What is happening with the church in Moldova? In this week's episode, Alex and Scott sit down with Mihai Chisari, a pastor and Live Global National Partner, as they discuss the challenges of evangelism and discipleship in one of the poorest countries in Europe. They'll discuss several factors that make ministry hard in this 96% Eastern Orthodox country including nominalism, the breakdown of families, the spread of poor doctrine in the church, and a national identity crisis. Mihai Chisari is a pastor, church planter, and Live Global National Partner. He pastors Imago Dei Church, mentors struggling young men, and teaches Moldovan pastors at Imago Dei Academy. His heart is to see the evangelical church in Moldova grow with proper doctrine, to raise up spiritually healthy men and leaders, and to train others to be evangelistically minded in their community. With over 3 billion people in the world who have never heard of Jesus, the global need is tremendous for workers to go into the harvest fields (Matthew 9:37-38). Is God calling you to missions? We'd love to have a conversation with you on how you can use your gifts and talents to advance the Great Commission at home and abroad.

Michelle Jones is a Pastor, Writer, Speaker from Portland, Oregon. She is one of our spiritual mothers, and a spiritual mother of the city. After years in the entertainment industry, Michelle became a Pastor at Imago Dei Church in Portland. In the wake of so many young people disillusioned with the church, Michelle offers a much more communal and family alternative to deconstruction. Rather than doubt and deconstruction as pushing away from the people of God, maybe hard questions are more like pulling up chair at the family table working through hard things together.
