Over the last few years, we’ve been hard at work building a coalition — a network of hope — to reach out to some of the most vulnerable in Eastern Europe. Your prayers and support have made this possible, and today I want to share a powerful update on what God is doing through the PATH Network in Moldova.
A Nation in Need
In Moldova, hundreds of adolescent, at-risk, and orphaned teens are released from state care as early as age 14. With no support system, the majority fall into tragic cycles of trafficking, addiction, imprisonment, or suicide before reaching adulthood. The issue is not just abandonment — it’s the lack of a path toward independent, abundant living.
That’s where you have helped change the story.
Building the Bridge
Through your faithful partnership, we’ve been uniting some of the most dedicated local, indigenous leaders and ministries in Moldova—including Communitas, Youth for Christ, Pilgrims, and Holy Trinity Christian Center, with more partners joining along the way. We’re combining their passion and on-the-ground experience with the strategic resources and global expertise of international partners like ChildVoice and the Isaiah 61 Foundation.
Together, as one team in Kingdom partnership, we’re seeing heaven touch earth—transforming lives and communities one step at a time.

This is one of our PATH homes for girls, where orphaned and at-risk young women are now living together in safety. They are learning life skills, sharing meals, studying the Word, and being mentored by caring house parents. Each smile represents a life that could have been lost but is now being restored.

Our local leaders meet weekly with these young women to disciple, mentor, and guide them on their journey toward independence. These moments are filled with prayer, laughter, and hope — a picture of what redemption looks like in community.

Ten Young Men Now On The Path to Independent, Abundant Living
And it’s not just the girls. Our boys’ PATH home, known as Elevation House, is also thriving. These young men are discovering purpose, responsibility, and the love of Christ through daily discipleship and skill development. Each one has a story of loss and trauma, but now they’re finding healing and a future.
A Movement Taking Root
After years of prayer, planning, and partnership, the PATH Network is no longer just a vision — it’s a living, growing movement that is restoring lives in Moldova. Every meal shared, every class taught, and every prayer prayed is a seed of transformation that you’ve helped plant.
A Picture Worth a Thousand Words

They say a picture is worth a thousand words—and I think this one speaks volumes about why we do what we do.
Each of these young men has a story that could bring you to your knees. Stories of loss, abandonment, and pain that most of us can hardly imagine. But today, through the work of the PATH Network and the bridges we’re building together through Kingdom Bridges Ministries, their story is being rewritten.
These boys now live in what we call the Restart Home—a place that looks and feels very different from anything they’ve ever known. Many orphan care programs, even Christian ones, focus on providing housing, meals, and basic care. While those are essential, they often overlook a deeper question: Are these young people being prepared for independent living?
Without that step—without the chance to heal, to grow, to develop life and faith skills—many orphans remain stuck in the same cycle they came from, just a few years older. That’s why the Restart Home is so different. It’s not just a shelter; it’s a launchpad for transformation. Here, these young men receive discipleship, mentoring, education, and practical training to help them build healthy, self-sustaining lives.
And perhaps the most meaningful moment captured in this photo is this: for many of them, this was the first time they’ve ever owned a Bible of their own.
Holding God’s Word in their hands, they’re discovering not only hope for this life but eternal life in Christ.
This picture is the “why” behind every prayer, every gift, and every partnership. It’s what happens when heaven touches earth—one life at a time.
Looking Ahead: The Path Continues
In just a few weeks, Pastor Jeff will board a plane for the first time since his surgery to travel back to Moldova and Ukraine. This trip will be a time to reconnect with our partners on the ground, visit the homes, encourage our teams, and participate in a series of strategic meetings that will shape the next major phase of our work — the Summit Center.
The Summit Center is the next step in the PATH Network — the bridge between our residential homes and full independence. Beginning in January 2026, the young people currently living in our PATH homes will start attending classes and trainings there. They’ll receive guided instruction, counseling, mentoring, and tutoring, all designed to prepare them for the next stage of life.
This program is not just about education — it’s about equipping them to live healthy, Christ-centered, independent lives. Over time, as they graduate from the PATH homes, these young adults will begin moving into independent apartments surrounding the Summit Center. There, they’ll participate in job training and job placement programs, learning to budget, work, and live responsibly — supported by mentors and the larger Kingdom Bridges family.
This network is growing.
The vision is becoming reality.
And the movement is spreading.
We believe a day is coming when the cycle of abandonment and despair among the most vulnerable youth in Eastern Europe will be reversed — when we will truly see heaven touch earth. Through the PATH Network, these young people are finding healing, purpose, and the chance to live abundant lives in Christ.
But we can’t do it without you.
Your prayers, your partnership, and your generosity have brought us this far — and we’re moving forward in faith to see even more lives transformed. As we approach the end of the year, would you prayerfully consider making a special gift to help us continue this work?
Every dollar makes a difference.
Whether it’s $25 or $25,000, each gift helps us:
Support and sustain our residential homes,
Fund the ongoing development of the Summit Center,
Expand capacity to open new homes for the thousands still waiting. We’ve already received heartbreaking videos of young people begging for a chance — showing us where they’re living, pleading simply to have a place to belong.
For many there’s no one else to care for them. Together, we can change that.
We’re building this the right way — strong, sustainable, and ready to multiply. But we need your continued help to keep moving forward.
From Pastor Jeff’s Desk
Friends, thank you for standing with us. Your prayers and generosity are literally changing futures—one son, one daughter at a time. As we press forward in faith, we’re asking the Lord to multiply this work so every young person who’s waiting can step onto a path toward life in Christ.
With gratitude and hope,
Pastor Jeff
