Blessed camp Candela

Dear brothers and sisters from the USA, our evangelistic partners here in Ukraine, we greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We are very grateful to God for His protection and guidance this month of July. This month was blessed with ministry to God both through the Christian teen camp and through the eyeglass ministries in our churches, glory to God for all.

1. We are very grateful to God for being able to host two sisters (Debbie Conry and Melodee Battenschlag) and one brother (David Beckwith) from the USA in our home, where they were able to spend three nights with us. On other days, they spent another five nights at the camp in Boyany, along with the rest of this team of eight. Praise God for the ministry of the team from the USA, who worked with all their might in the ministry both at the camp and in the churches with eyeglasses.

2. One of our daughters, Lilia, was a leader at the camp and helped on the leadership team. Her daughters attended lectures in the first group led by Brother David from the USA. Many children from unbelieving families and immigrants were there and came out to repentance on Friday evening. We thank God that 40 children came out to repentance. Among them were three of my grandchildren, glory be to God. We are praying for all these children.

The children really enjoyed the camp and are very grateful to our evangelistic partners from the USA for their financial sponsorship of the camp.

3. The glasses service was also very successful, where Sister Debbie Conry examined people's eyes and gave them free glasses. On Tuesday, July 21st, people came to our church from the village of Dolzhok to get glasses. After receiving them, they also received spiritual counseling. The Philbrook family, Sten and Kristen, Laura and Ben Stef, and Pastor Cornel Stef worked with the people and proclaimed the Gospel to them, praise God. Many of these people prayed the prayer of repentance. We are praying for them.

4. On Sunday, July 26th, a team from the USA also visited the church from Dinivtsi. Our church was very happy. They had a full program. Brother Cornel preached, and the other team members told us about their ministry. Praise God for the blessed ministry of the entire team from the USA. On the morning of July 27th, we sent this team off as they left for Romania. Praise God that the entire team from the USA arrived safely at their homes. 5. Thanksgiving:

-We are grateful to God and the teams from the USA who came to serve us both at our Christian camp and in the glasses ministry.

Easter celebration for all the children in our village

Greetings with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ, dear brothers and sisters from the United States—our partners in evangelism here in Ukraine.

By the Lord's grace and love for us, we serve God in our region. He protects us from all evil during these difficult times of war in Ukraine.

1. We are glad that the Lord helped us organize a one-day Easter celebration for all the children in our village. About 60 children attended. There were Bible lessons for the children, contests with Bible questions, gifts and prizes for the children, and various games. The children were very happy. We invited them to our lessons at Sunday school, which is attached to our church.

2. We held the Lord's Supper at the church in the village of Dolzhok. I also visited a sick sister. She will soon turn 99. She was very happy that we have not forgotten her and that the sister can, together with the church, remember the suffering and death of our Lord through Holy Communion.

3. Our church continues to provide food and financial support to the church in Nedoboivtsi, which prepares meals for soldiers on the front lines. Volunteers then deliver this prepared food to the battlefields, where the soldiers wait for it to recharge. They are very grateful for this assistance.

4. We had a large outreach with brothers from Moldova. We are glad that unbelievers attended this outreach and heard God's word. We are praying for them.

5. We held two child blessing services. Two young families brought their children before God for a blessing. These were very blessed services, where everyone participated in the worship—the children, the choir, and the youth—praise be to God.

6. We are grateful to God for His protection and preservation, for blessing us in everything, and for allowing us to serve Him peacefully here in our region.

- We thank God for you, dear brothers and sisters, our partners in the gospel here in Ukraine. You are a great support to us, both in your prayers for us and financially. Thanks to you, we are able to serve people here who are currently in need, glory to God.

7. Prayer requests:

- Pray with us for the long-awaited peace to come to Ukraine.

- Pray for those who heard God's Word at evangelism, that the Lord will test their hearts for repentance.

- Continue to pray for us missionaries and for our families, that the Lord will continue to protect us from all evil and that we can serve God here peacefully and calmly.

And we pray for you, dear brothers and sisters from the USA. May God abundantly bless you, your families, your churches, and your country, the USA. Greetings from my family in the name of Jesus Christ.

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

Social Assistance

We greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ, our dear brothers and sisters, our partners in evangelism here in Ukraine.

I am very grateful to God for the first month of this New Year, for His protection and mercy to us. For the fact that we were able to serve God and proclaim His Word this month as well.

1. Every Sunday, I go to Dolzhok to serve, where there is no pastor, and I also take the people in rehabilitation from Malinovka there.

- There in Dolzhok, on January 7th, we organized an evangelism service on the theme of the Nativity of Christ. Our choir, our children, and our youth served with a wonderful program. We invited unbelievers to this evangelism service, and thank God that these people came and listened attentively to the Word of God. The youth also went door-to-door to the people of this village, Dolzhok, and performed magic, proclaiming the Nativity of the Messiah and Savior Christ. They gave everyone spiritual calendars and various spiritual brochures.

The next evening, our youth went caroling to Dynivtsi, our village. The people welcomed them warmly and thanked them for the calendars. We pray for these people who have heard the Word of God, that the Lord will test their hearts.

2. Social Assistance

Our church provided financial assistance to a pastor, Adik Khrab, who was in a car accident while driving to a service. Thank God he survived, and the church is helping his brother recover.

The church also helps soldiers at the front with food. We deliver food to Nedoboivtsi, where the main kitchen is where cooks prepare food for the soldiers defending Ukraine at the front. There are volunteers who transport this food by bus to its destination. These warriors are very grateful to our churches for this assistance.

- My wife Nadya visits sick and low-income families, bringing them milk from our cow. They are very grateful to us for this assistance. We want the Lord's name to be glorified through our good deeds, glory be to God.

Funeral services

We greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ, dear brothers and sisters from the United States, our partners in evangelism here in Ukraine.

I am grateful to the Lord for His mercy and protection in this last month of 2025. By His grace, we were able to serve God in two churches in Dynivtsi and Dolzhok.

1. Every Sunday, I take people from the Malinivka center in my van and go to the church service in Dolzhok. Many times, a group of young people comes with me to support me in this ministry, as the church there is very small and there is no pastor. We are currently preparing a Christmas program for these two churches, Dolzhok and Dynivtsi. The choir, children, and youth are preparing. We only pray for peace and for no enemy missiles.

2. Funerals.

- We have had two funerals. The mother of the pastor of the church in Marshenci, Sister Dora, died in our church. Since Brother Valeriy is a teacher at our school, the funeral procession stopped at the school gates, where all the teachers and students listened to two songs by our choir and then expressed their condolences to Brother Valeriy and his family.
