RAMENSKOE – The Congress was held in Ramenskoye, near Moscow, on November 4–9. The theme of the event was “Unity in Structure” (John 7:21).
More than 100 delegates from 10 federal districts plunged into the depth of the theme for five days: unity with God (Nehem. 1:5), unity in love (Jn. 13:35), enemies of unity (Rom. 8:37), unity in deed (Jn. 17:21) and unity in joy (Jn. 4:36).
Traditionally, ministers of one of the federal districts were responsible for each day of the congress: a word from the coordinator, interactives, gallery of ideas — interesting events that take place in the districts, findings that can be shared with everyone and enrich each other, gifts.
Aelita Lutovna Zhidyaeva, Vice-Rector of MTI, Pastor Yuri Nikiforov and his wife Inna Nikiforov, Bishop Andrei Lisovsky preached about unity.
This year, in addition to the general meetings, there were two parallel streams — coordinator’s and ministers to teenagers, as well as many different forms of ministry and workshops: testimonies of God's glory, interactives “Six Sixes”, “Simply about the difficult”, prayer evening, work platform “Let's Talk”, presented by 18 super interesting topics, daily reflection, communication by districts, working meetings of coordinators.
The organizers, all who served and those who came to the convention are grateful to the Lord for the blessing of time spent together. The convention participants decided to continue to move in unity, to carry the received word to regional associations, churches, children's and teen ministries.
At the working meetings of federal coordinators it was decided that the next National Congress of children's and teen ministries coordinators will be held on November 18-23, 2025. During the congress, the first Conference of Children's and Adolescent Ministers will be held. Prayer and preparation for the new meeting has already begun.
