About the Ministry
Imago Dei ministries focuses on church planting and discipleship as a way to reach their community in Moldova for Christ. Imago Dei is the name of their first church which opened in October 2018. The leaders in the church disciple young men through a program called “Men Zone.” They even reach out to local schools to encourage teenage boys to sign up for the “Men Zone” mentorship program, where they would receive solid Bible teaching as well as friendship from older male mentors.
Imago Dei ministries focuses on creative community outreach like teacher trainings, visiting local authorities just to build relationships, Christmas and Easter events, English classes, and giving food to those in need. At the same time, the Christian ladies from the church invite non-Christian women they know to join them in these activities as a way to build stronger relationships and have Gospel conversations.
