Welcome to Moldova!

Welcome to Moldova!

You'll arrive at Chisenău International airport, where you'll be greeted by your hosts and travel two hours together to the Biseriсa Lumina Lumii Church (translated as The Light of the World Church) in Bălți, Moldova. 

You'll join with another Exodus team for two days and get stuck into the launch programme: a programme packed full of fun, team building, learning about Moldovan culture with a visit to the close-by city, ministry preparation, and exploring the Bible together.

After completing the launch programme, you'll travel with your host Pastor Pavel and his team to the Sfânta Treime (Holy Trinity) Church in Cantemir. You'll stay with your host, typically in a home or church hall, and join their community for the week.

Your team will lead kids clubs in the neighbouring villages, run youth programmes, undertake practical work and visit families in need. 

This time is perfect if you love to embrace adventure, serve others and immerse yourself in a new culture.
