Friends-
Here is an email we received this afternoon from Valeriu, the Bishop of Moldova and Parliamentarian-elect. See our sidebar for up to date information on the situation there. We encourage you to join with Sweet Sleep as we diligently pray for Valeriu and Moldova.
Dear friends,
Street protests erupted today in Chsinau, the capital city of Moldova. The demonstrations are a result of the huge disappointment that many people felt after the announcement of the final election results. The President and Parliament buildings have been vandalized. At this moment the Parliament building is under fire. The situation is out of control. Police withdrew from these buildings. Political leaders of the opposition met with the power, but so far the conflict has not been resolved.
I addressed the protesters a public message in which I invited them to pray, have peace and faith in Christ. Our churches are engaged in prayer today. Toma Magda, the European Baptist Federation President, who is in Moldova these days, and myself urge you to pray for peace and stopping of violence. Pray also for me, so I can play a peace making role and be a witness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in these crucial days for our nation.
Valeriu Ghiletchi
