The Ten Commandments in Moldova
How a Government Decision Helps Spread the Word of God

Thank God for this international missionary book The Ten Commandments. It is very obvious to God’s children here in Moldova that God has a plan for our country and this special book.

Recently the Moldovan government made a decision to erect a monument of the 10 Commandments in the center of the capital city, Chisinau. Our Adventist members were so excited. But then we heard that another church group was distributing a book about the Ten Commandments which explained the fourth commandment with a different meaning than its original Biblical meaning. As a result, our Union leaders decided to publish 280,000 copies of the missionary book The 10 Commandments. Thus the program called “Christ for Moldova” was born.

The goal of this program is to place a copy of this book into each home in Moldova. We have 12,000 Adventists in Moldova. This means that each member will have 23 books to give out to his family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors. To date, 150,000 books have already been given out and another 130,000 are ready to be distributed. The church members are very thankful for this program and they are spreading this book with great joy, and Moldavians who have already received this book are very grateful. The decision by the government was an impetus for us to help spread this book like the leaves of autumn.

We believe this project will be a great blessing for Moldova. Each book is accompanied by a brochure containing the 10 Commandments and more information about the Seventh-day Adventist Church. We are able to produce this wonderful little book for US $0.28 each. The church members pay only $ 0.09, and the Union and Conference will pay the remaining cost.

With this program we believe the prophetic word is being partially fulfilled: the books will be spread like leaves falling down in autumn and they will speak about God’s love.
