Denis
SGA-Supported Missionary Pastor in Ukraine

Greetings, brothers and sisters! Thank you for your prayers and financial support of our family, so that we can serve full-time in God’s field, especially with youth. 

Inna is a member of our team and she has started inviting young girls one by one for coffee, to pay more attention to each of the girls and give them an opportunity to share. At first, Inna was very worried and prayed, but God led her and everything went great! God works even through such small moments! She told me:

During our meetings, the girls showed initiative in communication, raising topics that concerned them. Most often, conversations revolved around interpersonal relationships, and events taking place in the church, as well as various life situations. It was nice to see that they were open to listening and ready to share their thoughts.

Leila is one girl with whom I correspond a lot. Leila was interested in what the purpose of a woman’s life is from the point of view of the Bible. We talked about how God has a special plan for each person and how important it is to find your calling. This aroused her sincere interest, and she wanted to learn more about the biblical view of life’s purpose. This period was very productive and useful.

The girls are searching for themselves, trying to understand in what area they want to develop, and are seeking to understand more deeply the issues of faith and destiny. I enjoyed participating in these conversations and supporting them in their search.

We thank God for the youth. Our meetings, communication, games, and reading the Bible leads to results in their lives, influencing and forming their foundations for adulthood. They have a desire and are not shy to read the Bible in front of everyone and share their thoughts, knowing that we will listen to them and support them.

We use volleyball as one of the tools to disciple young men. There are some guys who play very well and there are those who need to gain experience.

Another great blessing is that the team members are only 20 years young, but they are already participating in ministry and some are preaching. Please keep me in prayer that I can wisely answer the questions of unbelievers and build up believers!
