Greetings brothers and sisters of the PIE mission. I am very grateful to my God, and my Lord, for His mercy and grace to me.

I thank God very much for you, brothers and sisters, USA, who help me with prayers and finances. With your prayers and resources, lately I have been able to preach the Word and help people in need of food and warmth.

Every two weeks I go with my brothers to the city of Gostomel, where 200 people are waiting for us to listen to the Word of God and receive a package of groceries. These people have never thought about God before, and now they tell me that we have brought God's love to them. In Gostomel, in a military camp, we plan to open a new missionary center, and later, the Church. This people is very attached to us, and we to them.

Last week, I, with my brother Valera Popov and some other brothers, visited a military hospital in the city of Chernivtsi, where we brought special resuscitation beds and fruit to the wounded soldiers. We visited each chamber, preached the word, and prayed for them as well. There are wounded, varying degrees of injury, and very open to God.

Recently, I preached at 2 funerals, the Word of God was preached to the people.

I visited 5 churches in our area and preached the Word to them.

At home, in our Church, we are preparing for the holiday of Christmas, the 25th, and for the new year.

I thank you for the $500 money that I received from you, I bought 1.5 tons of potatoes, we packed all this in bags, and took the borscht set to Gostomel. 3 carrots, 3 beets, 3 onions and potatoes, about 10 kg. People are very happy, it is worth seeing only their faces.
