Serving in the orphanages
Practice of visiting orphanages of the Rivne region since 2000 and holding of classes of Christian ethics there has brought positive results. There are teachers who want to study the Bible, there are children who are seriously thinking about faith in God. Please pray about the future graduates of the orphanages.
Meeting with teachers of Christian ethics
On the 15th of February in the office of the “Hope to people,” there was held a meeting of members of the Department of Education with the teachers of Christian ethics of Rivne region – students of the Regional Institute of Postgraduate Education. Our employees have prepared the lesson on the subject of prayer, shared methodological tutorials. We thank God for the fact that there are teachers who have been teaching Christian ethic at schools for more than 15 years. Pray that the number of hours devoted to this subject would be increased, and so the children can listen to it from the first to eleventh grade.
Evangelism to the pagan people in Armenia
There was held a Christian evangelistic conference for Kurds practicing Yezidism in the end of February. These people live in the mountains of Armenia. Our ministers visit them, cut off from civilization villages with the gospel. Pray for the development of ministry children and for the families who became Christians.
Evangelism to the people of the north
On the 14th of February a missionary family from the Crimea moved to one of the Yakut city to share the gospel. Thank you to all who participated in their settlement by prayers and financially. Family of Andrey and Galina Magilyuk has joined the ministry immediately, visited the villages, schools, houses for the elderly, a shelter for children. Also they are leading the youth and children groups. Pray that God will continue to open the doors for the gospel.
Summit dedicated to the evangelism for the Russian-speaking people in Europe
In the end of February in Warsaw there was held a summit of the ministry of Evangelical Churches in Europe, which was attended by representatives of the mission “Hope to People”. At the summit, there were visitors from more than 15 countries of Europe, Central Asia and Russia. To worship the Lord Christ the summit participants shared how the gospel spreads among the Russian-speaking, that count more than 12 million people in Europe. At the same time, the amount of churches is immeasurably small. We need to pray a lot and work hard to reach the hearts of seeking happiness in Europe, although it can be found only in Christ.
Remember the wanderer and stranger
The world is boiling and many people are taken from the usual places and forced to seek their fortune in foreign countries. Many Muslims God has brought to Ukrainian cities. Here, each of us has direct access to the representatives of the peoples to whom we would never have gone, and even if we had done so, we would not dare to go and open the mouth. On the other hand, at home we can not only provide the refugees with our merciful protection, but also share the gospel. Please pray that Ukrainians would have a large and open heart to share the gospel with these people. Also pray for the believers from the Arab world, which carry the good news to the people who came to Ukraine.
