Conference of the Light of the Gospel Association

🖇From October 23 to 25, a conference was held by the Light of the Gospel Association, which has several dozen churches in Ukraine. It was held in Kyiv and was attended by about a hundred people.

🖇The main goal of this conference is to encourage each other and call for evangelism and the organization of new churches.

🖇Evangelical Christians gathered from different regions of Ukraine and shared their testimonies of God’s blessings and help in the difficulties they faced during the war. Unfortunately, many churches are now near the front line, so they shared how God has protected them and how people are interested in God. In fact, now is the time when Ukrainians have open hearts and are looking for God. 

🖇The conference was also attended by Roman Dyachuk and Stanislav Chernyaev, who shared the ministry of the NGO “Bible Translators of Ukraine” and information about  Missionary Faculty of the Kremenchuk Evangelical Seminary.

🖇In addition, at the conference, a family of future missionaries presented their ministry, which awaits them soon in Central Asia.

🖇The NGO “Bible Translators of Ukraine” thanks everyone for their open hearts and support in the missionary service. We believe that together we can achieve good results.

Central Asia

Central Asia is a large region of Asia that includes Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. This region has historically been associated with nomadic peoples and the Great Silk Road. Central Asia has always been a place where people and goods from different parts of the Eurasian continent converge.

Christianity came here in the third century, but unfortunately, with the advent of Islam, it practically dissolved. That is why we work in this region conducting research on peoples, studying the languages and cultures of small peoples who mostly live in remote places of mountains and deserts.

Our goal is to translate the Word of God for those who do not have it in their native language.
There are hundreds of peoples in this region who need highly qualified specialists, prayer leaders, and funds for various projects, so we invite you to become part of our team.

Georgia

Georgia is a country in Eastern Europe, located on the Black Sea coast and at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Although most Georgians identify themselves as Orthodox Christians, there are still many Muslims.

This country is multinational, and dozens of peoples do not yet have a Bible translated into their language or a national church.

Thus, our translators are working on translating the Word of God for national minorities. We create audio stories based on the Bible and work to improve literacy.

In this country, translation work is underway among several nations. We need your donations and especially your prayers.
