Ministry of the Christian spiritual and educational magazine continued in 2017 by God’s mercy. It was the 10th anniversary year of our work in the educational field in Ukraine.
We have been publishing the magazine since 2007 with the purpose of carrying God’s Word to teachers, parents, students. Forty one issues (4 times a year) have been published so far.
The Lord sent us trials in the past and the magazine was on the verge of discontinuation. But the Lord also comforted and gave us a way out. He sent us people who supported it in the most difficult moment and said it was necessary to continue this ministry. We keep working according to our creed – we carry God’s Word to every teacher for him to become a disciple of Christ!
The magazine is published in 2,000 copies in Ukrainian and is distributed among teachers and Christians of Ukraine. The editorial board consists of 32 people from Rovno, Kiev, L’vov, Odessa, Zhitomir, Ostroh, and other cities. The magazine has loyal subscribers.
The magazine is in demand among teachers of the public education system (schools, preschools, colleges, institutions of higher education), as well as missions and churches, public organizations and foundations, Sunday schools and all those serving kids and teenagers.
Our partners are charitable foundation Eastern European Humanitarian Mission (Kiev), public organization Cultural and Educational Center for Promotion of Christian Culture and Education, and Christian Ethics Research Department at the National University Ostroh Academy.
In order to reach as many readers as possible and considering possibilities of the modern information space, we created the magazine website slovovchitelyu.org in 2010. Every year the number of users grows both in Ukraine and abroad. In 10 months of 2017, the site has been visited by 21,113 people from Ukraine, USA, Russia, France, Netherlands, Germany, China, Poland, Great Britain, and 70 more countries. The site is visited by 10,823 people a month on average.
We are thankful to the Lord for the open door to preach the Gospel. We thank all the readers, authors, partners. If the Lord allows, we will continue working for His glory.
