Speak Out 2017 - God is taking us on a new level!

Another big event of our summer is over – our  major project Speak Out 2017. This is the training base for Campus Ukraine movement participants. 10 days of motivation, instructions, training and practice that will help our volunteers stay motivated and trained for the whole ministry year. In addition, Speak Out 2017 helped to mobilize the Christian youth of Vinnitsa and responded to various social needs of the city.
   Project theme: evangelism and discipleship in the modern world.
     The main paradigm of the project: discipleship begins with evangelism.
God surpassed our expectations and answered prayers in abundance.

1. We have reached the official level of organization of events in the city center, in cooperation with the authorities and other public organizations. This increased the level of trust to us among citizens, making conversations about God was much easier, advertising was more extensive and the level of stereotypes about believers was greatly reduced. There were numerous reports about us  on local television, articles on websites and in newspapers. English lessons for students coming from different parts of Ukraine, as well as for students from Vinnitsa, we spent free of charge right in the building of one of the colleges in Vinnitsa.

2. Our methods of evangelism: the Gospel through a photo test called Soularium, through art paintings of the classics, big board-test for determining your worldview, bracelet THEFOUR, massive evening activities on the square of Vinnitsa, English Camp, distribution of social packages for those in need and immigrants. To the majority of those who heard the Gospel, we offered to meet in an informal atmosphere and continue to communicate, thereby trying to establish relationships and have the opportunity for continuous influence and talks about the Gospel, thus building a paradigm that every evangelism should grow into discipleship.

In the end of the English camp, I held meetings with 5 girls, introducing them to the Bible and explaining what it means to have a close relationship with God.

Pray, please, that I could continue to communicate with Ira and Olya in Kiev. Pray for Margo and Ira so that they come to the events organized by the youth in Vinnitsa. Pray that Julia will join the CAMPUS Ukraine movement in Nikolayiv.
