Alcohol and drug abuse are rampant in Moldova.  Unfortunately, this country has been hit hard by the effects of those two addictive substances.  We know too many men and women that are desperately searching for the freedom that only Christ can bring.

Over five years ago, the church in Ribnitsa began ministering to addicts.  It started with one young man coming to Christ, but he still needed so much help to restore his life, build discipline, and to stay clean from drugs.  When a small house was loaned to the church, they started a residential home for this ministry.

Soon after, people began showing up at the door, looking for help as they hit the bottom.  The ministry happened because people cared and loved them, not because the leaders were experts!  Supernatural healing occured as people were freed by God’s power.

The small house was soon inadequate, and we were able to help buy an abandoned office building.  We are remodeling it right now; replacing windows, adding bathrooms, putting in heat.  We’ve gone two years with outdoor plumbing and inadequate heat, so we are pressing to get the basics in this year.

We know Jesus brings freedom.
We know God can transform.
We want to be faithful and allow God to use us to His purposes.
