Greetings to everyone!<\/p>\n

We’re so excited that there are people who read the news and pray for the Hope to People ministry.<\/p>\n

The Sovereign God, in His faithfulness and persistence, presses on with the work of evangelism in Ukrainian cities and villages, giving us the opportunity to participate in evangelism amongst non-Christian peoples in our country as well as in other countries of the world. And this became possible only through the enabling work of His Spirit, as well as thanks to your prayers, friendship, and support. We’re grateful to God for having you!<\/p>\n

Please scroll down and read through about what has happened in the life of our ministers last month.<\/p>\n

The education department IPO Hope to People is aiming to take every opportunity to bring the Gospel to the educators. On September 28, the head of our education department, Arkady Slyoza, took part in the All-Ukrainian Day of Pre-School Education, which was held at the National Pedagogical University named after MP Dragomanov in Kiev. He went there with the purpose of promoting the Christian pedagogical journal \u201cWord to the Teacher,\u201d which also publishes the materials on the upbringing of preschool children based on Christian values.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

At one of the schools in Rovno, a presentation of the Christian spiritual and educational magazine \u201cWord to the Teacher\u201d for local entrepreneurs took place. The event was held with the assistance of the Education Department of the Rivne City Executive Committee with the participation of the Deputy Head of the Education Department, teachers and schoolchildren. The presentation of the magazine was organized by employees of the educational department IPO Hope to People, and by the authors who are writing for the magazine. The attendees had a wonderful opportunity to become acquainted with the history of publishing the magazine, lines of Christian poetry, fragments of the Christian ethics lessons, an exhibition of paintings \u201cThe Life of Jesus Christ in Works of Art,\u201d that is, they were explicitly shown what materials of the magazine can offer to the teacher. The purpose of the meeting is to popularize the magazine \u201cWord to the Teacher\u201d as the only Christian educational publication in Ukraine, designed to help teachers and parents in raising children and becoming real Christians, as well as to ensure the support by businessmen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

Evangelizing the Visitors\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

from the Non-Christian World<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n
\n

There are many people from non-Christian countries, who come to Ukraine to work and study, and to receive a refugee status. Our ministers, who work for this category of people, look for them right on the streets of the cities. Foreign students of Ukrainian universities are open to friendship. India, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Turkey, Azerbaijan, China, Israel \u2013 this is not a complete list of the countries from which they came to get their education. In the south of Ukraine, the ministry of Russian language courses for foreign students is already kicked off.<\/p>\n

A lot of migrants are living in the central part of Ukraine. We already have a training program for all Christians who want to serve such people without leaving their country. Our ministers are helping to get familiar with the language, culture and traditions of the Eastern peoples. For everyone who is willing, there is an opportunity to get acquainted with Christians-representatives of these peoples.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
