A ‘big God’ for a small and suffering land

Moldova flag

Until a couple of years ago, Moldova was a largely obscure backwater but, due to the war on its doorstep, Moldova now finds itself near the new dividing line between East and West.

Though great upheaval continues to dominate the region, Operation World statistics show that Moldova, and her neighbours Romania and Ukraine, are the three countries which have seen the greatest gospel growth within Europe in the last 35 years. After significant openness to Christ during the period following the collapse of the Soviet Union, there is now a deepening hunger for faithful Bible preaching amongst numerous evangelical churches in Moldova.

A growing number of churches are committed to preaching the whole counsel of God, through expository preaching. What started as an expository preaching group six years ago has now developed into Moldova’s Alianța Evanghelică Reformată (AER – Reformed Evangelical Alliance).
