Инициатором проведения такого мероприятия была городская Дума и Комитет по социальной защите. Городская Дума предоставила помещение для этой акции – актовый зал общеобразовательной школы № 3. Удивительно то, что в свое время эту школу заканчивали служители церкви Вилис Станиславович, Тамара Станиславовна и Яков Станиславович Нейкурсы. Во время программы директор школы во вступительном слове сказала, что эта уникальная акция впервые проводится в их городе, и укрепление семей является сегодня самым необходим для города.
В последний день занятий на экране был помещен адрес личного сайта Лидии Нейкурс www.neikurs.com , на который может зайти любой желающий и получить дополнительные материалы по семейным взаимоотношениям, видеоматериалы, книги , статьи, лекции и программы.
The evangelical program, “Secrets of Family Happiness,” was held in the city of Rezekne, in the Republic of Latvia. The presenter of the program, Lydia Neykurs, is a family counselor, and the Family and Women’s Ministries director of the West Russian Union.
The initiator of this event was the City Council and the Committee on Social Protection. The City Council also provided a place for this activity, in theAssembly Hall of school № 3. The amazing thing is that churchmen such as Vilis, Tamara and James Neykurs are graduates of this school. The principal of the school, in her opening remarks, said that this is the first time such a unique event is being held in their city, and strengthening of families is a necessity in this city.
Each day, the total number of visitors constantly grew by 10-15 new people. By the end of the program, the hall was full of visitors who enjoyed singing Christian songs, and reading with interest the Adventist books. Each person received a copy of “The Great Controversy”. It is noteworthy that the first Saturday after the program a young family came to the church. Spouses said that “we will not leave this church, because only here we can find out how to make our family strong.”
130 people, as a result of the program, want to continue to learn about right relationships and how to strengthen their families. At their request, the “Happy Family” club was organized, which will begin to function next month. Each visitor left his contact information so that they could be invited to the meetings of the club, which will be functioning in Rezekne church. Dainis Rudzish, regional SDA pastor, became the director of the club.
On the last day of lectures, the address Lydia Neykurs’ personal site www.neikurs.com was placed on the screen. There anyone can get the additional material on family relations, videos, books, articles, lectures and programs.
