Vicka's Ministry

Vicka has been very busy between taking care of the girls and working with the church. There is no full-time children’s ministry in the church here, so she has been teaching the children a Bible lesson during the sermons every Sunday!

Here is a picture of her Sunday School class:

Vicka's Children's Church programs usually include singing, praying, a Bible story, coloring, a snack, and then a craft. Sometimes they play games and memorize a verse, too! The ages range from 3 to 8 years old (including 1 year old Anastasia!).

Vicka is also reaching out to the ladies at the church by having a Mom's prayer night on Mondays and leading a Bible Study on the Book of Romans on Sundays. The study is an inductive method by the “Precept Upon Precept Ministry”. The study has proven to be very deep and insightful. Vicka's most recent goal is to hold another tea party (she did this in June of this year) with the ladies in the church. She plans to have another tea on the 20th of September. The tea will include refreshments (tea), a small devotion time, and then a craft. She is encouraging these ladies to invite their girlfriends who do not go to church to come. Already she has heard from one of the ladies who is coming that she will be bringing an unbelieving friend who is asking many questions about God!

Here are some pictures from the last tea party that Vicka did in June. During that tea party Vicka encouraged the ladies to really reach out to their unbelieving friends and we are so excited that they have been doing just that!

This is how Vicka decorated the apartment for the tea party last June:

Here the ladies are after their tea and devotion doing their craft (a Psalm 23 bracelet):
For this year's tea Vicka plans on doing a theme around the concept that we are the "Aroma of God."

Let's pray that more women will come to Vicka's tea! There are no retreats or conferences here for the women, so the only time they have to come together for spiritual encouragement and fellowship is when Vicka is around! These women really love coming together and they especially enjoyed the tea that Vicka did in June!

Please be praying for us Sunday as we will have an opportunity to share the Lord with an unbelieving sister! Pray that she will hear the truth and open her heart for Jesus! We were told that this lady is going through a divorce, or recently divorced, so she is particularly vulnerable. Pray that she will come to know Jesus!

It is so exciting and such an honor to share Jesus!
