This blog is usually set to share about our observations of life, ministry, and missions in Moldova. I love trying to explain about our nation, God's provision, and our friends and neighbors. We are a blessed family: wonderful friends, great churches, good ministry, supporters that pray and give, dogs. I could keep adding to that list!
But one that I want to add is a great team. We are so blessed to have the Darrins and the Bucks here in Moldova. There are others that have come in the past, all blessings in their own right. But we is still so much to do and not enough bodies to accomplish it all. From construction teams to the Home of Hope, new wells in the villages to kids and youth ministry....all require good leaders with servant hearts and the ability to work on a team.
We have two couples in the wings, waiting to get to Moldova. They are both coming as two-year associates, serving in their giftings and abilities. Don and Beth Minikel are from Kenosha, WI. They have huge support abilities, both in practical construction and administration, coming with glowing recommendations from their church and pastor. Patrick and Kalynna Stitt are graduates of Bethany College of Missions, with three boys and a heart to tackle the trafficking issue in the years ahead.
BUT both have huge challenges to getting their support raised. They don't have a long list of pastoral buddies, friends that allow them to preah in their churches. They don't come from wealthy homes, or have wealthy friends. They are just trying to do what they can do in order to serve in this country.
So I am writing this blog as a one-time event. I'd love to see if we could help these two couples get their support raised before the end of the year. They are coming lean, without a lot in the budget. They get enough to live, rent an apartment or house, take public transport, and serve. Their servant hearts are much bigger than their pocketbooks.
I wonder if we could get enough $5, $20, $100, $???? donations to give them the best Christmas ever...a green light to come to Moldova.

These two couples are so authentic, with hearts of gold. I hope you can be a part of blessing them this Christmas season.
