Ministry in a kindergarten

Dear brothers and sisters from the USA, from the organization PIEI America, we greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ. I praise God that through His grace and through His mercy we have lived to the middle of this 2025. During this time, we have seen how the Lord works wonderfully with us, how He loves us and how He blesses us in serving in the Field of the Lord - Glory to God!

1. At the beginning of this month, we had great joy in our church where we and the angels from heaven rejoiced. One person who attended our church for a long time repented. We praise God for hearing our prayers and still saving human souls.

2. We have a sister from our church who works as a teacher in a kindergarten from our village. With permission from the administration of the kindergarten, we organized a children's evangelism there, where the children were given a presentation of the Gospel in a way that is understandable for small children. At the end of the lesson, all the children received gifts. We rejoice for them and pray for these children, that the Word of God will remain in their hearts and that it will bear fruit of repentance when they grow up.

3. We continue to pray in the chain prayer that we started several months ago. We pray for the end of this war in Ukraine. We continue to pray unceasingly to God who has all the power and authority in heaven and on earth. We believe that only the Lord will bring us the long-awaited peace.

4. Thanksgiving:

- I always thank God for you for being our partners in serving here for God. And together we are a great blessing in this ministry in God's Vineyard, which the Lord will appreciate.

- I thank the Lord for the answered prayers this past month. The Lord wonderfully answered our prayers and wonderfully blessed our ministry, Glory to Him.

5. Prayer requests:

- We will continue to pray for the end of this war in Ukraine. Prays unceasingly for the long-awaited peace to come to Ukraine.

- Pray for me too, that the Lord will bless me and give me the Power of the Holy Spirit for the ministry that I do here.

To all our partners from the USA with the PIEI mission, who serve here in Ukraine with us, from our family we wish much health, joy in Christ and peace in your hearts. May the Lord bless you abundantly. Thank you for your prayers for us, for your material and spiritual support. We love you and pray for you.

Sunday school`s ministry

Dear brothers and sisters, we greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ. I praise God for giving us the opportunity to live a blessed month, when we saw the support and help of our Lord in the ministry of evangelism.

1. At the beginning of the month, we had a funeral service in one unbelieving family. We agreed to do this service because we had the opportunity to evangelize the Holy Gospel to people who do not know God, who have not yet heard the Word of the True Gospel.

2. Every Sunday, after lunch, we gather for fellowship in the house of prayer from Vanchikautsi. We hold a service there, and praise God that one woman from this village (Anna), who has been visiting us for a long time, repented. The Lord will do miracles in our time and people repent - Glory to God!

3. At the end of the month, we had a children's evangelism with children from the village. Although it was a very rainy day, about 70 children came to this meeting. We are very happy that children come to these meetings to listen to the Word of God. At the end of this meeting, all the children received one gift.

- We visited, together with our children from Sunday school, the church from Marshenci. The children had a prepared program of poems and songs for praise, and our ministers also preached from the Word of God. I am glad that unbelievers were also at this evangelization in Marshenci who listened attentively to the Word of God.

4. Thanksgiving

- I am grateful to God for the good opportunities that He gave us to evangelize the Holy Word this month.

- We pray for all people, adults and children, who have listened to the Word of God this month, that the Lord will test their hearts for repentance.

1. This month we celebrated the feast of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. At this evangelism, both youth and children participated in the glorification, as well as everyone who wanted to glorify the Lord.

We pray for these people that the Lord will test their hearts for repentance.

Evangelism with sister`s choir from Chernovtsy

- Dear brothers and sisters from the USA - our partners in evangelism here in Ukraine, we greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are grateful to the Lord that, by His grace, we have lived another blessed month with blessed events through which the Name of the Lord was glorified - Glory to God!

1. On the first day of March, our sisters from the church had a day of fasting and prayer, together with all the sisters from Ukraine, on the topic "The unity of Christians is strength and hope." The sisters prayed for peace in Ukraine, for the wisdom of the president and all the leaders of our country, and for other prayer needs. At the end of this meeting, they collected donations in the form of money and sent them to the union of our Baptist sisters for those in need.

