BEGINNING of a NEW SCHOOL YEAR 2013

      Hello friend. It’s a beginning of a new school year for students at KPI and our work for them. We met with some freshmen’s this year and gave them gifts to be in touch with us throughout the year.  
These are colorful diaries to help them plan their time to develop in different areas of student life at university and beyond. We pray and expect God "who does not want anyone to perish, but everyone to come to the knowledge of the truth" miraculously to act in our hearts and through out our lives this year!







           From the beginning, we felt God's support and guidance to work in us.
We strive to equip the students to be diligent, grateful children for parents, conscious and patriotic citizens.  We would like also from them to be people with fair and consistent lifestyle, spiritually oriented people with a decent standard of values, people with a healthy cultural life, able to create, to serve, be compassion, well giving, be opposed to the consumer mentality, an apathy and indifference.
         Therefore, together with our missionary team, active student-Christians and with you dear partners, we continue to fulfill the Great Commission of Jesus Christ.
 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday,  today, and forever” Hebrew 13: 8
   
         Meet Dima (on photo in black jacket). This year, he successfully graduated from high school in the city of Smila, Cherkassy region and entered Kiev Polytechnic Institute. He’s a smart active guy who loves mathematics and recently wanted to follow Christ.  He is also the answer to our prayers about new boys in our ministry.
         Dima quickly joined in various areas of our ministry and impressed us with his courage, dedication and openness to new freshmen friend in his group.
          More than 1,000 students received diaries as a gift and an opportunity to respond to our friendship.  Pray please for Dima, his new friends and for new lives will be changed by Jesus Christ from heart to heart!



        An answer to prayer was the support of the head of the student council of KPI, who gives permission to us in organizing thematic meetings and English clubs for students in one of the best high school assembly halls.
"12 days without mom" was the first meeting this year.


The program was prepared and conducted by our students. Some of them took the step of faith in their new responsibilities.  For example, Tonya and Vlad met with us last fall.  They both willingly entrusted their lives to Christ and now they are leading meetings.  Today they are - faithful and bold witnesses of God’s grace.





        I was encouraged that Sergiy, who is from Odessa also joined KPI and he became the leader of his group here at the University.  I met him through a summer camp in Kherson and hope this year Sergiy will choose to live his life for Jesus as a positive influence for other students to join us!



Angela met us last year and she began her 4-year study at KPI.  Then she heard the Gospel from me but didn’t show any interest. After my attempts to build a relationship with her, she still did not answer and I left her.  But recently, I wrote back to her and was surprised.  Angela said that all this time she was thinking about me but did not dare to write.  She came to our Christian meeting for the first time but I still pray she will continue to keep coming.
            
      RIGHT NOW YOU CAN TOUCH THE LIVES OF ANY PERSON 
AROUND THE WORLD WITH YOUR PRAYER.
