Report from Sydney

As the year came to a close, our team had the incredible privilege of celebrating Chanukah with 21 Russian-speaking guests.

During the gathering, we shared the meaning and origins of this cherished holiday, exploring its profound connection to the Bible. It was a wonderful opportunity to remind everyone of our calling—to be the light of the world and to shine God’s light wherever we go. We emphasized that this can only be achieved through faith in Yeshua, the Messiah—the ultimate Light who came to illuminate the darkness of this world. This timeless truth of the gospel felt especially relevant in these challenging times, offering hope and encouragement to everyone present.

After the main event, our team personally connected with many guests, gathering their contact information to continue building relationships. Remarkably, at least eight of the guests were attending for the first time, and they are not yet believers.

This opens an exciting new door for us to serve and share the message of hope with the Russian-speaking community as we step into the new year!
