The church summed up the results of its activity for 4 years
There is a holiday in the church «Christ is the answer»! Four years have passed since its foundation in Rivne. On February 23, 2020, the christian missionary community gathered for a festive service to remember the entire journey together and thank God for his abundant blessings.
One of the main activities of the church is to help socially vulnerable segments of the population-children, retired people, and victims of the war in Donbas.
«The word of God compares the church to the body of Jesus Christ. Just as all organs function in a healthy body, so does every person in the Church. And I, as a pastor, am pleased to see more and more people «light up» to serve God, help others and spread the Gospel» – Taras Sen, pastor of the Church «Christ is the answer», Rivne city.
During its existence, the young community «Christ is the answer» organized 18 recreation camps in the Carpathians, founded English, teen and youth clubs, and conducted more than 100 children’s evangelizations – sports grounds, holidays, and school camps.
«Children were very important to Jesus, and He paid a lot of attention to them. That is why our church is actively working in this direction. For children, it is very important to play, because this the best way for them to perceive information. For us it is the best tool to teach children about God.» – Victor Khristiuk, a youth leader.
Thanks to the efforts of members of the church, about 50 charitable ophthalmological clinics were held in Rivne, where more than 3,500 people consulted a doctor and received free glasses.
«Jesus Christ said, «I will build My Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it.» Today, the Church of Jesus Christ has a great influence on this world through preaching the Gospel, spreading God’s Word, serving those in need, and calling for repentance. Our church «Christ is the answer» also takes part in this and does everything possible to help people come to God» – Hryhorii Tishchuk, deacon of the church «Christ is the answer»
Ministers try to heal both physical and spiritual «vision». For 4 years, almost 3000 Christian TV programs «Christ saves», «So the Bible says» and «Christ is the answer» were aired on 9 TV channels of the country. In addition, 800,000 newspapers and 250,000 christian calendars were distributed throughout Ukraine.
Every Sunday, missionaries visit hospitals and nursing homes to support people, share God’s Word, and serve those who need it most. Pastor Taras Sen regularly conducts lectures in educational institutions on spiritual and religious topics, bringing the Gospel to young people in schools, colleges and universities.
«All this work, often difficult, is done by ordinary people. But their hearts were changed by the love of Jesus Christ. They once experienced the grace and love of God, which changed them forever. Therefore, we owe the mercy of our Living God and give Him glory.» – Alexander Prokopovych, responsible for evangelization.
The meeting on the occasion of the anniversary in Rivne was attended by missionaries of the mission «Christ is the answer» from the Luhansk region. Prayers for further service in Ukraine, songs of praise, and sermons continued after the service ended. Together, over a festive dinner, members of the church shared blessings, watched videos from the life of the church, and thanked God for all the people who are working on the spiritual growth of the church of Jesus Christ.
Give
All areas of service of the community are carried out through voluntary donations of caring people. The most important thing is not the size of the donation, but the attitude and condition of the heart. God sees our needs and seeks to deprive us of our worries. He also wants to see the love and sacrifice of our grateful hearts. «Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver!» (2 Cor. 9:7).
