FCA Ukraine organized and hosted a sports ministry leader conference in Rivne, Ukraine, October 2-4. God moved and healed the hearts of 89 leaders from all over Ukraine (some traveling 12 hours by car and train). The three goals of the conference were to unite, to worship, and to fellowship.

Staff did not talk about X’s and O’s of sport ministry; instead, they invested spiritually into the lives of the leaders so they would be equipped to serve at full strength. Attendee Testimonies:

“My heart was rejoicing to see how God is changing my old friends and to see new ones!” - Anya (Kiev), soccer ministry

“I got that the Lord is always with me. He loves me. I can do anything just because He is with me!” - Dima (Zhytomyr), basketball ministry

The conference celebrated what the Lord has done in the lives of His faithful servants, and what He will continue to do through their ministries.
