EASTER CELEBRATIONS

On Saturday, April 11 we held our 2nd annual Easter Egg Hunt in our church. The local government office gave us permission to hide the eggs near the outside of our building in an open field. We had a good turnout and praise the Lord for the opportunity we had to share Christ using the Resurrection eggs and sharing the Easter story through Power Point.

We also showed a film about Christ’s death and resurrection. The children had a wonderful time hunting eggs. We believe God will use this event in the lives of the children and their families in the days to come. Thank you for your prayers for this event. Pray that the seeds that were planted will bear fruit.
 
  
Easter Sunday in Ukraine this year was on April 19. We had a great celebration in our church. Many children participated in the program and sang a song at the end together with our praise team.

Christ is risen!! He is risen indeed!!

STREET EVANGELISM

After numerous attempts to hold an evangelistic meeting in our neighborhood, Field of Miracles, we finally were given permission by government authorities to have one. On June 6, from 4pm until 6pm, we sang songs and shared the Gospel on the street. The mayor sent a policeman for protection in case there were any problems.

We were able to invite children and ladies to our VBS and ladies’ meeting planned for the following week. We sang praises to God and shared the Gospel and congratulated our neighborhood with the holiday of the Holy Trinity.

June 7 was Trinity Sunday when we celebrate the day God sent the Holy Spirit to the church. It is a great holiday in Ukraine and workers even get the day off on Monday to celebrate.
