A month and a half ago, the church in Zheltye Vody, Ukraine, turned to the city administration with a request to put up a tent for distributing literature. The community prayed about this, and the city authorities met halfway and issued a permit for 3 seats.

The community also expresses its deep gratitude to the Director of Shop 50 and 9 for permission to set up tents near these shops. It so happened that church members put up a tent near a bread stall, and now every Saturday people receive, in addition to physical bread, also spiritual bread.

The community set to work with enthusiasm. Every Saturday a special prayer service is held for people and literature. The presbyter of the church, Evgeny Suvorov, does a great job.

Pathfinders have also joined the ministry. They distribute children's literature and booklets, inviting children to classes in their club. The work of the tent aroused great interest among the residents of the region. Regular readers began to appear. Vendors in nearby shops are already eagerly awaiting the tent so they may get something to read for themselves. The newspapers Skarbnichka and My Healthy Family are in great demand.

In addition to newspapers, church members offer readers brochures about the Seventh-day Adventist church. Each newspaper and booklet is stamped with the address of the church and the time of the service.

The Church in Zheltye Vody expresses its deep gratitude to the Kryvyi Rih communities for their assistance in the development of the ministry. Special thanks to Artyom Polonka for financial assistance.

The church plans to expand the project and open a mobile library with hot herbal tea, as well as create a "prayer box" where prayer requests from people will be collected. The church prays and believes that she will soon see the fruits of this work.
