Репортаж из «Чижовка-арены»: почему «Фестиваль надежды» стал историческим событием для Беларуси

Watch the report on the Tsarkva.bel channel to see how the "Festival of Hope" united thousands of Christians, and the Gospel resounded for two days in the packed Chizhovka Arena:    / @church_bel   • Broadcasts and musical performances can be viewed on the festival's official YouTube channel:    / @hopefestminsk   On May 16-17, 2026, over 700 evangelical churches in Belarus participated in the "Festival of Hope" in Minsk. The day before, thousands of Christians prayed around the clock for as many people as possible to hear the Gospel through this event. And during these days, thousands of people indeed gathered under the roof of the Chizhovka Arena. The 1,300-member "Voice of Hope" orchestra and choir, along with soloists from Belarus and other countries, spoke of God the Creator and the atoning sacrifice of Christ. Franklin Graham also preached a sermon on salvation, translated by Victor Gumm. We attended the festival to show you its key moments and introduce the main players. We hope this video will encourage all the musicians, volunteers, and prayer chain participants and will serve as a reminder of the good work of evangelism after the festival. 0:00 Welcome 0:52 Host Maxim Bukatin: God's great guidance and blessing throughout the entire preparation process 2:25 Who organized the festival 3:02 Dmitry Pekun on the choir's repertoire and the main unifying factor 4:50 John Barbour on the role of music in evangelism 7:24 Viktor Mendelev on the meaning of the song "I Want to Stand at the Cross" 8:34 Personal experiences and the power of prayer before the festival 10:03 Ekaterina Krashchuk: "Thank you God for the honor of participating in such a grand evangelism" 11:31 Huntley Brown on dedicating his talent to God and his trip to Belarus 13:11 Leonid Mikhovich on the significance of the festival for Belarus 14:10 Excerpt from an interview with Viktor Gamm: the goals of the "Festival of Hope" 14:49 The main message: a fragment of a sermon and a call to repentance 16:17 Conclusion and an appeal to Viewers Video: Mark Barannikov, Svyatoslav Kanatush, Gleb Latyshevich Editing: Mark Barannikov Editor: Alexandra Kanatush Proofreader: Olga Antonova Cover: Ekaterina Shaitor Cover photo: Festival of Hope editorial staff This report uses the video "Current Interview | Viktor Gamm," from news.by: https://news.by/videogallery/intervyu...
