English Thru Bible Video

Here is a video that Jake and Kaelynne made during their trip to Kyiv, while serving at the UEC. Some of our patrons and the director are featured. Good for everyone to watch.

UEC’s 8th Anniversary

The highlight of the whole month was the celebration of our 8th anniversary. We were blessed to have many American and Ukrainian guests here. Many students heard the gospel and personal testimonies of several of our guests and hear Christian songs wonderfully performed by Christian Friendship School Choir. We will write more in our quarterly newsletter. Here is a brief photo report.

Outreach

Last week was rich in events. We went to the International Christian University and invited students to come to the UEC and our different activities. Many students responded and six already signed up to use the library. Here are some of the authors whose books they checked out – C.S. Lewis, Lee Strobel, Philip Yancey, Peter Kreeft and Francis Schaeffer. Each one of them received a new hardcover TNIV Bible to use for their classes. Another five students came to the movie night hosted by the UEC on Fridays.

English Bible class is going well too. We have a steady number of students – eight so far. Last week we talked about the Creation and the Fall. The students had many questions of course – the first chapters of Genesis are among the most debated passages in the Bible. Through this ministry we gave out about 10 new Bibles so far. I already gave them their first written assignment, encouraging them to apply the Bible in their every day life.

Last night we held the first in a string of seminars on relationships and other issues that interest students and young people. Seven people attended and we had a great discussion about being single and happy. Everyone left encouraged to trust God more in their personal life.

In the meanwhile, we are preparing for our visitors from Tennessee in less than a week. Here are some pictures we took last week.

A Lot of Bibles

Today Sasha and I went to pick up Bibles and Bible study materials donated by Eastern European Mission. 488 kilos (1075 lbs) of them. Not sure my car can carry loads like that but we made it fine. Thanks to some of our patrons we were able to transfer them to the UEC in less than 5 minutes. We are more prepared for outreach and David’s visit in October.

The car bottom is almost touching the ground. 

Sergey is carrying about 40 lbs of Bibles.

That’s what 636 books look like.
