Each month we have featured a different topic of interest to the women’s ministry. We lightly edit and record the calls and then post them on YouTube so that they can be shared freely as an online resource for more Russian-speaking women to hear and use. Our goal in choosing topics for each webinar, and for whom to invite to join the call (we can have up to 100 online at one time, using Zoom Cloud Meetings), has been to prioritize women who have some level of responsibility in their churches — whether it’s simply to disciple or mentor another sister or small group, or someone on paid staff. Online connecting webinars like this have been consistent among the Africa Southern, US Northwest, and Eastern European families of churches for a while…and there are probably others. I just wouldn’t want it to sound like the Eurasian one is the only one out there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, we have an average of 15 participants per call, with many more listening to the recordings after the event. We love these innovative opportunities to learn from real-life Biblical examples of our sisters and colleagues in churches we may never have the chance to visit. This is one of the ways we are working to solve the problem of the vast distances between Eurasian churches and providing new ways to strengthen and encourage the women who faithfully serve one another in the name of Christ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our guest speakers generally teach a Biblical lesson with personal, real-life application, followed by 20 minutes of question-and-answer from the online group. Elya Belanova, women’s ministry leader from Novosibirsk, shared on the topic of burnout<\/a>. Deanne Devries, a single women’s volunteer leader and missionary from Maputo, Mozambique shared on the topic of keeping faith fresh. And Olya Miheyeva from Moscow spoke on the topic of building strong faith in the hearts of our teens<\/a>. Another very popular talk was given by Leyla Ashikhmina, a Moscow psychologist, on her ongoing Biblical therapeutic program, Women, Confident in God<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Last month’s call was on the topic of overcoming obstacles. Our guests were Jessy Tohme, and her mentees Lilit Hakimian and Daniella Rahbany Saad from the church in Beirut, Lebanon. Jessy shared a lesson from Matthew 21 and her personal struggles with making Spirit-led decisions in difficult and unusual circumstances.
