Dear brothers and sisters from the USA, our partners in the evangelism 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 defense in this difficult time for us in Ukraine. When enemy missiles are bombing residential buildings, hospitals, kindergartens and schools all over the country. So many victims every day and night, we only pray for those people who are going through this nightmare. "God save, God strengthen these people, protect them and protect us from this fate." All our hope is in the Lord. We all trust in Him. How can we not remember this Psalm of David every hour 90:7-8 "- A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you; Only with your eyes you will see and see the reward of the wicked. "How wonderful and merciful our Lord is to us, His children, Glory to Him forever and ever. Amen.
1. We are grateful to God that we were able to hold a meeting of the leaders of our Christian camp "Candela". We were a little worried that we would not be able to gather so many young leaders for our camp, but Glory to God that He always helps us and blesses this ministry.
- Together with the leaders, we worked out the entire camp program and I am very glad that the leaders understand the importance of this ministry. I had a Word of encouragement for them and we prayed together and asked God to bless this ministry in our camp. We will meet with the leaders again because there is still a lot of work. We pray that the Lord will help us and bless this ministry.
2. All week from June 22 to 29, we had an evangelistic crusade in our church and throughout our village. Brother Florin Pinzar came to us from Romania and we conduct such evangelism every day, where we gather people in the yard of one of our brothers and tell people about salvation. And whoever is ready to accept Christ in their hearts can pray the prayer of repentance. So we visited 10 sick women and men who prayed the prayer of repentance and 5 families where 10 or 15 neighbors gathered in the yards. Of these, 10 people prayed the prayer of repentance. We pray that these people come to our meeting and that their repentance be sincere.
- On Sunday, June 29, there will be an evangelistic service in our church, where we invited all these people. We pray that they come to our meeting.
- Such evangelism was held in 10 Romanian churches from our region. Because 10 preacher brothers from Romania came and worked all week. It was a great blessing, glory to God.
3. I visited the sick and helped one disabled brother. He is very happy that my family always helps him when he needs it. We pray for him because he has been in a wheelchair for more than 30 years. May the Lord strengthen his faith.
4. Thanksgiving
We are grateful to God and to you, our partners in evangelism here in Ukraine, for your prayers for us, for your material support that helps us to serve those in need here more.
5. Prayer requests:
- Pray with us for this terrible war in Ukraine to end. For the bombing of enemy missiles to stop. For the Lord to give wisdom to the presidents so that they stop this war. Only the Lord can bring us the long-awaited peace.
- Pray for our camp in Boyany so that the Lord blesses all the ministry that will be there.
- So that the Lord blesses the arrival of a group from the USA led by brother Cornel Stef, president of the PIEI mission. To protect them and guard them on their way to us, in the process of serving here and in the camp, and on the road to the villages where we will conduct evangelism with glasses. We believe that the Lord will bless us in this ministry.
-Pray for those people who heard the Word of God this week during home evangelism. Many of them prayed the prayer of repentance and we invited them to the house of prayer. We pray for them that this repentance was sincere.
-Pray that the Lord blesses us with health, so that we can serve God more and more zealously.
We always pray for you, dear brothers and sisters from the USA - our partners in evangelism here in Ukraine. May the Lord bless you abundantly, you and your families, your churches and your country USA. Please accept greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ from my family. We love you and pray for you.
With love to you, the Petikhachnyy Pavel & Larisa family.
