Last weekend, April 14-16, 2023, Christians from Poland and Ukraine met at the seventh conference of the Polish-Ukrainian Bible Institute in Lublin. We dealt with the topic „Polish specifics of Christian education and organization of Christian camps”. The lectures were given by Krzysztof Kolt from „Camp Genesis” and Olga Felonenko and Anna Rozhkova from „Solid Rock Mission”.
This time the lectures were devoted to the topic of children’s education. The first part of the lectures was devoted to biblical basics – what the Bible says about teaching, learning and acquiring knowledge, as well as what qualities should characterize a teacher, what attitude should a student have and what teacher-student relations should look like. In the second part of the lectures, participants learned about the practical aspects of organizing summer camps, weekend activities and other forms of organizing time for children. Legal issues were raised as well as those related to recruiting the right people. Examples of specific activities that are conducted with children of different age ranges were presented. Participants were also provided with sources to expand the presented knowledge, as well as contacts to experienced people whom you can ask for support so that you can independently organize activities for children and youth.

The Polish-Ukrainian Bible Institute in Lublin is the first project of its kind in our country. The main goal of the Institute is to integrate biblical Christians from Ukraine and Poland to carry out evangelistic and church projects together, as well as to exchange experiences of working for Jesus in the Ukrainian and Polish peoples, learn from each other and pray together for the future of our nations. The lectures are given by pastors, professors and Christian leaders from various evangelical churches and organizations.
The first lectures of the Polish-Ukrainian Bible Institute in Lublin were held on August 20, 2022. To date, six conferences of the Institute have taken place:
