About Our Trip
Carol and I (John) are planning a Missions Trip to Moldova with our church, Neighborhood Assembly of God. We will be part of the second team to go to Moldova. We will be leaving for Moldova on October 2, and will return on October 13. We will try to rest up some on the 14th and get back to work on the 15th. Some areas that our church is working with our Moldovan Missionaries are: Building a church, work on the Home of Hope for trafficked women, digging deep wells for clean water, and purchasing farm land.
Moldova is a land locked country between Romania and Ukraine. It is one of the poorest nations in Europe with a large number of the people living outside of the country, working and sending money back home to live on. There is much trafficking of women and children, and them being sold as sex slaves or for free labor. Many of these women are sent to the US and other parts of the world. Yes, the slave trade is alive in America and around the world.

Missions Banquet - April 12, 2008
 On April 12, 2008, Neighborhood Assembly of God had its first Missions Banquet. We heard from Andy Raatz live in Moldova using Skype. Click on the picture to the left to see a slide show of pictures from the excellent banquet. Neighborhood Assembly of God raised $50,000 that night to help purchase a well drill, and some good farming land. Praise the Lord!
Please, pray for our team, that all preparations will be met.
