Planning a 2027 trip to Moldova
NPC members are developing a small group to discern where God is leading NPC in ministry for Moldova, building on the nearly 35-year history of the relationship between NPC and Christian brothers and
sisters in that country.
There are five key aspects of these plans:
- Consider the conceptual framework of the NPC as both a “confessional and missional church,” as Dr. Hylton
described in his “Mercy in Action” sermon (September 28, 2025 see at 46:34)
- Engage in discipleship study and involve younger NPC members
- Plan for monthly meetings from March though December 2026
- Re-start the regular prayer time for Moldova
- Plan with UDG a collaborative ministry trip to Moldova in the spring/summer 2027, where Dr. Ray Hylton and Judith would be members of the team.
For further information on these plans or if you would like to consider participating, please contact NPC UDG liaison Susan Fickling or David Wallace or Howard Frost.

Church visit and lunch with Valeriu Ghiletchi, February 1, 2026
NPC members welcomed long-time friend Valeriu Ghiletchi to worship on Sunday, February 1 and to a luncheon and “Fireside Chat” afterward. Participants enjoyed asking Valeriu about his family, church, and work during lunch. Near the end of lunch, hosts Howard Frost and David Wallace had a “Fireside Chat” where they interviewed Valeriu on key topics of ministry, life, and politics in Moldova. The main topics were:
- The 2024/2025 Presidential Election, EU Referendum, and Parliamentary election

- Moldova’s role in Europe – stability, security, the EU, Russia, Ukraine
