More than 120 participants attend the annual conference, including people from occupied Crimea. Pastor Roland Syens and wife Anita led sessions that were so well received they have been invited to lead the conference again in 2018. Support for this conference will allow participants to gather and learn from their Canadian brothers and sisters.

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.
I want to support the Reformation gatherings in Ukraine.
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.
