Delivering bicycles to Moldova

OM International
English/Español

OM Moldova hopes to attract cyclists and adventurous people on short-term outreaches to various villages this summer. To make these outreaches possible, they asked OM EAST to help organise bicycles.

Edwin, from OM EAST, travelled to Switzerland to fetch 12 mountain bikes and spare parts for this purpose. But when he tried to repair a flat tyre back home, he realised that no provision had been made for repair equipment. He then purchased the repair equipment to send with the bicycles to Moldova, and delivered the bicycles at OM Hungary's base a week later. The bicycles were then loaded onto the Bus4Life and transported to the Romanian border. But, because of customs issues, they could not enter Moldova. The team started to pray.

God answered the team’s prayers! The bicycles arrived safely in Moldova, just in time for the first Love Moldova outreach. Praise God for His provision! Praise God for great partnerships between OM teams in different countries to make these outreaches happen. Please pray that many will hear the Good News through summer ministries in OM.

ENVÍO DE BICICLETAS A MOLDOVA – OM EAST
OM Moldova espera atraer ciclistas y aventureros para un programa de alcance de corto plazo que se realizará en varias aldeas este verano. Para hacerlo posible, le pidieron ayuda a OM EAST.

Edwin de OM EAST, fue el encargado de ir a Suiza y traer 12 bicicletas mountain bike y algunos repuestos para este propósito. De regreso en su casa trató de reparar una rueda pinchada, y se dio cuenta de que no había comprado herramientas para las bicicletas. Compró un equipo de herramientas y las envió con las bicicletas a Moldova. Entonces cargaron las bicicletas en el Bus4Life (Bus para la Vida) y las llevaron desde Hungría hasta la frontera de Rumania. Pero las autoridades de aduanas en Moldova no las dejaban entrar. El equipo comenzó a orar.

¡Y Dios contestó la oración del equipo! Las bicicletas llegaron a salvo a Moldova, justo a tiempo para el primer programa de Amo Moldova. ¡Alaba a Dios por su provisión! Alaba a Dios por el gran compañerismo entre los equipos de OM en diferentes países que hizo posible que se realizaran estos programas. Por favor ora para que muchos escuchen las Buenas Nuevas a través de este ministerio de verano de OM.
