The staff of the “Hope to People” education department took part in the regional scientific and methodological conference, which was held in honor of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation in Ukraine under the title “Reformation: From the Origins up to the Present Days.” Alexander Bondarchuk and Ruslana Kovalchuk have conducted one of the sections, which deals with the middle level of general education, as well as an exposition of paintings by the worldwide known artists on the subject “The Savior of the World,” that showcases the most vivid moments of the earthly life of Jesus Christ.
God’s Words in a Children’s Staging
At the seminar for speech therapists of children’s communities, some pupils of the Klevan boarding school under the guidance of the employee of the IPO “Hope to People” Ruslana Kovalchuk presented the play of Angela Chudovets “The Queen of Flowers.” The staging received positive feedbacks from the audience. The teachers were greatly impressed by the words of God, resounding as a voice behind the stage, in which the care of the Creator and His love for creation are stressed. The creative band has already been invited to other children’s communities of the region. Likewise, the children presented a play in the kindergarten in the village Zorya.
Birthday of the church in Warsaw
The very first anniversary was marked by the church “God’s grace” in Warsaw. Brothers and sisters shared testimonies of what the Lord has done in their lives during this time. Pastor Alexander Ilyin cannot cease to be surprised as God brings new and new people to their congregation. The church does not do any special advertising, nor is it located in a special place. It’s definitely His grace! Please pray for the awakening among Russian-speaking migrant workers in Poland, about the ministry of this young congregation, about the strengthening of our brothers and sisters in the faith.
Conference in the Gorge of Flowers
This is how the name of Tsakhkadzor is translated, in which an evangelistic conference for representatives of the Kurdish people in Armenia was held. At the end of February, when people are free from the cattle farming work, the former pagans had the opportunity to listen to the sermons on the theme “Old and New.” Many people live in a difficult conditions and were amazed by the presence of cold and hot water in the rooms of an inexpensive resort hotel. Please give thank to God that He has trained Kurdish ministers, willing to preach the gospel to children and youth.
