English club

Peace to all of you!

Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks to the power of God and His action, we in Novoselitsa continue to serve the church and our neighbor in the conditions of war.

1. Having united the human resource, gifts and talents, we continue to conduct various types of ministry both in the church and outside it. Especially for immigrants from Kyiv.

2. We hold many services in the church, on Wednesday there is an English club, the emphasis is on bringing visitors closer to God through the study of the Bible in English.

3. Youth service every Thursday. We study the Bible with an evangelistic character. Young people can hear about Christ the Savior.

4. We have services on Wednesdays and Sundays. These meetings, like others, are attended by many refugees. We are glad to serve them with the Word of God, and they also receive answers to exciting questions and inner feelings related to the war. We help them explain what is happening from the point of view of the Bible, directing them to God.

5. On Sunday afternoon we meet with children and their parents. Many of them are refugees. Every time about 25-30 children come, where they, together with their parents, can hear a Bible lesson, sing songs, learn Bible verses, play and enjoy the atmosphere, getting to know other children. At the end, the children go outside, and parents receive additional biblical instruction on how to draw closer to God themselves and help their children in this.

6. My brothers and I visited the military in Novoselitsa. We spoke the Word to them, prayed for them and for peace in Ukraine, sang songs and gave them humanitarian aid for their needs.

7. My family and I went to the market before Easter, where we distributed New Testaments, Christian booklets, as well as food and toys for children. We were glad that people took not only temporary things, but also the eternal Word.

One refugee woman said: “I have been looking for a New Testament for a very long time, can I take it and read it?” "What, is it really free?" asked others who wanted to receive the gospel. We praise God that we can sow the Word of God, which will bring comfort, encouragement and salvation in these days.

8. We rejoiced in the church when we learned that Zhenya, who was drafted into the army, repented a week later, and his wife turned to God a couple of days earlier, in our church, when they came to us from Kyiv. We thank God that He saves families in the conditions of war and we are witnesses to this. Zhenya was at home for one day, in the evening he came to church and we, the ministers, prayed for his faith and for returning home alive and healthy. Marina and Zhenya have a daughter, Milana, pray for this newly converted family to God.

9. Some brothers in our church are involved in the manufacture of body armor for the needs of soldiers. Along with this protection, we give them the New Testaments. We also pray for all the soldiers to return home safe and sound.

We thank God for your prayerful, financial and material support in these difficult times for Ukraine. Pray further for our diligence in the work of the Lord, and continue to support us with your ability and strength by participating with us in building the church and expanding the Kingdom of God. Pray with us for peace in Ukraine and for the reconciliation of the Ukrainian people with God.

With love to you, the Popov family!

Social aid

Peace to all of you. We thank the Lord for the opportunity to serve the church and neighbor at this difficult time for Ukraine.

I thank the Lord and you for being with us in prayers, thoughts and deeds. I express my special gratitude to all those who, through the PIE mission, participated in the collection and delivery of humanitarian aid for the needs of the Ukrainian people. People with different needs come to our church every day, thanks to the humanitarian aid that came to us through you, we can serve and make up for the shortcomings of refugees and those who need help.

Every Sunday many unbelievers come to our church, they can hear the gospel, get encouragement and we pray for their experiences. Also, our prayers are for the sons and fathers of those families who are fighting at the front, so that God protects and returns them home alive. The mothers of these sons thank us with tears in their eyes for these prayers.

Every Sunday afternoon, Alla and her children's team meet with refugee children. Their parents also come to these meetings. Some are listening to a Bible lesson with children, while others are conducting personal evangelism at this time. In this ministry, we are helped by the church from Kyiv, which has found temporary shelter with us.

After the Sunday morning meeting and after the children's service, all parents receive social packages, with the necessary products and things for hygiene. We also distributed mattresses, pillows, blankets to those who did not have them. Along with this, we give them the New Testaments. This is a very fruitful work to serve in expanding the kingdom of God and in supporting the church of Christ. The minister brothers and I set aside time for counseling, where we can communicate and pray with unbelievers and with all those who need spiritual, moral, psychological support.

