Wake Up! (Youth conference)
Our church hosted another youth conference. The Wake Up! theme was very fitting. Participating in the event were leaders and groups from a number of regional towns and villages. The teaching was good and practical. And you can feel that the different groups are enjoying being together.

Strategically, I see a wonderful foundation being laid for unity and multiplied fruit and influence in our communities in the coming years.
I am also very proud of our youth leadership team. There was a time when we could only dream about our church members becoming leaders and showing initiative to organizing ministry events. Now it is a reality.
Although, I had to babysit Nikita while Olya was translating, I did get to meet the other pastors and leaders from the other churches. I was even able to releave some stress by giving a few (male) leaders a solid back rub! I think they’ll come back again!
