The Children's Ministry of International Interns seeks to introduce children to Jesus Christ in Eastern Europe and Central Asia and to help them grow in His Word.

Evangelistic programs for children are held by teams and Leadership Development Institute students throughout the year.

LDI students and teams are equipped  with skills and resources in child evangelism and discipleship through training.

The Children's Ministry has reached out to children of the following groups: Moldovans, Romanians, Hungarians, Yugoslavians, Kazakhs, and Children of International Students in Moldova from Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Russia, Ukraine, and Georgia.

"Yes, Let the Children Come"

It has been a long winter, but not for Leadership Development Students in Moldova who have dedicated their ministry to children. Students like Ion Godoroja, from Sarcani, Central Moldova, focus on children’s ministry. Ion recently started a children’s ministry, that has seen many children come to know Jesus. Alexei Advahov held a 3-day camp for 45 children in Southwest Moldova. It was so effective that he is planning an outreach to non-Christian children and youth through a new sports ministry. Serghei Kuzmenco also in Southwest Moldova, shares the same passion for children, teens and youth. “I would like to set a great accent on children, teenagers and youth. This is the future of the church,” Kuzmenco said. However, this ministry wouldn’t be possible without the training and support of brothers and sisters in Christ overseas. “I often remember brothers who contributed to my personal spiritual growth, and to become useful to the Lord. I love learning from you,” said Gheorghe Gheorghian, an LDI coordinator in Central Moldova. Despite trials and setbacks these brothers in Christ fulfill their calling through children’s ministries. “Now, looking to the ‘footprints in the valley,’ I cannot say anything less except what Apostle Paul said once: ‘Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms,’” said LDI coordinator in Central Moldova, Alexei Bucsanu.
