Two weeks ago, we held a Teen Missionary School called “I Am a Missionary” at our missionary base in Znamenivka. Throughout the week, both from the stage and in personal conversations, one simple but powerful truth was continually shared: “You have a mission on this earth. You were created for a purpose. God has a calling for your life.”

In a time when war is trying to take away young people’s future, dreams, and sense of purpose, it is more important than ever to remind them of God’s plans. The enemy seeks to steal their hope and destiny, but we believe - and we see - that God has a good plan for each one of them.

Our desire was to serve and support these teenagers, helping them leave more equipped - with a deeper understanding of the mission God has entrusted to each of us. Throughout the week, we explored important topics through seminars and practical sessions, encouraging them to take a deeper look at their lives, rethink their values, and make meaningful decisions.

Some of the key topics included the character of a child of God, the power of teamwork, and understanding both our mission and our identity in Christ. We also talked about prayer and the calling each of us has - to live and act according to the Great Commission. We addressed the importance of obedience and how to discover our purpose in everyday life.

A few testimonies from the school:

"I was spiritually hungry - I longed for God’s presence to fill me, for my fire to be reignited and my cup to overflow again. Jesus touched me and baptized me with the Holy Spirit."
****
"I was completely exhausted, but on the very first evening, Jesus filled me with His Spirit. I felt peace in my heart and a renewed strength to serve others."
***
"Jesus baptized me with the Holy Spirit, but I was afraid that the words were my own. Through another person, Jesus showed me that it wasn’t me - it was Him."

You are a part of these stories, and we are truly grateful for your support! Together, we are raising a generation ready to live and serve according to God’s calling.

We are excited to announce that from May 1-3, we plan to hold the Teen Missionary School “Healing of the Heart” in Rivne. This is a special experience that can truly change lives. Please pray that this school will go according to God’s plan - for teenagers to join and for the staff team to be fully prepared to serve.

Some of the teenagers who attend these events come from families that cannot cover the full cost of participation. That’s why we raise funds - to ensure that every teen can attend, regardless of their circumstances. Your prayers and financial support help these young people grow in faith, discover their calling, and leave a lasting impact in God’s Kingdom.
