In November and December of 2017, seminars for ministers and other church members were held in different cities of Russia and Ukraine. For the course premarital counseling, which prepares young couples for marriage, people showed great interest.
Ivan Bulychev, a senior Pastor for the Krasnoyarsk region says: “I attended the seminar in December and I can say that after being there that each pastor who attended this seminar will be equipped with materials and knowledge for conduction counseling with young couples. The seminar reveals the problems of a relationship between a man and a woman, their parents and the church. Our modern society and the current state of morality has distorted the image of marriage.
Each newlywed brings their own baggage of problems, corruption, and lies about what a relationship is through their own life experience. If we don’t steer against this we will move
A young man who understands himself and the principles of a family will avoid many problems that he might face after getting married. Premarital counseling helps to be set free from the baggage of sinful behavior, addictions and internal conflicts. It also helps to replace the false beliefs with truth and leads to obedience to Christ.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all those who pray and participate in the ministry of counseling. May the Lord reward you!
