Artem –KJMC Minister, Kyiv:

There are lots of people here who are very to the heart.

Anya – KJMC Minister, Kyiv:

I think it’s important to show the younger generation who have joined the community what it’s gone through and what it’s still going through for example even now.

Dasha – Event Organizer:

Our goal was really just to thank everyone who joined our community, our elders, our Rabbi, and of course to let all those who serve rest because for us this is truly important.

Alina – Event Organizer:

It’s the continuity of generations meaning we do our part just as those who came before us did their part and we see this in certain biblical principles.

A special gift on the first evening was an exuberant dance that collected several generations of dance group members of the congregation.

Lera – Senior KJMC Minister, Kyiv:

I was the leader of the first gen of our first dance team we went back on stage after 30 years and I felt like those 30 years hadn’t passed at all and now when I see how this ministry has grown. It brings me so much joy to witness its fruits.

Borys Grisenko – Rabbi, Head of the Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations:

We’ve invited only truly special pastors and Bishops today who’ve played and continue to play a significant role in The Establishment and life of the Kyiv congregation and later other congregations as well.

Anatoliy Havrylyuk – Senior Bishop of the Association of Independent Charismatic Christian Churches of Ukraine:

The congregation has made a significant contribution to the development of the church the relationship between the church and Israel as well as the growth of Messianic congregations when prayers for Ukraine were held in the Palace of sports, Protestants stood on stage and among them the Messianic congregation held a prominent Place. Everyone understood that this was part of the Awakening and a blessing for Ukraine.

Oleh Shcherbakov – Bishop, Pastor of the “New Covenant” Church:

This is a real fruit but it’s not the end yet there will be much greater fruit and this fruit will not only be in the Jewish Messianic communities. It will be in the church as well.

Henri Madawa – Pastor of the Victory Church:

You went against the current because being a Jew in Ukraine is one thing but being a Messianic Jew is another and therefore the fact that you were able to rise to this level is a remarkable breakthrough and it’s very powerful.

Andriy Tyshchenko – Senior Bishop of the Charismatic Evangelical Curches of Ukraine:

I believe that the Kyiv Jewish Messianic Congregation does a lot both in the public sphere and in the spiritual sphere of course much more. I believe that what Rabbi Boris Grisenko is doing is very important work may God bless him his family and your entire Community wishing you all the best and blessings.

And remember the very best is yet to come.
