Ministry with glasses

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

1. I always thank the Lord for you, our dear brothers and sisters, for everything you do for Ukraine and for us ministers in the Lord's Field.

- This month we had this joy to meet with a group from the USA and Romania led by brother Cornel Stef, president of the misiunii PIEI, and serve together in the church from Fagadau, where I serve. I was glad that many unbelievers came to receive glasses from nurse Debby Conry, but I was also glad that they underwent soul care from brothers from Romania and the USA. There were 2 groups of soul care. Brother pastor Daniel Petruts and brother Marius Chilau from Romania, as well as brother Cornel and brother Gabriel from the USA. Many of these people prayed the prayer of repentance - glory to God.

2. I was also happy about the week of Christian camp in Boyany. Glory to God that 35 children in this camp repented. We thank God for brother David Beckwith, who taught lessons on God's love for us, for brother Pavel Petihachny who taught the Epistles of St. Paul to the Philippians, and also for Tanya who taught the teenagers the Epistles of James. Everyone really liked this camp. Many thanks to all the brothers and sisters from the USA who sponsored this camp.

3. This week, from Wednesday, I was admitted to the hospital for surgery. They replaced the bone in my leg. This surgery was performed on Thursday. Thank you to everyone who prayed for me. Glory to God for all His mercy to me. I will still be on rehabilitation for 2 weeks.

Continue to pray for me so that the Lord blesses me with health and so that I can continue to work in the Lord's Field.

- I always pray for you, brothers and sisters from the USA, and I always thank the Lord for you, who support us in our service for the Lord here where we are. We wish you good health, peace, success in everything, and that the Lord returns to you a hundredfold blessings from heaven.

- Continue to pray for Ukraine and that the Lord will help us further in everything. So that the long-awaited peace will come to our Ukraine.

- Pray that the Lord will heal me so that I can continue to serve the Lord.

May the peace and grace of God be with you all, Amen.

With love to you, the Preutes family.

Gospel at gas station

God’s blessings to all the workers of the PIE mission. We live in hard times, bombings day and night. The war has been going on for three and a half years and Russia continues to kill Ukrainians. We as missionaries pray for peace and revival in Ukraine.

In the first photo I met Igor at a gas station, we talked about the war, he and his family were at an evangelism a couple of years ago and everyone remembers what they heard. Their son often came to services and participated in singing, but now he doesn't go. I invited them to our church.

In the second photo I met Alina, the granddaughter of our sister from the church, and told her the gospel. I prayed for her and her family.

Please pray about these people, they need Christ.

I thank the PIE mission for all your help. God bless you all.

Children are hiding from the military

God’s blessings to all the workers of the PIE mission. We live in hard times, bombings day and night

I met Ivan, he told me that his daughter and her husband don't have a job, they are hiding from the military. He used to go to church but now he has gone to the world. I reminded him of the gospel and invited him to church.

In the second photo I talked to Evgenia, she goes to the Orthodox Church and doesn't know God any other way. Her husband died 2 years ago and all the children have moved to different countries. She says to pray for me, I am in trouble and don't know where to go. I prayed for her and blessed her.

Please pray about these people, they need Christ.

I thank the PIE mission for all your help. God bless you all.

Priest-robber

God’s blessings to all the workers of the PIE mission. During this war, many people have fear.

In the first picture is Nadezhda, she is more than 80, and she lives close to the orthodox church. Sometimes she attended our services at church. She told that their Orthodox priest stole icons from their church, and now she is frustrated of it. I shared the Gospel with her.

In the second picture is Mihai who is 75. His parents were Christians, and they died a long time ago. We told about the life of Jesus and I invited him to church.

Please pray about these people, they need Christ.

I thank the PIE mission for all your help. God bless you all.

Witch is going to Christ

Peace and grace to all missionaries, may God's love accompany us.

Because of the war, the streets are empty, many people have gone abroad.

In the first photo, I am with Sergey in the drugstore. He was buying medicine for himself and his wife who is paralyzed at home... their children are all abroad. I talked to him about illnesses of the body and soul, about medicines for the body and for the soul. I encouraged him to read the Bible with his wife. I prayed for their family.