This Saturday, a young couple from immigrants, Bogdan and Diana, got married in our church. Life goes on, families are born even during the war.

This week we helped one mother whose two sons were taken to the front. She does not have water in the house and we, as a church, helped her in this need. They also brought special shoes and food for her sons so that she could send them to the front.

Together with Grigory Kioresko, we sent two humanitarian aid beads to Kyiv for the needs of soldiers and people who are in the war zone.

Thank you all for staying with us. May God bless you all richly. Pray with us for peace in Ukraine and for the peace of people with God.

With love to you, the Popov family.

Stories of children

Peace to all of you!!

We continue to serve the Church and neighbors at this time for Ukraine.

We help refugees to move into apartments and houses of believing brothers and sisters.

Alla helps several teenagers overcome fear in the face of war. One boy named Vanya, who is 13 years old, has a fear when sirens sound at night. He stays home alone when his mom goes to work on the night shift. And he began to write that he was very scared ... we began to calm him down, we say that you need to trust God and pray to him. Also, our family prays for him and calls him to our home during the day ...

There is also a very amazing story about one girl, she is 14, her name is Stanislava.

Alla came to visit her home to talk to her parents... They changed their attitude towards believers and the Church and began to let Stanislava into the Church and her mother said: probably our meeting was not accidental...

Through brother Gregory Kioresco, we received humanitarian aid and distributed food, hygiene products, blankets, pillows, bed linen, sleeping bags, to settlers and soldiers.

We praise God for all those who donate in a special way at this time in order to share the lack with all those in need in Ukraine.

We also praise God for the opportunity to spread the Gospel together with the Church from Kyiv, who moved here in Novoselytsya because of the hostilities. We went with them to the market, where we sang Christian songs, preached the Gospel, and prayed with people for peace in Ukraine. We distributed the gospel and spiritual literature.

People listened, prayed, and accepted literature. We praise God for this opportunity to proclaim the gospel of Christ.

On Wednesday we organized a youth meeting where we invited young refugees who do not know the Lord and they were preached about Christ. Thank God that now a lot of people are open to hearing the Word of God.

For two Sundays in a row, the hall of the House of Prayer was overcrowded, there were a lot of refugees, both believers and non-believers, with us. We prayed for peace in Ukraine, consoled ourselves with the Word of God, talked, got to know each other. At the end of the meeting, we distributed social packages for the needs of each of them. They thanked God and us for the gifts received and the warm welcome in the Church. They took refuge in Noselitsa from Kharkov, Kyiv, Mariupol, Sumy, Luhansk, Chernigov.

After lunch, we organized a meeting with the children and their parents of the migrants. About 40 children and 30 parents came.

Alla held a Bible lesson for them on the theme of David and Goliath. The purpose of the lesson was that we humans have enemies, but we are also enemies of God because of our sins. Also, our young people, together with the Kiev youth, held songs, games, we prayed with the children. In the end, they were blessed with gifts from the Mission Bag of the Samaritan.

One mother from Sumy said: “We are very happy that our children began to smile because from the beginning of the war they were very sad and scared.”

Another story is about a boy named Matthew, he is 10 years old. He was at this children's meeting and listened very carefully to the story ... when he came home, he told mom and dad: “you need to repent on Easter before God, because every time you sin you move away from God ...”

Pray further for us and for the refugees, for the repentance of the Ukrainian people, for peace in Ukraine.

We praise God for the entire PIE team that you are with us in these difficult times.

With love, the Popov family!

Ministry for refugees

The peace of God in Christ be with all of you PIEI partners in the USA.

By the grace of God, we lived another day in Ukraine, some are no longer there where bombs were thrown and rockets were fired at their homes that night.

