The annual Podyaka Fest (Thanksgiving Festival) was held in Kyiv on Thanksgiving Day, September 23, 2018. From 13:00 to 18:00 one could meet skateboarders, artists, or athletes, and visit thematic photo zones. In addition to entertainment and presentation tents there was also an evangelistic location. It was organized by the youth of CCX Ukraine. All visitors could get the Gospel of Luke for free!
When, in 2013 on the central square of the Ukrainian capital, blood was shed for the first time, Oleksandr Bohun and Sofiia Oliferchuk (now Dubyk) were more than half a thousand kilometers away from each other.
Oleksandr, a member of the Evangelical Christian Baptist Church in Berdychiv, studied at Kiev Polytechnic Institute and was a member of CCX Ukraine. Sofiia lived in Lviv and was getting a second higher education at National Pedagogical Dragomanov University.
