"You are special," says God to us and fills us with His uniqueness. The most creative ideas and the most incredible plans have come from God. Our twelve teams reflect God's uniqueness and always have interesting ideas. Each team is so special!
The Vinnitsa team is new in our IP family but has already won lots of hearts for God. They have invented a new way of doing that--using their knowledge of the Polish language. And now there are already three groups of Polish + Bible.
The Dnipropetrovsk team is regularly working with businessmen - contacts, cold calls, meetings, training, and seminars. They work with the insurance companies and a security company. And in April this team will be the first to have a Business English project.
The Donetsk team has started a Music Club for those who would like to listen to live music, sing songs together, listen or even sing Christian songs. This Music Club is attracting people and becomes a great opportunity to build relationships.
The Zhitomir team has started to show films to students. More than 30 students gathered in the dormitories to watch a movie and discuss it afterwards. Right now this event has turned into a discussion group. Students discuss topics such as "Faith and Knowledge," "God's Existence," and "The Purpose of Life."
The Zaporozhie team has a business club which is a great opportunity for attendants to build personal and business relationships with each other. They share information, prepare topics, and tell about the books they have read
The Kiev team as well as the Vinnitsa team are lucky to have a person speaking a foreign language. The Kiev team has a German speaker. They started German groups a few years ago and now are working to develop them. That is one more way to win people for God.
The Lviv team has found out another idea to get people interested. The lay leader from the church has started a Bible study group + Drama club. People come there to study the Word first and then learn the art of acting using the gifts God has given to them.
The Odessa team has got a new opportunity after the conference for teachers "In Education is Our Hope." They started the advanced training courses for the participants of the conference. These courses take place every Friday until October (with the summer holiday break).
The Sympheropol team offers a special program for women. The church there works with a sisters' group for Moms with kids. Women come with their children and have a chance to study the Bible in a group while their kids are playing together.
The Kharkov team has a men's group. They organized a group for men-unbelievers in combination with athletics. Men come for both sports and fellowship and have already built good relationships with each other. In May they are going fishing together.
The Kherson team has invented a "Fruit Fest" with the topic "Sweet Childhood." About 30 people came to the fest. They ate fruit and fruit salad, sang kids' songs, and attempted to recognize each other by their pictures from childhood. Then they watched a "You're Special" movie and discussed it afterwards. The Cherkassy team has organized evangelistic volleyball for unbelievers. People of different professions play - educators, businessmen, military officers, workers. They not only play volleyball, but also have tea and fellowship afterwards.