In the second photo, near the store, I met Anna, she used to be a fortune teller. Many people went to her to find out the future. I met her before and asked her to read the Bible. Now she said that she has already read 4 gospels. She asked a couple of questions about faith and people who do not seek God.

Pray for these families, for our villages where I serve.

I thank the PIE mission for all your help. God bless you all.

People move from God

Peace and grace to all missionaries of the PIEI mission.

We live in terrible times, people are moving away from God, no one is looking for God.

The other day I went into a pharmacy to buy medicine for a man who has been sick for a long time and I help him. I saw a saleswoman, my distant relative Olesya. We talked about war and life and she asked what God says about war, why everyone fights and kills each other. You are also a pastor and know God better.

I answered her from the Holy Scriptures. She asked about hell and life after death, as well as the difference between Orthodox and Baptists. I encouraged her to read the Word of God more and come to our church to know God more. I also prayed for her.

In the second photo, I saw mother Vera and daughter Albina on the road who were selling radishes. They told me about their son Gyordy who has kidney problems, he is over 50 years old, he needs new kidneys. They are Orthodox and observe all the holidays, but I asked what exactly do you celebrate on the day of the Virgin Mary, they answered that they do not know, it is just customary. I told them about Mary from the Bible. I prayed for them and invited them to church.

Pray for these families, for our villages where I serve.

I thank the PIE mission for all your help. God bless you all.

They need Jesus

I greet you with Easter holidays. Our streets are empty, I rarely meet people.

I saw Marcel at home and went to his fence. We started talking. He said that he was bored and had no one to talk to. He asked why we live in such difficult times. I gave him many answers from the Bible. I told him about the path to God.

In another photo, I had the opportunity to talk with Antonina and Vera. They are widows. I once talked to Vera and asked her to read the Bible. Now she understands that the Orthodox Church teaches traditions but not the truth. I told them my testimony. She was surprised how I could leave the world and sin and go to God.

Prayer requests:

• Let's pray for peace in Ukraine and for revival.

• Pray for these families, for our villages where I serve.

I thank the PIE mission for all your help. God bless you all.

Anatoly is afraid to go outside

Peace and grace to all missionaries. We pray for peace in Ukraine. People are very scared, dying without purpose.

In the first photo I met Anatoly, we started talking. He says that he is afraid to go outside so that he won't be taken to war. He asked what the Bible says about war. I read him several passages from the Scripture. Recently, a man was taken from his work. I told him the Gospel. Read the Bible and pray. With these words, we parted.

In the second photo, Claudia was seeing her son off. We talked about different topics. She remembered how long ago she heard that I repented and thought that I would soon start sinning again and would not be able to be a believer. She says that she sees a big difference between us, believers and non-believers. I prayed for her.

Pray for these families, for our villages where I serve.

I thank the PIE mission for all your help. God bless you all.

Gospel for doctor

Peace and grace to all brothers and sisters! We pray day and night for peace in Ukraine. The war has been going on for 3 years already.

In this photo I am near the store. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I asked them about life and about spiritual state and they told me that they read the Bible and asked me several questions. They used to go with me to several evangelisms but never turned to God. I told them about the Gospel and prayed for them.

In another photo I am in Chernivtsi undergoing procedures, I am treating my legs. I told the doctor about my illnesses and how God saved me during my life. God is almighty and loving, I prayed for this doctor so that he would treat well and so that God would protect him in life. He was surprised that someone was praying for him.

Please pray for these people I met on the road for their repentance.

I thank the PIE mission for all your help. God bless you all.

God has been protecting our land for 3 years

Greetings brothers and sisters in the USA.

We are missionaries, we pray that God will give us the opportunity to communicate with people and evangelize them. We live in difficult times. Although religion is free in our country, people do not seek God. When I meet people, I ask them spiritual questions. God has been protecting our land for 3 years, what prevents you from believing in God?

In this photo, I am with the family Vitaliy and Marina in the village of Vovchinets. His mother is a believer. He once repented with her. But then his friends laughed at him for becoming a believer, and he stopped attending services. We talked about spiritual topics and I invited them to church.

In another photo, I am with Alexey, we are brothers and childhood friends, we could remember a lot about how we played together, I inspired him to come to Christ.

Please pray for these people I met on the road for their repentance.

I thank the PIE mission for all your help. God bless you all.
