Here are some pictures of our second week of ministry here in Ukraine.
Many of the mornings have been spent visiting classes like this one. For the entire class period (1.5 hrs), we talk to the class about our travels and experiences while on The World Race. Discussing culture and answering various questions gives the students a chance to practice their English in speaking and comprehension. Also, hearing native speakers helps them with pronunciation.
This is a class of 3rd year students at the Linguistics University. They are all studying English and French.
Below is a picture of English club. Our main purpose in visiting classes like the one above is to create a connection with the students by telling them stories about our travels and answering their questions. At the end of each class visit we invite them to join us at English Club, a free club that meets once a week and gives students additional opportunities to practice their English with native speakers. For us, it is an opportunity to go a little deeper with the students, build friendships, and invite them to CCX events at the office or through out the city.
This is our ice-breaker game of ‘Never Have I Ever’
After a few ‘get to know you’ games, we split up into smaller groups and talked more in-depth

Below are pictures from Movie Night. Every Friday night at a local university, we play an English movie with English subtitles and have a 20-30 minute discussion about moral/ ethical themes presented in the film. It’s another great outreach opportunity to meet and form friendships with students.
On this Friday we watched Finding Neverland, this was my discussion group….wonderful people!
