. Their vision is to build bridges to mobilize churches that win the next generation for Christ. They do this through Christian youth clubs, camps, and social projects. They also run a transitional home for young adult orphans who are particularly vulnerable to human trafficking.
Next month (May), all teams will be working in Romania. And during June, we will explicitly “ask the Lord” to guide us (instead of being assigned to a ministry location after the prayerful consideration of the leaders). Do you have any ministry contacts in Eastern Europe?!
To read more about Moldova and Eastern Europe, read Stephanie Fisk’s recent blog posts. She is the squad leader for the July ’08 World Race team, and she has been scouting out potential contacts for us.
As former members of the Soviet Union, many of the countries in this region suffer from a spirit of division, so we ask that you PRAY for UNITY.
