From February 21 to March 1, 2025, the Ephesus Seventh-day Adventist Church in Chisinau, Moldova, hosted an evangelistic series titled "The Time is Fulfilled," aimed at deepening faith and sharing the message of Jesus Christ. The program, led by Ilia Vylku, with Ruslan Bulgak, secretary of the Moldova Union Mission, serving as translator, focused on different aspects of Christ’s character and love each night.
Approximately 200 attendees, including church members and guests, gathered daily for the meetings, which featured Bible-based messages, music, and prayer sessions. A separate children’s program was also organized to engage young participants in an age-appropriate way.
Global Reach Through Digital Broadcasts
Beyond the in-person audience, the program’s livestream on Hope Moldova’s digital platforms extended its reach far beyond Chisinau. On average, the event was viewed live from more than 800 devices each night. Several congregations, small groups, and house churches across Moldova and beyond gathered to watch the series together, demonstrating the growing impact of digital evangelism.
Musical groups from various cities and villages across Moldova contributed to the worship experience, enhancing the spiritual atmosphere with performances of sacred music. At the close of each evening, prayers were offered for the personal requests and spiritual needs of attendees and viewers, underscoring the program’s focus on faith and community support.
A Culmination in Faith Commitments
The evangelistic series concluded with a baptismal service on Saturday, March 1, marking a significant milestone for three women who publicly committed their lives to Christ. Additionally, about 15 individuals responded to an altar call, expressing their desire to draw closer to God and accept Him as their personal Savior.
Organizers described the event as a powerful demonstration of faith and commitment, highlighting the transformative impact of the program on those who attended in person and those who participated online.
Looking Ahead
The success of "The Time is Fulfilled" evangelistic series underscores the Adventist Church’s ongoing efforts to spread the message of hope and salvation in Moldova and beyond. With digital platforms amplifying reach, faith leaders anticipate that similar initiatives will continue to inspire and strengthen communities around the world.
The Euro-Asia Division (ESD) of the Seventh-day Adventist Church oversees the church’s work across several countries, including Russia, Belarus, and other nations in the region. The division focuses on spreading the Adventist message through evangelism, education, and health ministries, supporting local congregations, and providing humanitarian aid.
