Evangelization on the market square

Peace and grace of the Lord Jesus be with you !!!

Thanks to God's mercy, we were able to serve in the Church and our neighbors.

1. In the Church, we organized a special Easter meeting for children, they could hear the true story of Jesus' death and His Resurrection.

2. During the pre-Easter week, with the young people from the Church "House of Peace" of Pastor Gregory Pastushak, we were able to go out to the market square, where we sang about Christ crucified and risen. We spoke the word of God to people, handed out about 800 brochures, New Testaments, Christian magazines. People listened to the literature attentively. We pray for them that the word sown will bring good fruit in their life.

3. This week, Alla, along with three teachers, could be at school and teach Bible lessons in four grades, ages from 7 to 10 years. At the end, gifts and Christian literature were given to the children. The children were very attentive in the lesson, they asked many questions ... We thank God and ask Him to work in the lives of these children to save their souls ...

We also have a lot of neighboring children playing in our yard with our children, and one day before Easter, Alla gathered these children, told them the good news of salvation, and at the end they received gifts. The children were happy and joyful and listened very willingly to the Bible story ... but on the second day their parents did not allow them to listen to the story, they only played with our children, but with fear ... we pray for these children and their parents

Pray for all those who have heard the gospel that God will lead them to Jesus.

Pray for our family to continue working for the Glory of God.

We thank the Lord for your support, both spiritual and material.

May the Lord be with you in all your affairs. We pray for you.

The Popov family.

Bible lesson at school

Greetings to you all, peace to you.

With God's help and by His great mercy, this year we have the grace to serve the church and beyond.

1. This month we had a meeting for children, among them there were those who grow up in unbelieving families, a mother with her two sons was also present at the lesson. She really liked how the meeting for the children went. She also sang songs with the children, learned a verse from the Bible, and rejoiced with her children.

2. The other day there was a funeral of one brother who repented 12 years ago. For the last 4 years he was in bed with a patient. Unbelieving parents courted him. the church and I often visited their home where we held small meetings. Since he did not see, his mother read him the Bible. He prayed for his parents to repent too. We continue to pray for the bottom because they heard the Word of God more than once and their son showed them a good example of the Christian life. Many of the relatives at this funeral also heard the Good News. We also pray for them that the Lord would have mercy on them and give them repentance.

3. God opened the doors to the Gospel in one of the schools and kindergarten. Allah, together with a group of teachers, were able to teach a Bible lesson for 2 days in 8th grade. The children were from grades 1-4, they listened attentively and actively answered questions. One of the children said that Jesus was a magician because he worked miracles, of course we corrected them by telling them the truth from the Gospel. The school principal and teachers, parents thanked for the words they heard, Christian literature and gifts that the children received. The teachers also received calendars, children's Bibles, New Testaments.

We also visited a kindergarten with the same program where there were 56 children in 6 groups. They heard the Good News about Jesus Christ at their level. Teachers, educators and nannies received calendars, children's Bibles and the New Testament as a gift. Brother Andrey Petihachny together with me served as transport, carried gifts, and handed out spiritual literature for children.

Pray further for all those who these days have heard the Word of God, both children and adults, to come to the knowledge of God.

Thank you for being with us, supporting our work, spiritually and materially. May God reward you for your sacrifice to us to spread the Gospel and build up the church.

Restoring the sequences of flood

We greet you with the Love of the Lord Jesus Christ !!! With God's grace, we can work in His Church, edifying the people of God and proclaiming the Truth about Him, to those who still do not know it.

1. Last month, we in the House of Prayer began to make small repairs in the hall where we are going. Thank God for this update !!! We had to be in the House of God every day during work. We thank God for Rubin Kioresko and Andrei Petihachny for being able to make this repair and renovate this room.

2. In Novoselitsa, people's houses and their gardens were also flooded. Brother Grisha Kioresko sent two families from Chernivtsi to us ... who showed a desire to help people clean up after the flood. Brothers and sisters from Chernivtsi also their children big and small came to us to help one set from our Church. Our family and another sister from the Church also joined these families and together went to the rescue. Brothers and young men cleaned the yard from the swamp, little boys and our Timofey repaired the furniture that was in the water, then washed the pool. The sisters washed and cleaned the whole house. The water in the house was up to one meter. I brought a pump from the house to pump water and pumped out all the water from the basement. A woman lives in this House who has repented and her husband is not a believer. They were very grateful to us and God for helping them. We brought them chemicals for cleaning the house of things ... These people from Chernivtsi brought water and washing powder. The next day, this sister, Galya, who suffered from a flood, said that her husband told everyone how believers helped them in this trouble. Praise God that His Name was glorified, and we could be witnesses to Him ...

3. The other day, God put our family in the heart to make a very pleasant surprise to several families who have adopted children. These are Five Families. We visited them and brought them flowers that we grow with God's help. And we helped plant them in their flower beds. Their children were very enthusiastic about the beauty that formed after planting flowers. We also brought something tasty to the children ... We talked with them and thanked God for each other ..

4. Prayer requests:

The life of Church during quarantine

I greet you with the love of the Lord !!! May He be with you all until His Coming !!! We thank the Lord for this unique period during the quarantine.

God taught us at this time to trust Him even more without knowing what awaits us tomorrow.

1. The life of the Church is unusual from the past. To communicate with church members, we use social networks, we have a group in vibe. There we share our thoughts from the Word of God, write prayer needs, requests from the church, and others.

2. I invited our church members to visit their homes, some responded. We had a good fellowship around the Word of God, and I also suggested participating in the Lord’s evening.

3. We helped those people who were sick with entire families who could not go anywhere to buy food or medicine ... We went and brought food and medicine to these people's homes.

4. Also, we carried social packages in the Name of Jesus to some families who are poor. People thanked and praised God.

5. During quarantine, I invited every family in the church to pray at the same time every day at 19:00 and on Sundays at 10:00. Stay in fellowship, prayer, having one recommended scripture text.

6. In our family, we all read together in an organized manner with the children, prayed together, and sang together. These are unique moments when praise and worship of the Lord came from many homes of Christians.

7. God answered our prayers when we were sick, He heard us and gave us healing... When it was necessary to sell flowers, but were not able to sell on the market due to quarantine in order to have money for life ... God sent buyers home to us. Praise Him that He hears the righteous in times of distress.

8. Last Sunday, May 3, we gathered at the House of Prayer. There were about ten of us. They took part in the bread-breaking and rejoiced that Christ died for us and instead of us.

We constantly pray for you, those in the United States, that the Lord will strengthen in faith and hope and His love. We thank the Lord for you, that so far have been supported, encouragement in many ways, and an example for us, who serve the Lord in Ukraine.

May God reward you by repeatedly pouring out His Grace.

Prayer needs:

- Pray for the spiritual health of the Church.

- Pray for those who, at this time of frustration, could hear the gospel of Jesus Christ so that they would be saved.

- Pray for our families so that their hands will not fall, but be strengthened by hope in the Lord in all aspects of life.
