This is the update with what we had recently in the ministry, with the short summary in numbers of the results of our ministry and with some prayer and financial needs of mine and of our ministry. Some of them you should receive in your post mail box. If you received my letter with Christmas card, please let me know. Hope the post services worked well and the letter did reach your destination :-)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Please feel free to write me back how the Lord is leading you about these Christmas needs.
December 14 was a big holiday for Sport Kids due to the upcoming end of the 1st half of the school year - Sport Kids tournament and Christmas T-party! We shared with the kids /parents the meaning of Christmas. We had Rewards ceremonies of the tournament winners and of those who completed the Bible lessons of the Emaus program, there were many different games, dances, competitions, a festive rich table from what the parents brought, and a lot of joy and fun. Thank you for your prayers and support! Without you this movement of a component of a unique 3 T system - trainings, tournaments, T-parties - would not work 
Please pray for the hearts of the children and of the parents who are open to talking with us, and for the upcoming Sport Kids T-parties. Thank you!

Kids World Cup
Earlier I wrote in my prayer needs that there’s going to be Mini soccer World Championship in Kiev in 2021. So we plan to embrace 2100 children with Gospel for this project through 7 new churches and also to get engaged 140 new coaches and volunteers. We’ll write more about this project next year but we are looking for about $10000. To be part of this project financially you can make the donation here: give.cru.org/0785160
Ruslan and His Mother
Ruslan is our new volunteer coach. He and his brother were missionaries in Russia, in the city of Tolyatti. Half a year ago, due to the tensions between Russia and Ukraine, his brother left Russia to serve in Georgia. Ruslan decided to return back to his homeland. In Kiev He was looking for a place where he could participate in the fulfillment of the Great Commission. He got involved as a volunteer with us, but this year he considers to apply to be a full time staff with us. Ruslan is a great blessing for our ministry! Recently because of the military actions between Russia and Ukraine, his mother, 63 years old, had a nervous breakdown and she practically lost her hearing. The doctor prescribed her treatment in a hospital but also to buy her a good hearing aid. With her pension of $ 80/month it is impossible to buy the hearing aid and to get the treatment. We would love to be an encouragement for Ruslan's mom and are looking for about $500 to find for them. If the Lord is leading you to make a specific gift for this lady Tatyana, you can make your investment here: give.cru.org/0785160
