Evangelistic Exhibitions in Educational Institutions

Our employees regularly evangelize in educational institutions through such a tool as a traveling exhibition of reproductions of paintings by world-famous artists, “The Life of Jesus Christ in Works of Art.” The whole school willingly gathers for such a cultural and educational event: children, teachers, and maintenance workers. The exhibition guide tells in detail about the meaning of the events depicted in each painting, and at the end, everyone has the opportunity to receive Bibles and Christian literature as a gift. These events help to make new acquaintances and invite students and teachers to Christian camps.

Many world-famous artists found inspiration in the pages of the Bible, and many of them painted paintings on gospel plots, reflecting scenes of the earthly life of the greatest figure in world history – the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Since 2013, the Christian Mission Hope to People has been using the exhibition of reproductions of paintings “The Life of Jesus Christ in Works of Art” for evangelism in educational institutions and public places.

This exhibition has proven itself well, and we always have invitations to present it in schools, colleges, libraries, and auditoriums of various organizations. This way, we can share the Gospel with the younger generation — students of grades 1-11 and students whose worldview is in the process of formation.

Evangelistic ministry with an exhibition of paintings is quite mobile and accessible. All the reproductions can be placed into a car and driven to a certain place, quickly set up for the exhibition to be held each time for a new audience, both indoors and outdoors.

Mission employees have already held hundreds of evangelistic exhibitions of reproductions of paintings in various educational institutions in our region. Our exhibitions are free and available to everyone. Depending on the audience, our guides tell the story in a language that is understandable to both children and adults. The paintings are selected so that children hear not only the historical and artistic moments of their writing, but also a clear, consistent exposition of the Gospel, the story of our Savior’s earthly life, and the purpose of His coming to this world. We have testimonies of repentance or changes in worldview from people whose first familiarity with the Gospel occurred precisely at such an exhibition. At the end of each event, we distribute Bibles, New Testaments, and Christian literature for children and adults.

Throughout 2025, our employees Ruslana Kovalchuk, Arkady Slyoza, and Mykola Nikitin had the opportunity to preach the Gospel through the presentation of paintings about the life of the Savior and the distribution of Christian literature in 20 different educational institutions of Rivne, Zhytomyr, Volyn, Transcarpathia, as well as during church events, Christian camps, youth meetings, and street evangelism.
