Last sunday, February 10, Nika and i organised a party for our friends and volunteers, who are actively involved with the youth movement PULSE.

We had a few goals for this event:

1. To bless our teammates and to let them rest, have fun and spend time with each other in an informal atmosphere, where they don't have to plan or lead anything, but can just relax and enjoy themselves.

2. Bring together everyone who is involved with PULSE, as the movement grew bigger, and people are split into 3 small groups, which meet weekly, but don't often closely interact with each other.

3. To talk about love, especially brotherly love among us, studying Bible verses about love and trying to apply them to our lives.

In order to do it, we chose St. Valentine's Day theme for the party.

Thank God, He helped us reach all of these goals and even more. The Lord helped us to focus on the Gospel one more time and to see its value and its meaning for our lives. Hearing and repeating the Good News many times often makes us forget what it is really about and how essential it is for each of us.

So, we thank God for reminding us what it means to be loved by God and to love each other like He loves us.

It was also great that our teammates invited their non-believing friends to the party, and they got to hear the Gospel too! Praise the Lord!

The verses, that we studied:

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another" (Jn.13:34)

"Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much" (Jas.5:16)
