Fred and Margie Canaday are the parent’s of six children.  They began to work in Romania and Moldova in 1990 and became BIEM's Field Director for Romania and Moldova in 1997.  BIEM presently supports 10 National missionaries in Romania and Moldova.  As BIEM Field Director for Romania and Moldova, Fred oversees these National missionaries’ activities by monthly reports and personal visits. The Canadays are involved in planting churches, operating two Bible Institutes, and in the process of completing two building programs. Other activities include evangelism and literature distribution. The Canadays’ purpose is to train and equip National Pastors to more effectively reach their own people. They are constantly involved in efforts to raise support for these men. In the past 5 1/2 years since the ministry began, BIEM has seen dozens of churches planted, and hundreds of people that have come to Christ. Although persecuted and weak, these new churches are enthusiastically reaching out to neighbors and friends, building local indigenous Baptist Churches in Romania and Moldova. BIEMs goals are to strengthen the works that have already begun, finish the two current major building programs, and continue strategically reach the neighboring villages from strong centrally located Churches founded in the cities and towns of Romania and Moldova.
