Generation for Christ – 2019
The 14th annual Generation for Christ Youth Conference #GFC19 was held from January 31- February 3 in Moscow, where more that 1,200 young people gathered from all over Russia, including the Far East. The Youth Ministry Department of the UECB, led by Vitaly Zanin organized the event.
Seminars, which sought to answer life and ministry’s most pressing issues, gave vision, encouraged and inspired everyone to serve the Lord. For many attenders who hadn’t been baptized, this was especially inspiring to live for Christ and in Christ. Seminar topics included:
- Time to Seek the Lord
- Knowledge of God
- Love God
- Heart of the Gospel
- Reflection of God
- Idols we Trust in…and others.
Some of the wiser and older men were able to share their experiences with the young people. Especially inspiring was to hear from the UECB President, Peter V. Mitskevich.
Worship teams from different cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Bryansk, Novosibirsk, etc.) helped lead praises to the Lord. A special guest, Andrey Zhilikhovsky, Bolshoi Theater soloist, blessed us along with a composter, musician, author and performer, pastor Vladimir Tomashov.
Also inspiring was a time of worship through the Lord’s Supper, led by vice president of the UECB, Victor V. Ignatenkov. In his message, most poignant were the words, “God wishes to meet with you so that you will receive a gift – forgiveness through the atoning sacrifice of Christ!”
Overall, the conference was a special time for each participant, as God did a transforming work in every heart, sending young laborers to His harvest in their cities and local churches.