Pray further with us for peace in Ukraine.

We who live in Ukraine, God protects our land of Bukovina, where not a single rocket fell during the 14 days of the war, although the danger was and is and will be until the war ends.

Despite the fear, chaos, death and hopelessness that the war brought us, we, as the Church of Christ from Novoselytsya, stood in the gap before God in prayer for all people and their needs.

In our Church, people have opened houses for refugees, there are about 50 of them.

20 people out of these 50 left one Church in Kyiv and together with them we hold joint services.

We help with everything we can, with food, things, medicines, we also distribute spiritual literature, treatises, Gospels, Bibles to the unbelievers, we pray with them that God will turn Ukraine to Christ and stop the war.

We are also preparing other houses for those who seek asylum today.

There are children among the refugees and we provide them with their needs as far as possible. Alla gives special gifts to children from Mission Samaritan's Bag and also Christian literature for children.

Alla and I went to the village of Podvirnoye, a Ukrainian village, and to the village of Stalentsy, a Romanian village. There, Alla conducted Bible courses with children in peacetime and now they brought them gifts, we prayed with them, reassured them and instructed them to seek God from childhood.

We are very glad that God touches people's hearts at this time. One family from the Kiev refugees, were parishioners in the Kiev Church, they ended up with us along with those 20 believers.

They very often gather in our Church… and they had free communication around the word of God… then Shepherd Gela asked who had any evidence during these days.. they shared… then the Shepherd asked: well, what else are we going to do? And then one little boy named Timothy told him 4 years old:: let's repent!!! And everyone was surprised at his words, and my wife Alla remembered and said that the other day she had heard a verse written by one sister ... and there were such words: everyone prays but no one repents .... And after that, only one young woman Marina showed a desire to repent ... Shepherd Gela and deacon Alexei called me, that is, (Valera) and we prayed over her ... everyone was very happy and glorified God ... also my wife gave them tulips and all the women gave this Marina ... Glory God for the miracles that are happening in this difficult hour.

And this Marina asked for forgiveness from God for neglecting His call earlier when she was teaching according to the Bible and there was a question:: Do you want to dedicate yourself to God??? …and now she did it….

We are now in the House of Prayer meeting with all the Refugees who wish to worship God with us. The House of Prayer has become a home of refuge for many people from Ukraine.

Our family had very big worries about the sale of flowers on March 8 ... we did not know if we could sell, to whom these flowers would be needed, or even if there would be people before the flowers during the war ... But God is our merciful God.!!! But our whole Church and these refugees from Kyiv prayed very much for us and even helped to pack the flowers… Thank God we were able to sell the flowers and repay the debts that we had… it’s true that we had to give flowers cheaper, but the main thing is that we sold them and were able to repay the debt… of course left without earnings, but with a calm soul ...

Thanks for the financial help!!!

With this money, we were able to prepare other houses by installing water and heat in them and supplying them with energy in order for people living in the area to live ...

Paid for gas and electricity.

We bought Gasoline for Transport and medicines.

Thank you very much for being with us at this time and your hearts were opened to serve the Church and the needs of Ukrainians.

We still need your prayers and financial assistance to cover the needs of people..

Pray for us, because we are tired and we need your prayer support so that God will give strength to serve these people at this time.

With Love to you, the Popov family.

Children meetings

I greet you with the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ!!!

Through God's grace, we in Bukovina continue to serve the Lord and His people. By transmitting the Word of God, which enlightens every person who hears Him.

1. In the church on feast days we had listeners from the world. They could hear the Word about Christ that He became incarnate for the sake of saving people from future anger, sin, delusion. And also from the power of Satan. The young of our Church and the children had a program of glorification of the Lord God who sent the Savior into the world.

2. We also participated with the Church in supporting one sister from our Church. This sister developed gangrene in her leg and had to undergo 3 surgeries in the hospital. The Church raised funds for this sister Korina. Supported by her morally, spiritually and financially ... Korina has a daughter of 12 years old and she must raise her up.

