CHITA (RUSSIA) - On April 15 and 16, “Salvation in Jesus” Christian church in Chita warmly welcomed participants of the regional women’s conference under the titile “Living by the Word”.
– When I meet women, I notice, that the Word of God is being questioned. Very often we, women, are being moved by our desires, feelings, and we forget that the way is found not in our own strength, but in the Word of God, – says the coordinator of the women’s ministry in the Siberian Federal District, pastor of women ministry network in “Salvation in Jesus” church Lyudmila Panasovets. – While we were preparing for the conference, God clearly opened for me Genesis, chapter 3: the serpent said to Eve “Indeed, has God said”. I realized that very often the devil deceives us, lies come to our lives, we begin to doubt, and then comes disappointment. That is why we specifically stressed that we should live according to the Word.
The speakers at the conference were Larisa Grabovenko, head of the women’s ministry of the Russian Church of Christians of Evangelical Faith, Lyudmila Panasovets, coordinator of the women’s ministry in Siberian Federal District and Tatyana Vairakh, coordinator of children’s ministry in Siberian Federal District, deaconess of Chita church “Salvation in Jesus”.
500 bright, unique, talented women from Chita, Ulan-Ude, Krasnokamensk, Borzya and other towns of Trans-Baykal region gathered at the conference. During two days the participants of the conference talked about a woman who is living by the Word.
– Sometimes, in the midst of our circumstances we tend to blame our husbands, children, but the truth is that if God is our shelter, if our truth is God – then our salvation is found in God. And God has all the answers, – says Angelica, one of the participants.
– I think that the word that we receive shapes us, makes us better, more beautiful, first of all, on the inside, – says Svetlana, participant of the conference.
For many women the “Living by the Word” conference became a true revelation. God ministered to many hearts, comforting and encouraging. Sure enough, all sisters in Christ will be happy to meet again at a conference like this one.
