Conference in Kiev / 2
 Women with a Hunger for the Word! by Miriam Nadler |
||||||
 |
During this trip to Ukraine I was privileged to teach the women for a number of sessions while Sam taught the men. Two Messianic congregations joined together along with some women from neighboring cities, where we were to meet all day Friday, and on Sunday. A few of the ladies who were cooking and serving lunch and dinner early in the week asked if they might have a special study on Thursday evening, since their cooking would prohibit them from coming to the weekend sessions. |

|
So on Thursday night we assembled, at which point I didn’t realize that most of these women had never been to a Ladies’ Bible study before--they came not knowing what to expect with ‘women teaching women’. I spoke on “Growing Deeper in the Shalom of God, ”and I was blessed to have Natalia as my translator. |

At first it was difficult to know how well the material was being received, but Natalia was familiar with my teaching, and she could even translate my jokes! After the study a number of the women came up and said, “This is wonderful. The teaching was very helpful to me.” |

|
|
The ladies responsible for the cooking had a special prayer request, “Please pray that we can cook all night so we can come to the teaching tomorrow morning.” So we prayed. The next morning these same ladies were exuberant: “The Lord heard our prayers, we were able to prepare the food last night so we will be able to attend the studies this morning.” | |||||
|
On Friday and Sunday we had an even larger group including a group of women who had driven all night to attend. What a blessing to teach these women so hungry for the Word of God, and to see them receive it with joy! We are looking forward to our next visit. Thanks for your prayers! “Pocka:” ‘see you later!’Y |
