Dear brothers and sisters, dear praying friends and workers in God\u2019s field!<\/b><\/p>\n

We invite you to join our joy and share with you about what God has done in February and March 2013! Let\u2019s pray together, so His name will be glorified.<\/b><\/p>\n

Be blessed our God because everything is from You, by You, and for You!<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>Great God<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

By God\u2019s mercy, the first Christian winter youth camp took place in Zalissja, Rivne region. Thirty young people from Rivne and Zdolbuniv, believers and unbelievers, were studying the character of our great God for three days. They studied about His rule, His holiness, and His mercy. The well-prepared building kept us from getting cold, and the Zdolbuniv kitchen kept us full and satisfied.<\/p>\n

The summer is ahead of us, so we want to ask you to pray about upcoming youth camps in Zalissja. Especially, pray about truth to transform young people\u2019s lives.<\/i><\/p>\n

The fifth academic session of Rivne School of Bible Preaching (SBP) for the second group of students took place in Chernivtsi.t he session lasted 9 days. The pastors Taras Prystupa (Rivne, Ukraine) and Veniamin Portanskij (Vancouver, USA) taught on the topic \u201cBiblical counseling.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>The course \u201cThe Basis of Biblical Counseling\u201d gave the fundamentals, showed the reason for counseling, and gave practical advice of what to advice people in different life circumstances. There were 29 students and 5 free attendants at the session.<\/p>\n

The last academic session is ahead of us, so we ask you to pray about graduation of the current group and the beginning of studies for the new group of students in September 2013.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>Academic session of RBC \u201cWord of Grace\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

From the 27th\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0<\/span>of February until the 8th<\/sup>\u00a0<\/span>of March, the winter academic session of Rivne Bible College \u201cWord of Grace\u201d took place. This session was dedicated to the study of the course \u201cSystematic theology,\u201d which was taught by Nikolaj Nikitin. This course teaches fundamental doctrines of Christianity.

\u00a0<\/b>The Gospel to the Plastun organization<\/b><\/p>\n

On Saturday, the 9th<\/sup>\u00a0of March, the Lord gave us an opportunity to visit a small seminar of the youth organization \u201cPlast\u201d in Zalissja, Rivne region. This is\u00a0the\u00a0Ukrainian scouts\u2019 organization, which works on the building of the \u00a0patriotic bringing up of Ukrainian youth based on Christian morals. They invited us to share the view of our church and organization regarding alcohol use.<\/p>\n

We accepted this invitation and shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the participants.<\/p>\n

Pray so that the Gospel of Jesus Christ will become the basis of their moral for these people.<\/i><\/p>\n

I want to learn about the world.<\/b><\/p>\n

Under such a logo, the first issue of 2013 of Christian magazine \u201cWord to the Teacher\u201d has been printed. Regardless of some complications with printing, God is merciful to us in this ministry. We hope that the materials presented in the magazine will bring spiritual help to many readers, and become a good tool for Christian influence on a new generation.<\/p>\n

Please pray about it with us and about the preparation of the second issue.<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Armenia for Christ<\/b><\/p>\n

Our coworkers in Armenia are not sitting still. God keeps open \u201cthe door of salvation\u201d until God\u2019s entire\u00a0 family will get on the \u201cark of salvation.\u201d The new young church in Yerevan continues to grow. In the end of February, the church had a three day winter camp, at which church members divided into small groups, and the worship time is on Sundays now. Besides that, the college \u201cArarat\u201d had an academic session in February and sessions on the course \u201cProgram to help the preacher.\u201d<\/p>\n

Armenian Christians are very thankful for support and ask to continue praying for them.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b>We play for God<\/b><\/p>\n

During the last week of March, a Christian soccer competition took place on the territory of mission \u201cHope to People.\u201d Preached Gospel, prayer, and a friendly and honest atmosphere made it different from other soccer events which take place in our world. Boys were not only trying to get earthly trophies, but heard about the One who gained us heavenly treasure.<\/p>\n
