On September 11, employees of the department held an exhibition of paintings “Life of Jesus Christ in works of art” for a special category of people. These are blind or partially sighted people who rested in a Christian camp organized by the House of the Gospel church in Rivne together with the All-Ukrainian mission Serving the Blind. The participants of the camp listened attentively to the story of sister Ruslana, who encouraged them to imagine everything she described as much as possible. Therefore, all those present received players with a recording of the text of the New Testament, given by our Belgian friends. Thank God for the fact that, despite limited opportunities, blind people can hear and accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
On October 14–16, through the exhibition of paintings, the Gospel was preached to pupils, students and teachers of Zhytomyr region: the villages of Rhea, Semenivka, Rayka, the town of Berdychiv, and the city of Berdychiv. The trip took place at the invitation of Lyubov Kuksa, the coordinator of the LPO Youth at the Crossroads in the Berdychiv district, and in cooperation with the local Church of the Birth of Christ. This church is an example of cooperation with educational institutions. During air raids, her house of prayer serves as a shelter for students of school # 3 in Berdychiv. Students also came to the church premises for the exhibition. In total, about 900 students and 70 teachers heard the Word of God during these three days. All event participants received Bibles, Noah’s Ark magazine, and Christian literature. They agreed in the spring, if the Lord allows, to visit Berdychiv again, since due to lack of time they could not cover all the schools that invited the exhibition.
