EBWU Conference in Yerevan
On April 3, 2009, a sister’s conference took place in Yerevan, in the Central Church, organized by the European Baptist Women’s Union ( EBWU). Seven sisters (Livija Lame, Margun Warem,
Aniko Ujvari, Elizabeth Vekas, Wies Dijkstra, Margaret Brown, Susana Mefford) from seven different European countries arrived in Armenia and among them was the president of EBWU, Livija Lame. The topic of the conference was how the sisters can serve not only in churches, but also out of them.
Sisters from all over Armenia and Javakhk (Georgia) were invited to take part in the conference. There were over three hundred participants.
Guest speakers told their testimonies and shared their experience about how to lead services in churches, how to help the aged ones, ill ones and the children from non-believer families, and also how to organize work with orphans and the victims of human trafficking. One of the main points was also about how we can give our finances and abilities for God’s glory. After that time was given for personal conversation and prayers. According to the words of the members of that group their aim was to encourage Armenian sisters to serve to God in unity at home, in work place and everywhere where God leads them.

Summer Camp 2008 in Aghveran
The Union of ECB churches of Armenia organized summer camp for children from July 7 to August 4 this year. By God's love and faithfulness this camp came true. About 300 children from 8-14 age group participated in the camp. Some of them were already saved children, but the most of them accepted Jesus as their Saviour in the camp. The goal of the camp was to tell children about Jesus that they might know Him and love Him more then anything else in life. The children desired to accept Jesus Christ both after Bible lessons and during the day. The Lord also provided different teaching materials, lessons and all things that were necessary to teach the children clearly, particularly object lessons, which were helpful for the explanation of the Bible lessons.
We taught 6 parables of Jesus Christ. The children learned about the importance of repentance, faith and the armour of salvation in order to build up their lives on the Word of God. In the evenings there was a teaching on prayer. Before going to bed they had a discussion in the small groups. At the end of each week we had a special evening event. The children were well cared for and loved, that's why the most of the children didn't want to leave the camp. God blessed this camp by His presence and by keeping us from evil and trials.

Hankavan Summer Camp 2007
We had many blessings in August. Many times we were witnesses of the ways God had kept His children in difficult situations. The Lord bestowed His blessings on us so we had many witnesses of God's miracles and His almighty hand. There were 336 children in the summer camp, 201 of them received Christ. 113 of them renewed their faith, some of them didn't have the assurance of salvation. We praise the Lord for peace we had during those three weeks in Hankavan. The difficulties we faced in the summer camp made our brothers and sisters closer to each other through the power of prayer. This is also God's grace. Five children didn't want to receive Christ as well as 11 children left the camp (on the first or the second day of the camp) because of different reasons (sickness, longing for a home and so on).
I was the person in charge of the camp and as I looked at the work that had been done, I was excited about it. Praise the Lord! This is also God's grace that He blesses us in many ways.
Once we announced to the children that we're going to give them the New Testimonies, and they were so happy. At the end of the camp we were invited from another camp to participate in their last day bonfire. We told them if we came we would sing two spiritual songs. They agreed and we went. I was so encouraged to see how the children were singing without shame or fear. The next day they allowed us to give them the New Testimonies but before they had rejected us. This is also God's grace and we give praise to Him (Rom. 8:31). There were many blessings about which I didn't write to you but we're aware of them, how He blessed us and led us for His glory. God bless you, too!

Ordination in 2008
Then saith he unto his disciples. The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. (Mt.9:37-38)
The churches are badly in need of spiritual labourers who will be ready to take care of God’s people. According to the needs of our churches and the answers to our prayers seven brothers were ordained. They were anointed for the service of deacon in the local churches. Seven pastors and the members of the churches participated in this ceremony. Three of seven brothers are the deacons of the Yerevan churches, two are the deacons of the Ashtarak church, one is the deacon of the Armavir church, and the last one is the deacon of Akhltskha church, which is in Georgia. May God be glorified! Amen.

Pastors' Conference in Sevan
How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity.
(Psalm 133:1)
The purposes of this meeting are:
- to worship God in unity
- to know about churches in different areas of Armenia, what kind of blessings and difficulties they have
- to pray for churches, pastors and ministers
- to discus about future projects and ministries
- to hear reports from mission field and leadership
This congress was 10th since 1998. And every year members of congress are increasing in number, because the Lord blesses His work. Because of financial difficulties we could not invite many others. Praise the Lord for brothers who took part in congress. This year two new brothers from Karabakh could attend in congress. They have shared about church life in Karabakh.

ՀԱՅ ԱՎԵՏԱՐԱՆԱԿԱՆ ՄԿՐՏԱԿԱՆ ՔՐԻՍՏՈՆՅԱՆԵՐԻ ԵԿԵՂԵՑՈՒ ՀԱՅՏԱՐԱՐՈՒԹՅՈՒՆԸ
ԱՄՆ-ի Օկլահոմա նահանգից Հայաստան ժամանած երգչախմբի վերաբերյալ
Տեղեկատվական տարբեր աղբյուրներից տեղեկացանք, որ ԱՄՆ-ի Օկլահոմա նահանգից Հայաստան է ժամանում երգչախումբ: Փորձեցինք նամակագրական կապով կասեցնել սխալ դրդապատճառների հիման վրա գործունեության ծավալումը Հայաստանում եւ մասնավորապես Հայ առաքելական սուրբ եկեղեցու դեմ արտահայտված սխալ դիրքորոշումները:
Հայ ավետարանական մկրտական քրիստոնյաների եկեղեցին, որը Հայաստանում ավետարանական մկրտական շարժման պատմական ժառանգորդն է, խստորեն մերժում եւ անընդունելի է համարում բոլոր կազմակերպիչների եւ հանձինս Ավետարանչական ընկերակցության (Ավետարանական եկեղեցու) հովանավորչական գործունեությունը այս երգչախմբի նկատմամբ: Միեւնույն ժամանակ, Հայ ավետարանական մկրտական քրիստոնյաների եկեղեցին որեւէ մեկին իրավունք չի տվել իր անունից ներկայանալու եւ գործունեություն ծավալելու Հայաստանում:
Ի լրումն ուզում ենք նաեւ տեղեկացնել, որ Հայ ավետարանական մկրտական քրիստոնյաների եկեղեցին անցել է ստալինյան եւ կոմունիստական ռեժիմի հալածանքների ու արհավիրքների միջով, մշտապես պահպանելով բարիդրացիական հարաբերություններ Մայր Հայ առաքելական սուրբ եկեղեցու հետ` ստանալով մշտական խնամք այդ շրջանում, որի վառ ապացույցն է ներկայիս հաստատուն հարաբերությունների առկայությունը: Ուստի Հայաստանի Հանրապետությունը կարիք չունի նոր «առաքելությունների»:
Խմբ. կողմից տեղեկացնենք, որ Հայ ավետարանական մկրտական քրիստոնյաների եկեղեցին չի ենթարկվում Ռընե Լեւոնյանի գլխավորած «Ավետարանչական եկեղեցուն»:
