club building but has outgrown the facility.

to the full $20,000 needed will be appreciated!

Bethlehem Baptist Church Building
#80820 |
Bethlehem Baptist Church in Vulcanesti, Moldova, is the only
all-Romany church in the country. The villagers began renovating
an old store building as a place of worship in 2000. American
volunteers assisted in the rebuilding in 2001. The villagers would like to
complete renovation by partnering with brothers and sisters in America:
every dollar raised by locally in Moldova will be matched by others. It
may take some time to complete the building in this manner, but
provides more local ownership and accountability. Even though most believers are very poor, the villagers
have already collected enough to put in the window
frames. |

thriving churches.
