Bible study department report

• The 18 Bible Study Coordinators are helping churches to start small group ministries across the country. Many of the small groups lead to new church starts. Coordinators made presentations of Bible Study Program for churches; they also reminded church members about the importance of small Bible Study groups; led Bible Study classes and distributed manuals.

• Meetings with church pastors and group leaders have a special place in the ministry of Coordinators. They attend all possible conferences of their regions, bring materials there and with a purpose to distribute the manuals and teach the leaders.
• On September 17-18, 2010 we held the conference for coordinators "Taste of Fatherhood"(Some pictures are attached). It was very successful and blessed. 18 Bible Study Coordinators were present at the meeting. Ministers gathered with Anatoly Pizhevsky to get trained and encouraged. The conference had several topics «Father's Heart," "Taste of Fatherhood", "Discipling" united under one common theme.
• For the question "Something special, what did you learn at this Conference?" participants answered:
• I learned how to be a father at home and in church on the basis of God's word. Also, how to display Christ in my family, church and others.
• It is important to teach Christians the fatherhood
• Fatherhood is an important part in the relationships between the family and the church. This conference training helped me to see my shortcomings and the way to correct them.
• Each church can do more for the glory of the Lord
• Testimonies of brothers on their life moments with children in their families.
• New understanding of fatherhood.
• The importance of personal work with people
• During the conference I felt responsibility for the ministry in a special way and received a huge inspiration.
• Once again, I overestimated my paternity. I want to do ministry in the family and the church in a different manner.
• We can do much more than it does now.
We thank God for the opportunity to conduct a long-awaited conference and for all the coordinators who came to the village of Hope in Bucha.
• We have following prayer needs:
- For our coordinators and their families (for God's wisdom, vision, support and good health)
- For churches, Bible Study groups and their leaders
- For further distribution of the Bible Study materials in every oblast of Ukraine

May God richly bless you.
