Dear brothers and sisters from the United States, our partners in evangelism here in Ukraine, we greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We are grateful to God for His protection and defence this month, from all evil and misfortune during this difficult period of war for us in Ukraine. We are grateful to God for being able to organize a charity event for orphans and widows last month, and the Lord's name was glorified among the orphans—glory to God.
1. Seminars
- Last month, with God's help, I was able to organize two seminars on the book of Ezekiel. In this seminar, we studied the book of Ezekiel with the students. The students loved this book and wanted to continue studying the book of Daniel. The students are diligently studying the book of Daniel, and if the Lord helps us, we will complete it within a month.
One student expressed his gratitude to God for the book of Daniel because the Lord reveals very important truths to us in this book. We didn't yet know how to understand such truths.
2. Camp Leaders' Meeting in Boyany.
- Twenty leaders attended this meeting, where they are preparing to organize this camp, preparing the camp program, and other important topics. Together, they also studied lessons from the Gospel of John.
3. Meeting with Brother Missionaries
- Together with the brother missionaries, we are preparing a program for evangelism during the stay of a group of brothers and sisters from the USA. We are praying for our camp in Boyany. We have also organized how best to welcome our guests from the USA. We have organized the churches where we will conduct these outreaches from July 20th to 24th. We have also decided which of our churches will host outreaches with a group of brothers and sisters from the USA on two Sundays: July 19th and July 26th.
4. Thanksgiving
- We thank the Lord for His mercy and protection to this day. Thank you for the peace and quiet here, free of missile strikes. Therefore, we can work more here in the Lord's Field.
-We always thank the Lord for you, brothers and sisters from the USA—our partners in evangelism here in Ukraine. Thank you for your prayers for us and for the financial support that helps us serve here in our mission field.
5. Prayer requests:
-Pray with us for this war, which has brought so much evil and misfortune, to end.
-Pray for peace and quiet here in Bukovina, free of missile strikes, so that we can safely hold our youth camp in Boyany.
-We pray for the group from the USA that will arrive from July 18th to July 27th to evangelize Bukovina, both at the camp and in our churches. May the Lord protect them from all evil on their journey to us, during their stay with us, and also on their return to their homes. - May the Lord's hand be upon us and protect the children who will be vacationing at our camp.
- May the Lord bless both our leaders and the teachers who will minister the Word to these children. May the Lord, by His Holy Spirit, awaken everyone to repentance.
- May the Lord grant us all health and strengthen us with zeal for this ministry.
And we pray for you, dear brothers and sisters from the USA, that the Lord bless you with health and peace from our Lord Jesus Christ. May the Lord bless you abundantly.
With love to you, the PETIKHACHNYY family, PAVEL AND LARISA.
