Big mission changes coming June 2018

(From LDS news) Maldova will be part of the renewed Kiev mission

In June 2018, the territory of the Republic of Moldova with branches of the Church in Chisinau, Beltsy and Orghivia will be part of the renewed Kyiv mission.

As previously reported, as part of the redistribution of 19 missions and the creation of 5 new missions, the borders of Ukrainian missions also changed. The entire territory of the Lviv mission will be part of the Kievan city. Branches in Lviv, Rivne, Lutsk, Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernivtsi will remain united in the Lviv region, which will become a unit of the updated Kiev mission. Simultaneously from the Kiev mission to Dnipro will pass Odessa district with branches in Odessa, the Black Sea, Nikolaev and Kherson.

After these changes, the current Kyiv mission will be called the Ukrainian Kyiv-based Moldovan mission and will be handled by members of the Church of Chernihiv, almost the entire right-bank Ukraine (with the exception of the Dnipro region and branches of the Odessa district) and Moldova.

On the territory of the updated mission of Kyiv, the preaching of the gospel will be carried out in three languages: Ukrainian, Russian and Romanian. Also, starting from June, the missionaries, who were called to preach in Ukrainian, will serve in the parishes of the Kiev Circle.

The first missionaries were sent to Moldova in 1997, in the same year, the first branch of the Church was organized in this country. In December 1998, on December 23, Moldovan saints received a complete translation of the Book of Mormon into Romanian as a Christmas gift. Today in Moldova there are 397 members in four branches.
