Lithuania,

President’s Visit to Lithuania

At the invitation of the Lithuanian women, I was able to go to Vilnius, the capital city, to participate in the Lithuanian Women's Day Conference on May 13th 2011.
This event was well organized by the women with help from Brother Vasil from Moldova, and was attended by just under 200 women from different denominations.

This year on 29-30th October, in Lithuania, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is planning to host an initiative called Hope Festival. The Women's Conference was held to encourage, prepare and motivate the women for this up-coming event; to be active, to pray and to strive to have good relationships with their neighbours, colleagues and relatives so that they will attend Hope Festival and find the Truth as they come to know Jesus Christ. Many people are unresponsive to the good news of the Gospel; there are many religious people in Lithuania, maybe attending church twice yearly, but most are nominal believers only and do not have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus. It is important to give them the opportunity to get to know Him.

Women's Day Conference in Vilnius Lithuania

 


Leading the conference was Sandra, the women's committee Leader. The speaker was Nijole Latuziene from Klaipeda. Her husband is a former President of the Lithuanian Baptist Union. Her daughter, Lina Androviene is well known to the EBWU as we supported her for one year during her studies at the International Baptist Theological Seminary in Prague. Lina is continuing her studies working on her doctorate.
There was a warm atmosphere at the conference and God opened the windows of heaven and poured out His blessing. I felt honoured to be there.

I would ask you to pray for Lithuania; for the Hope Festival in October; for the festival organizers and all those involved in running it; above all pray that salvation comes to many people as a result.
