This area of town is known as Micro 19, 20, and 21. I call it Zone 9 according to the "Galati Plan". I think each building contains about 40 apartments and each apartment probably no more than an average of 4 people. So each four story building would hold approximately 160 people. A 10 story high rise would hold 400 people.
We have 42000 people in Zone 9 which is the equivalent of about 25 villages! There are no Evangelical churches in this part of town. We are planning on working a cell type church into this area which can reach more people than a traditional style church can. Back home in Missouri , in Butler county alone, lives this same number of people with more than 300 evangelical churches in the phone book… (I literally got tired of counting them .....and quit). The closest city to this population where my family is from is Grand Junction Colorado. So imagine this county (Butler), and this city(Grand Junction), without one evangelical church! The city of Galati has about the same number of people as all of western Colorado has. One ladies prayer group that attends Holy Trinity has been praying for years that God would help them start a church here. So please pray that God will open up this part of town with the teams that are coming and that they would help encourage the national believers.
