How are you? :-)
What's up with us - we started Inside Sport Community season in two locations: two fields near each other at the parking lot of the church "Revival" (age 3-5 &6-10), another one - in the rented gym of Solomenskiy area of Kiev city (age 8-12). It took a lot of strength, finances and time for the building of the fields at the parking and still quite a lot needs to be done, but all of that is grace to the Lord and your support and prayers! Please pray:
- for wisdom, patience and God's help in how we influence the kids and their parents (sometimes it's really not easy to deal with them during the practices));
- for the unity in our team (we see it important));
- so that the Lord would bring the kids He wants and would open the parents who He wants us to bring Gospel to;
- on the 3rd photo - it's a room which we would like to install around with the organic glass, as well as we want to install banners on the walls around our fields and to install the heating devices - this way the atmosphere of the sport community in winter will be created ;-) There kids can also change into uniforms. But the resources are needed for that. Please pray the Lord would bless us with the finances and with wisdom how to arrange the heating and the banners;
- thankfulness to God, and for wisdom for me in the administrative and financial matters of Sport Kids and of our team (it's also my responsibilities).
Thank you!
On thursdays we usually have our team Bible studies (discipleship style) and team prayer meetings which is also part of the sport community besides the practice time. We also invite our volunteers to them. And we plan the events with the youth of the church "Revival" I'm in a process of searching a disciple - i also meet some girls who study at the University of Physical Education, and i pray to start the movement with non-believing girls athletes (especially basketball girls) - may be in the future, Lord's willing, to start a basketball sport community.
Please pray we would be able to "activate" the youth of the church (churches) so that the Lord would give us those volunteers and "laborers" which He wants. So that they would be challenged by the vision to serve the neighbourhood and would come with us to the soccer ministry training in Rivne (at the west of Ukraine) on Nov 9-11. So that afterwards they would serve the kids. Thank you!
Our first friendly tournament for our Sport Community (i mentioned earlier). We were invited by Ukrainian Christian Sports Academy. The kids and the parents were excited. We also plan to do tournaments with the teams from the alternative schools which we know already since our Kids Cup tournament. But for this we need to install banners etc. Please pray for this and for wisdom for us to arrange it - as tournaments serve to stimulate the sports skills (soccer skills here:) to develop - thus this is one of the goals of the sport community. Thank you!please pray for my sister (Ira), my brother (Valera) and for my nephew (Vova) - for their true repentance;
Thank you for your prayers and support! i'm looking foward to your news again or from those who didn't yet shared and i pray as well for you ;-)
With love in Christ,
Anya
