A Good Start

Хороший початок

Sunday evening, March 23, turned out wonderfully for a team of guys from Salvation Church. At 4:30 a team of seven drove to the village of Chutovo for a ping-pong tournament. The goal of the tournament was to get better acquainted with the local youth and building friendships. Friendship is a good basis for sharing the Gospel with the people around us. The venue for the tournament was the Evangelical Christian Church of Chutovo, where Vyacheslav Klimov is the pastor.

 

When the Poltava team arrived there were only two competitors waiting from the local team, but just 15 minutes later every interested athlete in Chutovo was on the team. In all there were about 20 participants in the tournament, counting both sides. The entire tournament was played out in a friendly atmosphere with a spirit of healthy competition.

The first round of the tournament set the tone for the remainder. It was in the first round that players were divided into Group A and Group B. The matches were conducted as a playoff. Throughout the tournament neither of the teams was able to gain a significant advantage; their strength was equal. In the final round the two best masters of paddle and ball from Poltava and Chutovo met. The last match was even and only at the end of the match was the Chutovo player able to get ahead by two points and literally wrench victory out of the hands of the confident Poltavans. The score from the final round was 21 to 19 with Chutovo winning. The prize for the victor was a whole packet of chocolate bars. Both teams congratulated each other on the interesting an exciting game. At the end of the evening the Poltava team made it clear that they were not going to reconcile themselves with the result of this tournament and would do their best return to Chutovo ... and leave as winners.
Of course, as I said earlier, victory was not the main reason that the Poltava team came to Chutovo.

The foundation for friendship was successfully laid. It is the conviction of the Poltava team that sports is an unbelievably effective opportunity to share the Good News of the Loving God with the young generation. Thus, the evening of March 23 was a successful start down the road on which many young guys can come to know their Creator and Personal Savior. This we firmly believe.

P.S. The team from Salvation Church wants to thank the church in Chutovo and pastor Vyacheslav Klimov for offering the opportunity to conduct the tournament and for their hospitality.
