December 26, a regular service in Kryukov (s.Bozhkovo) penal colony â„– 29. The ministry held a team composed of Khudyakova Andrei Kovalenko and Roman.

"I was in prison, and ye came unto Me ..." Mt. 25:36

On December 11 Salvation Church hosted a regional conference on prison ministry at the Christian Ministry Center. In addition to the attendees from the Poltava region, the Bishop of prison ministry for all of Ukraine was present, Viktor Ivanovich Mural-Sikorsky, as well as the Larionov family, missionaries from Latvia.

For most Poltava residents winter is associated with snow, sledding, holidays and ... sorry, I forgot to mention colds and other maladies. Yes, against the backdrop of pre-New Year tinsel, no less important is people's concern for their health. Caring mothers remember grandmother's old remedies, schools everywhere announce guidelines for sick students and garlic becomes the main ingredient in almost every dish.

The last two weeks were a great blessing for our church. We were visited by very interesting and dedicated servants of God. It was hard not to confuse each of them with God's angels, because God blessed Salvation Church through them with his message.

 We unwittingly surprised multifaceted wisdom of God displayed in the earthly creatures created by it. It is in man, which was designed according to the image and likeness of God Himself, hidden incredible love, power and beauty of the Creator. Sometimes so much zahoplyuyeshsya depth of the human person, are countless variety in her amazing talents and abilities that it is difficult to imagine how great it can be very Architect: "Amazingly my knowledge on it is high, I can not attain unto it."
 Meetings Youth SMS club in November was an excellent opportunity for every talented person to show their talents and creative nature of our scene. Such "willing" to recruit as many as five. Participants are not dropped face in the dirt, and were worthy of earning their shiny numbers deserved audience ovation.

 Perhaps, the greatest number of sermons and articles in Christian journalism on the theme of the Great Commission of Christ. Almost every Christian is able to cite verses from memory of the 28 chapters of the Gospel of Matthew: "Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you all the days until the end of the century. Amen ».
Not again this theme? And where? At the regional youth conference?
Why do young people once again reminded that "crocked" in a Protestant environment calls for "the promotion and imposition of" the world's own moral values? We already do it at will and, if possible. Times of the Soviet dictatorship had passed, so do not tell how and what we should do, what to say to whom and where to go.

Our youth has been sitting too long within eight walls of our house of prayer. That`s why in a heart of them began to boil up slight resentment. “Vova when shall we go somewhere???” sadly asked young people.
Their persuasions and entreaties didn`t come by our team, that`s why on a monthly meeting of people who are responsible for this blessed ministry (youth ministry) it was decided: “We are going to Oposhnya!!!” We chose this settlement thanks to Andrey Hudyakov- brother who has missionary vision for our unbounded region.

«Under the banner of this blatant outrage exclamation held October meeting of the Christian youth discussion, scientific, educational and entertainment SMS Drama Club. There is a disgusting ability to lie and stretch the truth in nature of every man, that day we had a great opportunity to make sure in it through our eyes, hands and even digestive system. Concerning the above-mentioned system, each of the comers had to face to the modern technology of the sausage making and examine it in practice. :))) There is no need to tell you about the occurring everywhere lie . There was not enough time to tell about all the spheres and types of charlatanry we have to face in our life.

 On the 19th of October cheerful and long-expected fest for all cake lovers “The Day of Birthdays” went off in our church. During this holiday the teachers of Sunday school have congratulated all the kids, who had their Birthdays in summer or in autumn.
Boys and girls were the guests in a beautiful autumnal garden, where hospitable host and hostess gave them cordial and hearty welcome. As the present all comers could make a birthday card by themselves. In their turn the heroes of the occasion have prepared musical surprise – the song about God`s Glory for their friends and parents.

If you think that operation of the Holy Spirit has weakened, if you have accepted small amount of repentances at the divine service. Cheer up!!! The Lord is still adding those who are being saved.  

The baptizm that took place last Sunday gave evidences of it. Four sisters and one brother in front of the church and all the spiritual and physical world promised to serve the Lord in good and clear conscience. Each of them has partaken, or even satiated with disgusting worldly and godless life in sin.
