Life around "Sport Kids"

Hi!

How are you? :-)
In this update I'll share about three things, around which my life is in "Sport Kids" (SC abbreviation) recently and more intensively;
1) Evangelism and discipleship in SC;
2) SC Party/Community;
3) Ministry/Devotions with the kids in SC.
On the picture below my spiritual mentor, Yulia, and me. I'm Yulia's "spiritual daughter". And now Yulia has a "spiritual granddaughter" :))))) More about her is below.




Please meet - below on the photos is Masha, her mom Lyusya and me. And before this there's a photo of Masha and her kids from our camp in the summer. For some of her kids I was a mentor in the group. All Masha's life is around her kids and her husband. They all (her husband's mom and her mom as well) live in a 3 rooms apartment. Three of her kids attend our SC practices. Masha accepted Jesus Christ as Her Lord and Her Saviour after I shared Gospel with her at her place. I continued like Bible study lessons for new believers with her at her place and recently we did them during the practice while she was waiting for her kids at the Sports Kids. :-)

 And below on the photos is grandma Lena (with our new volunteer Tonya) - Lena's grandson comes to the SC for the 2nd year already. Lena invited Jesus into her heart right at the practice while I talked to her and while she was waiting for her grandson. I gave Lena Gospel of John and she is open to read it but unfortunaly, she is not open to come to the Protestant church.

As we started our winter season practices at the parking lot soccer fields in the church, the real cafe has opened and this is a great opportunity to talk to the parents and to share Gospel with them.

On November 3 the first Sport Kids Party for children and parents was held at which there were gifts for those who had birthdays in summer and autumn, there were dances, competitions, games, a skit with the spiritual meaning, and we introduced to our kids the Bible study course "Emmaus" which has tasks in an interesting playable format. It was a very fun and blessed time from the Lord - after all this is one of the goals of the vision of the Sport Community - one of our unique 3 T system - T-Parties. Many children have already completed the Bible study tasks. The next T-Party is planned to be Christmas Party on Dec 14th. I'm the main coordinator for this part of SC. This is a great opportunity to do discipleship in the practice of the ministry with the girls volunteers of SC. Please pray for them. Their names are Zina, Anya M, Tonya, Sveta. 

To continue the theme of the Bible study for kids "Emmaus", besides administration and communication with the parents, I sometimes help our coaches to do devotions for the children. It's a great chance to influence the shaping of the character of a child, laying Christian values into its  foundation. And I like it, as the Lord called me to fulfil this responsibility in this very ministry. 

Thank you very much for your prayers and support! You are a part of this ministry!

Please pray:
1) thanks to God that He opens the hearts for His News, and for Holy Spirit to continue working in the heart of Masha and other parents, and would help me in the discipleship;
2) thanks to Him for the Party in SC and a prayer to bless the next Christmas SC Party on Dec 14th, so that He would be glorified through it;
3) thanks for the possibility to be with our main team at the conference in Budapest on how to develop ministry partners relationships; and a prayer to bless the support raise for the mini soccer project for kids 2021 (more about it in further updates); 

4) thanks for the improvements with my leg but a request to keep praying for a full recovery - I didn't attend any other doctor and I can't do running yet; 

5) for my relatives' repentance - sister, brother and nephew. 

Thank you!
I'll be happy to hear your news and prayer requests!
With love in Christ,
Anya
