Bible Clubs are a week-long program hosted by churches. Through games, songs, lessons, and crafts, children learn about Jesus' love. In 2023, 40 churches in Moldova and Transnistria hosted the Bible Club program. For 10 churches, this was their first time holding Bible Clubs for their community. What used to be only a summer program, churches now see it as an effective way to reach children with clubs meeting over school breaks, Christmas, and other times of the year.
Only 4.7% of the Moldovan population and less than 1% in Transnistria are evangelical believers. As a result, most individuals have not read the Bible or heard the hope of the Gospel. Bible Clubs are one of the few ways churches can actively reach children and their families with the Good News of Jesus in this region.
Through Bible Clubs this past year, more than 2500 children heard the Good News about Jesus and were invited to follow-up programs, mini-clubs, and Sunday services. "We were delighted by the changes seen in the hearts of children and how God worked--It's wonderful," says Oxsana, a Bible Club Leader. "Children asked for Bibles, and I know that some children are reading the Bible now...the most important thing is their growth in their relationship with God." As Lena, our partner and Bible Club Director, said, "The support received from Summit Missions International is a spiritual contribution to the young generation of these countries."
What's New?
Summit Missions International began the Bible Club ministry in 1994 and provides full sponsorship of the Bible Club program--teacher training, materials, craft supplies, and all lunches and snacks.
