"Jump in Heaven" Youth Conference


"Jump in Heaven" Youth Conference October 31- November 2

From October 31st through November 2nd of this year, we had our second youth conference at a partner church in Zhashkiv, a city close to Bila Tserkva. We went with our team partners who took responsibility for arranging the event.

Our first conference was in April of 2008. We had about 50 teenagers from 3 churches in 3 different cities. At this second conference we also had about 50 young people from the same 3 churches. The name of the conference was "Jump in Heaven". The theme of the conference was "Self Worth in God".

As we prayed about whom we can invite to speak at the conference God put on our hearts to ask our friends, a couple from Eastern Ukraine, to speak at the conference. They minister as pastors at a local church there.

The conference was amazing, the presence of God was all over it. Many people testified how God set them free from many complexes and inner scars.

We took four of the girls from our English club who were non Christians. One of the girls, named Anya, enjoyed the conference so much that she didn't want to leave. She cried a lot at the conference.

If it's the Lord's will, we will have another conference in Spring.
