God uses a broken family to reach an entire village with the gospel.

In our local dialect, the word taabet means “a cup.” It is a fitting name for a particular village that would one day be filled with the living water of God’s truth. Through the personal pain of one village family, Taabet became filled with a message of hope.

David Misoi’s life has not been easy. Tragedy struck when his wife Emmily unexpectedly passed away. The father struggled to raise his three children alone, and as life grew more difficult, David made the painful decision to place his daughters in an orphanage. This left him and his son Ezra together as they fought to meet their basic needs.

Amid this hardship, a new chapter began to unfold. One day, young Ezra connected with the local Seventh-day Adventist church through a dedicated team of gospel workers led by Pastor Daniel Bett. When Ezra joined their door-to-door evangelism efforts, his heart was touched by the truth of God’s Word. He found purpose, peace and a new identity in Christ and sealed his commitment through baptism.

Ezra made it his mission to share this newfound faith with his family and community. He knew that Taabet—heavily influenced by other religious traditions—had never heard the Adventist message, and he felt called to change that.

With courage and vision, Ezra organized an evangelistic campaign right at their home in the village. David supported the idea and welcomed the evangelism team into his home. For three weeks, day and night, the village became alive as people gathered to hear the good news of Jesus Christ. Lay Bible workers also prayed and studied the Bible with families in their homes. Many hearts were touched by the truth. One by one, people accepted truth. At the close of the campaign, a church plant was established—rooted in the very heart of the Misoi family.

David and Ezra, once broken by loss and hardship, became pillars of the new congregation. Moved by the love of Jesus and the joy of salvation, they donated a piece of their land to serve as a Sabbath meeting place. Today, the small church plant meets under a canopy and has already seen 17 baptisms. New faces continue to join them every Sabbath, and the thirst for God’s Word grows deeper with each passing week.

They need a proper church building—a sanctuary where this growing community can worship and fellowship together regardless of the weather. The villagers also need Bibles and literature to continue learning and sharing with others. Taabet is ripe for a greater harvest, and Ezra and his community are praying that the Lord of the harvest will send more workers into the field.
