Hi! I'm here with you again ;-)

I'll start from the brightest event! In September we went with some of our ministry volunteers to so called Ultimate Training Camp in Poland to which we were invited by Athletes in Action Poland. It was awesome! There were participants from Moldova, Poland, Singapore and from Ukraine. At the end it was 20 hours SPECIAL competitions marathon of physical, emotional and spiritual work which was ended by the reflections on "the way of Christ's ascension to Calvary" and also by the invitation to believe into the Great News. God in an awesome and in an athletic way worked with our hearts - for example - how to build your individuality on what the Lord sees in you as His son or His daughter, and not on what the world sees in you as His athlete ;-) Thank you Lord for such an opportunity! We learned in this camp in order to pass to others with His help ;-) ( I didn't participate in this camp physically but i didn't want to miss such an opportunity...I helped as an interpreter)
Also I was happy that Katya, my friend and older disciple, basketball coach, came with us to this camp. She influences by God's principles her girls players - present and future basketball players of Ukraine ;-)
Next important event - the beginning of Sport Kids season. We are thankful to the Lord that we have a possibility to coach kids at the same place where we had our camp - it's a wide field and a great nature. We have kids who come to us from our last years camps, from this year camp, through their friends, through the ads on the banners in the neighbourhood. Thank you for your prayers! We are glad that we can so miraculously influence the hearts and the characters of the children according to God's principles!
One more important event I'd like to mention - Bible study with our volunteers on the basis of Discipleship Multiplication program. This program is simple and easy to pass/to teach - we study a passage, we read it in different translations, we write it down in our own words, we see how is God and how is a human being described in the passage and the most important - we write down and tell the specific measurable and practical application of it for the week. I'm glad to see that there are not only guys in this group but also the girls ;--)
Please keep praying:
1)for the community with the parents, so that the Lord would open the hearts for the Gospel;
2)for the Bday parties/community hanging out time which we plan as an outreach for the kids and parents;
3) for committed volunteers as coaches and the girls (especially athletes) - disciples who could devote themselves to help to organize parties and other events in our ministry;
4) for wisdom in administrative and financial things of the ministry;
5) for my leg recovery - i have what's called Valgus - when the bones grow improperly, the bone's deformation is created, i ordered special expensive individual insoles, i visited another orthopedist/traumatologist, the treatments have to continue. May the Lord make my bones straght as needed and may the insoles be made with good quality and i'll be cured and won't be limping.
Thank you!
Hugs and looking foward to hear what I can pray about you this time :)
With love in Christ,
Anya
