Twenty years isn't that much in terms of a person's life, but twenty years with many people continuing in the same ministry, that is an accomplishment!
And the twenty year anniversary of Women's Ministry is what our region celebrated on November 1 at Born Again Church in Poltava.

 

Around 150 representatives of various churches of the Poltava region came as delegates to this wonderful event, and there were also attendees from other regions: Sumy, Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk (they were the jewels of the conference).

The choir sang magnificently at the opening of the conference, giving glory to God, after which the senior regional pastor of the Poltava region, O. I. Ovsiy, called the participants to prayer. Next, Sergey Zakharchuk preached on the topic of "Calling", which touched everyone in the auditorium. The Lord spoke to every woman there about re-examining her abilities, gifts and talents in order to use them more effectively for God's harvest.

Two years ago the women's committee membership changed, but of course the original members also got the chance to speak.
We heard reports in four areas: Prayer, Evangelism, Charity and Education. There were also video clips, greetings, vocal performances by children and adults, poetry and gifts - all to the glory of our Heavenly Father.

Lunch, photos and conversation brought the conference to its conclusion. Now all that is left is to return home with renewed hearts and apply what we learned!
