Thursday, May 12. On this day there was the first seminar of the conference for pastors that was held by Henry Madava, the president of the international mission Christ for All Cities and the senior pastor of the Victory Church in Kiev. This seminar was attended by over 300 people, who welcomed pastor Henry very warmly. Pastor Henry taught about the need for every pastor, leader, and Christian to take responsibility for the work of God. The biblical hero Shammah was one of those people who took responsibility on themselves, and through him God gave a big victory to the people of Israel. The teaching was also focused on the importance and methods of church planting in different regions of the country, reaching the entire India with God's Word, and the unity between the churches.
Sunday, May 15, 2011. Final day of Jesus Festival in Hyderabad, India. This morning Pastor Henry Madava and Christ for all Cities mission team preached in six local churches.

Friday, May 13. Today there was the second seminar of the conference for pastors on which pastor Henry Madava taught Indian pastors and leaders about the development strategy of the church. By the example of the prophet Elisha and the Syrian captain Naaman (2 Kings 5:1-14), it was shown that all the strategies needed for successful ministry and dynamic development of the church are contained in the Bible. The only thing is to see them and apply properly. On the basis of the same scriptures pastor Henry taught about the necessity of giving opportunities to everyone in the church, so that they might release their gifts and use them in the ministry. In the second part of the seminar pastor Henry disclosed five essential strategies required for successful growth of the church. The seminar was concluded with a prayer for pastors and leaders, so that each of them could become a man of awakening in their regions. It was obvious that the word received by the Indian servants would bear fruit for the expansion of God's kingdom.
India. It is another country, another area being won to the Lord according to the vision of the international mission Christ for All Cities, whose president Henry Madava is the senior pastor of the Victory Church in Kiev.
