With a population of 4.5 million, Moldova is the smallest and most densely populated of the former Soviet countries. It is also considered the poorest nation in Europe, with an annual income of about $450 USD. It is home to a mixture of peoples - Moldovans, Russians, Ukrainians, Bulgarians, and a Turkic people group, the Gagauz. The Moldovan people are mostly Orthodox. Although few attend church and many have never heard the Gospel, the Moldovans are considered spiritually open. Evangelical churches are growing despite occasional persecution and increasing poverty.

The OM Moldova team works alongside existing churches to help them be more active in evangelism, discipleship and church planting. They help to raise awareness of missions in churches and encourage Moldovan Christians to be more involved in local and world missions. This is done partly through discipleship and missions training programs, called Challenge Into Missions, which are held twice each year. Several nationals have served on the OM team in Moldova, as well as in South and Central Asia and the Middle East. Short-term teams – including pastors and young people alike – have gone into Central Asia to participate in the Love Silk Road campaign for the last few summers.

The base team is located in Chisinau, the capital of Moldova.  The ministry team in Telenesti has an intensive, life-changing ministry amongst children.  A second team in Paicu is helping to plant a church, as well as providing feeding programs and other much-needed ministries to children and the elderly. Sports ministry has become a major aspect of OM Moldova's ministry with several KidsGames programs held in different towns and cities throughout the country over the last couple of years.
