Moldova
On August 28, 2017, our always smiling beloved brother and friend Anton Provorniy was taken from us due to a tragic car accident. His wife Lilia and daughter Dasha are badly injured and now in a hospital. Please pray that Lilia and Dasha continue to heal and that God helps them through this loss. Anton was often an interpreter for Valleydale's missions teams in Moldova. Valleydale has made a memorial donation to help the Provorniy family with funeral costs.
