Trip to Uzbekistan

I finished the training in Uzbekistan. I had a crowd of about 100 pastors and leaders from all around the country. These believers are full of joy, committed to continue the work of discipleship multiplication in spite of the danger and persecution in the country. It was such a pleasure to teach such an active and engaging audience. The topic we studied was on “How to order your private life”. My role actually was limited since most of the time I was just facilitating the process of discovering life principles from the Word of God. The training was going from 9:00 to 4.00pm, during 5 days. In the night we were having 2-3 hours workshops with other groups. A part of training was experiential learning with a lot of fun games related to the subject. After such activities we were having reflection time, when they will reflect on the learned principles from such experiential games. In the night we were having leadership training with DMM teams as well with those who were interested how to reach out mus-m. Now we are in Istanbul, Turkey where three trainings are planed with local pastors. Please keep us (I am with Svetlana) in your prayers.
