Transforming a nation through prevention, restoration and leadership development programs.
Moldova is the poorest country in Europe, and life for many is full of difficulties. Few opportunities exist within the country, which has led to a mass migration of Moldovans–all in search of work abroad. Many children are without parental care or proper education. Those still living with parents often experience domestic abuse and neglect. Human trafficking in Moldova is also an ever-present danger that causes trauma and brokenness. Women and children in the country are especially vulnerable to human trafficking.
Our local partner in Moldova is committed to serving the most vulnerable people in their society through holistic programming and training future leaders.
Together, we serve and transform communities in Moldova through our holistic programming and training future leaders.
Featured Projects
Studio of Innovative Leadership
The Studio of Innovative Leadership (SIL) is an open platform to equip a new generation of vibrant Christian leaders in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The ultimate goal of the program is to reshape culture and produce long-term transformation through the development of relevant and innovative ministries. The program identifies visionary Christian leaders and launches them as catalysts in society. There are currently 116 students in the program. Around 50 % of SIL students are in full-time ministry and 80-85% are active ministers in their churches. Their initiative to impact their societies for the gospel span from church-based to ministry enterprise, to social and business enterprise. It is exciting to see SIL leaders creating inroads for the gospel in secular and Muslim contexts and among least reached peoples in a number of restricted access countries.
Leaving with whatever food and clothing they can carry, thousands of Ukrainians flee for safety.
There is a humanitarian crisis in Ukraine and surrounding countries caused by the conflict in Ukraine. As more and more refugees cross the border, people need essential care. Partners International is providing support to our Moldova partner, and the associated church networks on the borders of Ukraine. Beginning of Life also partners with the Moldova Department of Child Protection. Moldova is the poorest nation in Europe and these churches are assisting with housing, hot meals, assistance with documents (where needed), child care, and transportation. Beyond immediate relief, they anticipate waves of refugees who will stay longer and need further support.
