It is obvious, that this conference is not a formality, but that people sincerely participate in it.”
Jurij (missionary in Crimea)
“I was very happy to see familiar people. I am thankful to God that He leads missionary views of your church toward Middle Asia. It is a testimony for me that God is with you because He cares about Middle Asia and he involves Ukraine to minister there. I am grateful for your care about my family. We are close now.”
Rustam (Middle Asia)
“The openness of Ukrainian churches makes me happy. They care about other nations, not only about themselves. I enjoyed meeting new people, prayer time and conversations. I was able to learn something new from other people and share something of my own. Sometimes, we want to make others look like us, ignoring their traditions. It is important for us not to do that, but to accept the culture of others to be able affectively work among them.”
