Not everyone can join the Synod of Evangelical Lutheran Churches in Ukraine’s annual Days of Faith Conference, so these gatherings will provide an exciting, timely alternative. The church plans to hold two seminars for women and two or three seminars for men and leaders of congregations focused on the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation and its themes of Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Scripture Alone.
Summer Youth Camp
Summer is a time of refreshment. The Summer Youth Camp brings together youth and young adults for a retreat to encourage them in their faith, and invite friends to hear the Gospel. This year`s focus will be on the Reformation. The church also sees the gathering as an opportunity to look for gifted young men and talk to them about the preparing for service as pastors in the Holy Ministry.
Days of Faith – Theological Conference
The Synod of Evangelical Lutheran Churches in Ukraine (SELCU) provides this outreach to members of all her churches to gather for fellowship and growth in their Christian faith. It is a wonderful way of helping others know they are not alone.

Bible Study Outreach in the Village of Zorya
Pastor Sergei Bevz has been sharing Christ in his home village of Zorya and has been able to share the Gospel with many. He continues holding Bible classes for children, adults and youth. Finances are needed for transportation and resources.

Mission and Ministry to Kok Kloi, Thailand
Pastor Chujit, his wife Aporn, and a few congregational leaders share the Gospel as best they can in south Thailand’s Phang-nga province. Pastor Chujit sells rubber and pineapples in his spare time to make extra money to survive but it’s not enough. Supporting this project will help Pastor Chujit and his family with the mission and ministry work in South Thailand.
Micro-finance Program for Church Workers in Central America
This program will help church workers receive funds so they can start a business, farm some land, and begin self-sustaining projects to provide ongoing funds to care for their families.
I want to help church workers in Central America become self-supporting.
Motorcycle for Mission outreach to Masaya
Pastor Guillermo Zuniga from Granada, Nicaragua has been doing mission outreach into the region of the Masaya Volcano. There are 22 children and 12 adults currently attending Bible Studies however, Pastor Guillermo needs a motorcycle to commute to this area more regularly.
Computer Training for Deaconesses and Children
A computer lab is available at the Mission Centre in Chinandega where deaconesses and students can access donated computers. Money is needed to provide transportation to courses, on-site meals and teachers to train the church workers and others.
Music Program for Children and Youth
Music and worship go hand-in-hand. Supporting this project will help train children and youth in music so they can accompany congregational singing and grow in their praise to the Lord. The funds will supply music and instruments.
I want to help the church teach music to youth and children in Nicaragua.
