“On this rock, I will build my church”

A building team from New Life Church in Princeton MN.

Last week a team was here from Princeton MN. We had a great week together building a church in the city of Bubeiech. The church has been meeting in a home but has outgrown it. They had a family donate a small plot of land to them which was very swampy. Their original thought was to use the land to raise and harvest fish. God gave Pastor Sahsa the idea to bring in a bunch of dirt and fill in the swamp. Now this land is where we are building a church.

It was very hot out and sunny this week and I would come home each night with a sweat drenched shirt and muddy pants. We had a lot of traditional Moldovan food this week as the pastor’s wife cooked up a ton of food for the missions team. From Monday to Friday we were able to build eight rows of wall, pour a concrete floor, two concrete patios and did a lot of other small stuff for the church. The pastor was overjoyed at our progess. Two groups come in October who will help to continue the building process.

Also, the second weekend of October, we will do a large outreach here with food bags for adults, music groups performing, carnival games for children, children’s gospel presentations, free haircuts, free eye exams…. Anything we can do to share Christ with the people of this village. Please pray that this outreach would be a HUGE success!
