This week we conducted a Young Life camp on Buhtarme (water basin) where we had 40 unbelieving teenagers and youth from Oskemen, Zyrjanovska and Sogry along with 30 believing children and leaders. Children only left today (aged from 15 years and up). Please pray for continued development of relationsship with these children, for friendships, and for continued "sowing".
It is a special pleasure to share news about ministry among teenagers of the middle classes (12-15 years). After children's camp, which was successfully conducted in June, we have maintained consistent dialogue with new children (nearby 12 people). Some of these have already believed, and we see real changes. There was an initiative team of youth (the leader Yana F.) which with great joy serve these teenagers through personal relationships. The group has already grown to 25 people. I see that God has created something new!
Last week in my home group there was a new person, Dima, the husband of one of my girls. He has not believed yet, but is open.
A few weeks ago we held a seminar for leaders of children's and teenage ministries. It was a special time of mutual encouragement, a prayful evaluation of ministry, a time updating vision and strategy. I glorify God that in these people really have motivation from the Lord!
Still I ask you to pray - on Thursday I meet several school girlfriends of whom I have not seen for 6-10 years. They found me a couple of days ago! I do not want this to end with only one meeting. I wish to be accessible, and I pray that I will be used by the Lord.
