Blessing of our 13th granddaughter Laura

Greetings, love of our Lord Jesus Christ, dear brothers and sisters from the USA - our partners in evangelism here in Ukraine!

Thank God for one more month, which we have lived here calmly, without bombings in our region, and we, His Church, were able to serve God by preaching the Gospel among the refugees and in our churches.

1. Blessing of our 13th granddaughter Laura:

We have another joy in the family. Our son Slavik, with his wife Tanya, had a daughter, Laura, who is their second child. And they brought their daughter to church for blessing. There was a very rich program, the children had a congratulation for little Laura. Also, I, and our entire church, prayed for Laura's blessing.

2. Evangelism:

We had an evangelization in our church with a brother from Romania, with Dan Fedoryan. There were many of the settlers at the meeting, and I also took 8 rehabilitators from Malinovka to this evangelization. After the meeting, we distributed social packages to the refugees for which they were very grateful. They thanked and blessed all those who help Ukraine both socially and with humanitarian aid.

3. Breaking bread:

-On the first Sunday of the month we had the communion service with the church. We also held this service in our church, as well as in the church in Dolzhok, since there are no ministers in the church there.

-I also visited one sick person at home with Holy Communion, and he was very happy to see us.

4. Leaders from our church held lessons for children in the village of Dolzhok, where 40 children from the village gathered. They had a busy day of rest: they listened to the Word of God, had games and received gifts. We pray for these children, because they are from unbelieving families.

5.Thanks:

-We are very grateful to God for peace and tranquility in our area and we can serve God by helping other people in their needs.

-Thank God for you, brothers and sisters from the USA, for always supporting us here in our ministry among the migrants.

-I also thank you for your prayers for Ukraine.

6. Prayer requests:

-Keep praying, together with us, for peace in Ukraine.

-For the fact that we would continue to be calm and there would be no arrivals of enemy missiles, so that we could serve God here.

-Pray for all those who attended our evangelism, that the Lord would touch their hearts and that they would repent.

-For the Word of God that is being sown now, so that It would bear many fruits of repentance.

-For those 40 children from the village of Dolzhok who listened to the Word of God, so that the Lord would test their hearts and they would know Jesus Christ as their Personal Savior.

With love to you, your brother in Christ, Pascar Alex.

I thank the Lord for helping me this month to serve Him and work in His Field.

1. In the first half of the month of April, our church and youth prepared for evangelistic meetings in connection with the feast of Easter-Resurrection of Jesus Christ. We prepared the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday, then the youth, children and our choir prepared a program for evangelism.

- We also held an evangelistic meeting in the church of the village of Dolzhok on the same day. The youth came with us and brought joy to this little church. I also took 10 rehabilitators to Dolzhok, since they are Ukrainian-speaking and do not understand the Romanian language, we preached in Ukrainian. And the youth also chose and sang praise songs in Ukrainian so that the Word of God would be more accessible and understandable to them.

2. We helped lonely teacher Valery with medicines. I also took him twice to Novoselitsa in the hospital for leg rehabilitation. Our church helps him with groceries and other help he needs. We pray for him to repent.

3. Our church also helps refugees in our village and refugees in the village of Malinovka. We make social packages with groceries and other help they need. They are very grateful that God does not forget about them and takes care of them through believing people.
