The end of 2017 - the beginning of 2018 - sums up/blessings/life goes on ;-)

Christmas and New Year holidays have passed - thanks to the Lord for the time of rest! Thank you for taking part in my ministry to the Lord! I wouldn't be able to make it without you!
In this bookmark card we summed up the results of the work done in 2017.

 We celebrated this and other things together with our whole team with volunteers - some even came from Mariupol and Smela (other cities of Ukraine) to our Christmas party. Thanks to the Lord and to you for your prayers - it's a great blessing to be in such a team and it's a blessing to see what He does in our ministry and at the places of dear for our hearts volunteers. 

FIFA Community - we had 3 more communities and each time more and more guys came! Praise the Lord! At each community we had a spiritual devotion part when we talked about loving your neighbour, shared Four Spiritual Laws, discussed what Christmas is and what salvation is. On the video below is the part of the devotion when we got divided into groups and discussed what it means "the Saviour was born" 

Please pray for the further work of God in the hearts of the teenagers and for our team so that God would bless to continue FIFA communities in the lobby of the Revival church!

Soccer field at the parking of the church "Revival" -

we received the protection mats and the arm chair bags - the part of the equipment for the soccer field. Praise the Lord! Thank you for the prayers! On pictures you can see - our last FIFA community and the team Christmas party - bright protection mats and arm chair bags are in use and they help the atmosphere to get even more joyful ;-)  Please pray for the further installation of the lights, of the heaters and of launching the advertisement/lending so that we'd invite children and their parents and so that we'd start Soccer sport community in the church!

 Practices and games with non-believers in the team "Tigress"

 The Lord blesses to continue communicating with the girls from the team, below is the photo from our Christmas and New Year party. There i had some possibilities to meet and to talk with some women who are ex and still professional players and who are at the same time moms of 2-3 children and who are at the same time coaches of children and of students.

 We congratulate Vika (in a red jacket) on her birthday

Ira, one of the "Tigress" players, and me at the game of our Ukrainian men's teams.

Please keep praying for these "bridges" with them and so that God would show who He wants me to witness His word and love and who "to make Christ's disciple" Also for my physical preparation and for the basketball "smartness" in the games - we are going to Odessa at the end of january to the competitions for the Cup of Ukraine. I'm kind of scared as I didn't have professional practices mostly in my life and as I had a long time break. Please pray that God would bless this time in the trip, so that we'd be a friendly team and so that the Lord would make me respected in the eyes of the girls and of the coach - as He wants it to be.
 

Practices and the games of the middle school girls from KCA (Kiev Christian Academy) (the team's name is "Eagles" )

Thank you for your prayers - our girls who had only 3-4 practices and who are the team of only 6 people, 3-4 of which started practicing basketball just couple of weeks before - won their first game!

  Please keep praying for us as a team of coaches and for the further games - next game is already on January 16th.

Thank you for the prayers about my disciple - coach Katya Poberezhnaya. She found the church in the area where she lives and i'm happy to observe how she wants to serve there and to invest into her girls players not only physically but first of all - spiritually. Please pray for our further studies of Gospel sharing and discipleship.

Thank you for the prayers about my family - I had a possibility to see them at our native city at the south of Ukraine and to spend time with them.

Please keep praying about the deliberance and for the true repentance of my sister, Irina, for the true repentance of my brother Valera and of my nephew, Vova. I dream we would be one big Sport Family:)

Please let me know what prayer requests you have and just how is life treating you? I'd be happy to hear from you!

Thank you for your prayers!
With love in Christ,
Anya
