 | | Lifes changed, more to reach! ❤️ | | Testimonies from Teens Missionary School in Znamenivka! | |
| | First of all, we want to thank you - everyone who sows, prays, and supports this work. We truly believe that we share in the same reward. Each of us simply needs to faithfully do our part.
“The share of the man who stayed with the supplies is to be the same as that of him who went down to the battle. All will share alike.” - 1 Samuel 30:24 (NIV) | |
| | It was precious to witness God bring all the pieces together and paint a beautiful picture of how He touched the teens’ hearts.
Hearing one of the newly converted participants say, “Now I know Jesus is alive!” sums up so well what these three days meant for the teens.

| | God Shows His Love
"I used to feel that God wasn’t answering my prayers, but during these past few days, I’ve seen how He shows His love through people.
One day, I asked God to show me that He loves me and that I’m not alone. Suddenly, I felt warmth on my back, as if someone was hugging me. That same evening, people started coming up to me and giving me hugs. I realized that God had answered my prayer through them.
Another special testimony was about some merchandise I had wanted for a long time but couldn’t afford. After trying to buy it and finding nothing that suited me, I decided it simply wasn’t the right time. But the next day, I won that exact merch in a contest for the best notes!
For me, it’s not just a gift - it’s a reminder of how personally God cares for me, hears my desires, and shows me His love. It means so much to me. Hallelujah!"

| | Freedom to Be Myself
"I’ve always been afraid of speaking on stage and using a microphone, so simply stepping forward and sharing my testimony was a big victory for me. During these days, I realized that I don’t have to be ashamed to talk about God, even when I feel afraid.
I’m grateful to God for the freedom, inner peace, and the reminder that I’m not alone. Thank you to everyone who served us during this school!"

| | Trusting God in Every Situation
"During the missionary school, one story that especially touched me was from the Gospel of Luke. The disciples had fished all night and caught nothing, but when they followed Jesus’ words and cast their nets again, they caught an incredible number of fish. It reminded me that I need to trust God in every situation."

| | Three Days That Changed My Life
"Thank you to the mentors for your example, encouragement, and support. After one of the evening services, I asked Inna to pray for me. I wanted to feel like a little girl again, with a joyful and open heart instead of a hardened one. During the prayer, the burden I had been carrying lifted, and I felt so much lighter.
I’m deeply grateful to God for these three days. They truly changed my life!"

| | YOU are part of these stories and breakthroughs! Thank you for praying, giving, and standing with us.
Next week, we’ll be holding another school in the Rivne region, reaching and serving teenagers in that area. Not all of them can afford to attend. Some come from broken families, and we want every one of them to have the opportunity to experience God’s love and hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We invite you to support these schools financially and sow into the lives of young people — helping teenagers grow in faith, get to know God, and discover their calling in Him.
Every contribution matters. Together, we can make a greater impact! ❤️ We can’t do this without you! | |
| | There is also something important we want to share with you. On the first day of our school, Russia struck Dnipro’s train station, killing 14 people. It was heartbreaking to share this news with our teens, but we felt it was important to pray together. We cannot simply ignore something so devastating. This is the very station where our team and some of the teenagers arrive by train - and where we will depart from as we travel to the Rivne region next week. | |
| | In the midst of these difficult circumstances, we truly need your prayers. Please pray for protection over our team and the teenagers, for safe travels, and for God’s peace to surround everyone involved.
We are so grateful that you stand with us in prayer. It means more than you know! | |
