Greeting to you brothers and sisters from mission PIE. May God bless you by His generous and riches. We wish you grace, peace and favor of God. We are grateful to you for your support and prayers.
Despite the war, we continue to serve God even more diligent and zealously. Regardless the circumstances, people need Christ and the Gospel more than before.
On the first Sunday of February, we had a holly communion with our church in Hertza. All members tested themselves and concerned about their spiritual purification. We want to be ready and worthy to take bread and wine.
We visited our old sister who is sick and can not to come to the congregation. She was happy to have a service at her house. She is godliness and devoted to God. Her son is in the army, and she left alone at home.
We have a street evangelization in Chernivtsi city. We hold this ministry in different points of city. People come to us to drink a tea and cookies, to receive some literature, and to talk about a war. We show them God in these conditions and share the Gospel and invite to the House of Prayer.
We have various ministry with teenagers. Regularly we meet with them at the church of House of peace. Girls come here to pour out their problems and feelings. My wife Nadia is a counselor for them who helps them to solve physiological problems and to get closer to God.
Likewise, we have regularly meetings with teenager girls at the downtown of Chernivtsi. We have a room to gather with them and to hold some program. This meeting is organized for unbelieving teenagers. Last time there were about 10 girls. They had a food table, hot drinks, various games and spiritual topic to discuss.
Praise the Lord for such possibilities to serve people in this terrible time.
Prayer needs:
1. For our health. May God heal us completely from pain and consequences of the wounds.
2. For God give us wisdom and right words what to say to people in need and in grief.
3. For our strength to serve refugees who live among us.
4. For our listeners so that they grow spiritually through our programs and become closer to God.
5. For refugees in Chernivtsi, may they come to Christ through street evangelization.
Gratitude for your spiritual and prayer support, we feel it and that is a great blessing for us.
Missionary in Chernivtsi and Hertza Pastushak Alex.