2. In our church, I organized evangelism and invited a sister choir from Chernovtsy, where they glorified the Lord through singing in the Ukrainian language. That is why we invited those immigrants who live in our village to this evangelization. There were also unbelieving people from the village at this evangelization. All of us together with them glorified God, prayed and listened to the Word of God.

3. We had a funeral. One brother from the church passed away in eternity. And we had 2 services before the funeral, and on the third day there was the funeral of this brother. The Word of God was preached, and on the day of the funeral, relatives and friends of this family came and listened to the Word of God and the singing of our choir. This service was also like an evangelization for the good news of the Gospel to these people who were there. We pray for them.

4. Thanksgiving:

- We thank the Lord for the wonderful opportunities to evangelize the Gospel this month.

- We thank God for you, dear brothers and sisters from the USA, who serve God with us here in Ukraine, helping us financially and supporting us in your prayers.

- We thank God for protecting our region where we live from enemy missiles and we can peacefully serve God here by helping people in need and sowing the Word of Grace in the hearts of people.

5. Prayer needs:

- Let us continually pray for our country Ukraine, so that this war that has brought so much grief would end.

- Pray with us for all those people who have heard the gospel of the Word of God this month, so that the Lord would test their hearts for repentance.

- Pray for me and my family so that the Lord would strengthen us for His service.

And to all our partners from the PIEI America mission, we sincerely thank you for your prayers for us, for your sponsorship, which helps us a lot so that we can serve God here in Ukraine, in this difficult time.

Funeral service

Dear brothers and sisters from the PIEI America organization, we greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through the grace and mercy of God, we have also lived this month blessed by the Lord days.

1. Every Sunday we had guests, brothers from Romania who served in our church both with sermons and in the programs of praise through singing. I am glad that people from the world came to our meetings and listened to the Word of God.

2. Even greater joy for our church was because the Lord heard our prayers. One man repented for whom our church had been praying for a long time. He often attended our meetings and his wife, who is our sister believer, told us that a change for the better occurred in him after attending the service and after reading the Gospel. For this we praise and thank God, because only He has the power to change people's hearts and lives.

3. There was also a funeral service in the village of Vanchikovtsi. Marina, the daughter of Sister Zina, who was paralyzed, died and the PIEI mission helped Sister Zina a lot for many years. And now Marina, the daughter of Sister Zina, suffered from cancer and died. Her 2 daughters, Pasha and Nadya, repented and married believers. It makes us happy that these girls, Sister Zina's granddaughters, went to the meeting, always came to our Christian camps and they repented, and now serve the Lord with their families. But we pray for the eldest daughter Nastya, that she also repent and accept Christ in her heart together with her husband and children. We preached the Word of God there and many people listened attentively to the Word.

4. Thanksgiving:

I thank the Lord for answered prayers and for the fact that He calls people to repentance. For the fact that the Lord changes the hearts of the most hardened and brings them closer to Himself.

- I thank the Lord that in our country February 24th was established as the Day of Fasting and Prayer for Ukraine, where all people will pray to God that He have mercy and give us Peace.

- I thank the Lord for you, brothers and sisters from the USA, for being our partners in ministry here in Ukraine.

5. Prayer requests:

- Pray with us for our country, for the president of Ukraine, for the presidents of other countries, that the Lord would give everyone wisdom, for their hearts are in the hands of the Lord, like streams of water. Wherever He wants to direct them. Proverbs 21:1.

- Pray for our young brothers, because brothers from other churches were taken right off the road and taken to war. So that the Lord would protect them.

- Pray for me because we are living in the last times when the minister of the church has needs for wisdom from above. So that the Lord would always give me wisdom what to say to people in different life circumstances, so that the Name of the Lord would be glorified.

Thank you brothers and sisters from the USA who serve with us here. You are a blessing to us, a support in the ministry and a great help in our ministry. We wish you the Lord's grace from heaven, peace in your souls and abundant blessings in all areas of your life.

With love to you, the Gortopan family.
