It was not just training!



I studied at the Evangelization School of Leaders in Yalta, November 7 - 13. The purpose of this course is to teach Christians to use a specific evangelization method which they can teach others to use. There were about 25 students and 20 trainers helped them. Each trainer had one or two trainees.


This course was very practical. After studying theory we put it immediately into practice. We listened to lectures, wrote, watched demonstrations to back-up theoretical material and every evening went to evangelize on the streets of Yalta to see how this method worked for people. I was shocked to find out how many people were open to God's Word.
It wasn't easy for me, believe me! But there were people, who prayed with us after we communicated the gospel.
The majority of people who identified themselves as Christians, when answering the questions of the questionnaire said they received salvation by deeds. Many people were interested to know would they go to heaven. Only a few said that topic was not important for them.
In general I have an impression that the population of Yalta know who Jesus is but has a wrong understanding of the Word of God because they do not read it. Despite of that there were people who were ready to listen. Their hearts were open.
During those 5 days more than 500 people heard the Gospel and more than 300 people prayed at the end of conversations with us. Please pray for the people who desired to come closer to God to know Him and follow Him.

Were these prayers sincere? - only God knows. We just did what He called us to do – plant seeds of His Word.
That week was hard for us, because we didn't sleep enough, memorized lots of information, did things which we didn't do before and at the same time didn't do things we did previously because we were asked at the beginning of the course to forget our previous evangelization experience for one week.

But obedience equals blessings!!! Praise the Lord! And thanks everyone who prayed!