3. There were meetings for children and teenagers on the Christmas theme... We listened to the Bible story, learned Bible verses, sang songs, talked... In total there were 22 children... We praise God for them!!!

4. My children Timothy, Eunice and Avigaea and I made several hundred packages with calendars and spiritual booklets. And they handed out these packages along the streets of Novoselitsi, handed them out to hundreds of houses. We pray to God to encourage people to read and know God through the Gospel. Also, our children handed out Christian calendars to their teachers at school.

-Pray for all our needs, both spiritual and material.

- Pray for my brother, his name is Anatoly, he fell ill very badly, so that God would give him healing and salvation, because he and his family did not reconcile with the Lord.

-Pray for the ministry with children and teenagers that my wife leads with other sisters in Novoselitsa and in the village of Podvirnoe and in the village of Stalnovtsy. May the Holy Spirit work in the hearts of these children for the salvation of their souls.

- Pray for one girl Stanislava, she is 14 years old, she was in our summer camp in Novoselitsa, we also brought her to evening programs in Boyany in the summer. my parents don't really want to let me go to the Church for the meeting ... my wife often communicates with her and pray for her .... to confirm her faith and help her go through this path to the end with God.

I thank God for you in my prayers, because you are partners for us in the edification and growth of the Church. May God fill your life with His varied grace.

With love Popov Family!!!!

Renewal evening

I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ !!! Peace to you!!!

With God's help, we work in His field.

1. In the Church we organize meetings for teenagers and children. Most of the children come from unbelieving families. On December 25, Alla and the young people from our church are organizing a Christmas program for them.

2. I had three Evangelistic sermons at a funeral. Two were in the town of Novoselitsa and one in the village of Zhilovka. They buried my wife's grandmother. There were about 70 people, they could hear the word about Reconciliation with God.

We pray for them to make a decision about choosing Christ for their life as Savior.

3. My wife Alla and another sister from the village of Dinovtsi Tamara are working with children in the village of Stalintsi and the village of Podvirnoye. There are no ministers for children in these villages. And the village has a lot of children from unbelieving families and they really want to teach Bible lessons. There are also Bible lessons with children in Viber with some children.

We pray that local Churches will become more actively interested in promoting the gospel among children.

4. God gave me the grace to speak the Word of God on the topic of "Renewal" for the district Khotyn youth. About 200 young people could hear the Word of God about walking before God in a renewed life based on Romans 12: 1-3 verses.

We pray that the youth will make a decision in favor of Bible teaching as a path for their lives.

5. We also plan to distribute a lot of Christian literature to people at Christmas so that God speaks to them on these holidays.

We thank God for you that you support us in serving people in Bukovina and in the Church, for material and spiritual help. May the Lord reward you according to His great grace. Be Blessed !!!

Sincerely, the Popov family !!! 🤗🤗🤗

From 12 to 17 July, a day camp for children and adolescents was held in our Church. By God's help, my wife Alla was the camp coordinator. A team of young people worked to sow the Word of God in the hearts of children. The children talked, sang Christian songs, listened to Bible lessons, learned Bible verses, played different sports games, and every day we treated them to food and various sweets ...

We organized one evening for teenagers ... one guy Oleg was a sports instructor .. he had a testimony about his family, how they came to God ...

The children were happy to be with us for these six days ... the parents of these children were very surprised that the children were very interested in going to camp every day ... and asked: what did you interest our children in because they like everything with you.

We surprised children and parents with the love of God. On the sixth day, we invited the parents to hear and see what the children learned during these days of the camp ...

I also had a word for parents and an instruction so that they continue to teach children in the Word of God ... In the end, we handed out prizes and Christian literature to children ... In total, there were 90 children in the camp. Thank God for them !!! Pray for all children and their families, that God will work in their hearts and in their lives, that they will be saved ...
