The December's meeting of the ministry leaders and their spouses for Christmas celebration has become a tradition. During such a meetings, every one of them briefly shares about the blessings of the past year, as well as difficulties and prayer requests. These gatherings are useful not just for mutual encouragement, but also because the leaders and their spouses could get to know others in the ministry and could have a sense of unity of purpose and mutual service.
Unfortunately, this year many of the people could not make it to this meeting, some spouses also could not attend: some people were working at this time and some were serving in another city. However, there were also some new faces. Peter Makletsov who is the new youth leader for the Association, and his wife Tatyana attended this gathering for the first time. It has been only a month since he accepted this ministry, but he already demonstrated himself to be active and productive in ministry. Nadezhka Yevseenkova who is a faithful helper to all the office events was also able to attend. Such people as she are usually not seen or heart, but their absence is immediately felt.
While listening to the testimonies of the ministry leaders, it is clear that they are doing great work for the Lord, and that they all have one problem in common: they are lacking dedicated young ministers, young support. That is why the joint prayer at the end of the meeting was about that: to have the strength and health for those who are active in ministry, and petition to have new young ministers who will be strong in the faith.
Dear brothers and sister, please pray for this as well! To learn more about what our ministries are doing, look here on the website, under the Ministry and News – Newsletters section.
