God’s peace and grace may fill your hearts and families, dear brothers and sisters. Thank the Lord, we are able to continue to serve God during raging the war in Ukraine.

We had evangelization in Hertza church. We invited the group Sion which consists from 5 men. They sang for the glory of God and encouraged us to follow Jesus. One non-Christian woman came to the service. So we pray for her, may the planted seed will grow in her heart.

Our sister Domka had grandson Bogdan on the war. Unfortunately, he died right before he supposed to come back home. She has difficult time, she is in despair and baffled, and she has many questions to God why He allowed to die him.

A couple of days ago, we had a burial service in Hertza. Our the eldest sister Lena passed away. She was almost 97 years old. Her son Andriy is a soldier, and he came recently to take care of her, but now she went to heaven. He and his family are non-Christian so we comforted them with Word of God. Also, many non-Christian neighbors were present on the funeral, who could listen the Gospel.

I with my wife Nadia were invited to the Sniatyn town to family service to share the Gospel. There were a lot of non-Christian families and refugees. I talked about the foundation of the Christian family, that without God no one family can be happy.

Prayer needs:

1. For sister Domka, may God comfort her with His grace.

2. For extended family of sister Lena may they come to Christ.

3. For families in Sniatyn may they strengthen in knowing God.

4. For my family may God protect us from bad people and results of war.

Thank you for your prayers and support. May God bless you all
