UKRAINE – The Synod of Evangelical Lutheran Churches in Ukraine (SELCU) held its annual “Days of Faith” theological conference during the final week of June 2019, with Lutheran Church–Canada (LCC) pastor Rev. Kurt Reinhardt serving as this year’s main speaker.

Rev. Reinhardt spoke on the topic of “Life in Christ,” drawing on John 16:1-11. “Pastor Reinardt and his well-prepared, solid Lutheran theological teaching was well-received by SELCU’s members,” noted LCC missionary and SELCU pastor Rev. Oleksiy Navrotskyy. He noted that approximately 130 people (including adults and children) gathered daily to hear Rev. Reinhardt’s evening lectures.

The “Days of Faith” conference is geared towards laypeople, and features an intensive week of Bible study, prayer, and worship.

Lutheran Church–Canada has been a close partner to the Synod of Evangelical Lutheran Churches in Ukraine since its inception. In addition to funding Rev. Navrotskyy’s work, LCC operates SELCU’s seminary and supports various mission and social ministry projects within the Ukrainian church, including the “Days of Faith” conference.
