Christmas party for Students

On December 27 we had great opportunity to openly witness about Christ to many our students who came to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.A week before that we send them all Christmas cards by mail. We also handed out the invitations to the Christmas party on 27 of December.The whole program of the party was focused on Jesus and His gift to all of us.There were songs, power point presentation, skit, message about the true meaning of Christmas.A one point before eating the cake all of us with students stood up to sing to Jesus “Happy birthday to you”!They said that they had never ever done that before.We gave them a piece of paper and asked to write their most secret desires and what they would like for Jesus to give them next year. After that we got up to pray to Jesus asking Him to hear all their desires.Some of the students said that they had received the Christmas cards we send them by mail prior to the Christmas party. It was great surprise for them to find an envelope in the mail box with the words of blessing. They had never received anything like that before. They were so grateful for the care they received from us.After the Christmas party some asked direct questions about God and were deeply touched by all they experienced in the party.Please pray that the seeds that were planted and watered in their life would experience rapid growth caused by God.

But the Word of God grew and multiplied Acts12:24

Last Wednesday at our English club we had privilege to hand out the New Testaments to our school age students. Each time we have a class with them we try to focus on the Word of God.We all pray that God would continue to open their hearts to receive the truth of His Word, as they meditate and study it diligently.They have never heard the word of God preached or tought to them before.We have been able to cover some of the very important topics like:What is true love?What is sawing and reaping?Is there absolute freedom?Why is it important to have purpose in life?We look forward to having discussion on what is real beauty?We hope to cover a lot of Biblical topics with them by the end of the year.

English club Ministry

English clubs ministry

It has been over three months since we started our English clubs minitsry.
As we have been praying for a long while about what can we do to be more effective in our ministry here in Bila Tserkva. God burdened our hearts with the young people. So 3 months ago we launched our first English club with school age students. It turned out to be very powerful instrument in reaching the students of Bila Tserkva.
We have discovered that they look forward to coming to the club and learn both English and Christian principals.
We meet every Wednesday ones a week at 5:30 pm. for about 2 hours. The first hour we spend teaching them English and the second hour we teach them Christian principals. We have different people from the USA helping us teach English and teaching Biblical Christian living.
We use different topics like: What is real love? What is real beauty? Who am I, where I come from, where am I going? We teach them Bible, share our testimonies ect.
After a month of school age students English club, God opened a door for us to start another one in the local huge University of Agriculture. So we have second club going every Monday at 4 o'clock pm.
We teach these students the same godly principals as in our first club.
We have a team of 3 couples, ourselves included who have burden for all these students. (45-50 people total) We get together to pray for them and seek what else and how else we can minister and be effective. God brought some of them to me in a special way. They came up to ask if I could give them personal classes. So I have 5 students who come to my house twice a week for a class. This is the best way to build relationship with them. I take time every class to talk about God and get to know them. Interesting thing is that all the students who come for personal classes are the very ones who are closer to God then others. When we open discussion with them about God and others principals, they are so receptive and attentive that I wish that church people were this attentive at preaching time.
I want you to know and join us in prayer for what God began to show us recently.
We want to see a youth church which will be solid, active, bible believing church out of these 45-50 students. We gather them for tea time and for other activities. We work with the two girls who got saved. Please pray for Tanya. Her grandmother got in a hospital with a disease. Her family is very nice and we hold them dear.
We all feel that it is not going to be fast. We wont see quick results. It is very hard and lasting work.
All we can do is to give them security in what we teach them. They don’t hear it at schools or homes.
So all we can do is top plan the seeds and expect God to give growth.
