God changed life by phone talking

We warmly greet you all PIEI ministers. I am very pleased to once again write to you about God's blessings that He performs in our ministry in Ukraine. I am grateful to you for taking a direct part in our local mission. God shows by fruit that we are not trying in vain and that this work is important to Him.

1. Radio ministry

- Subject: Trust but verify (1 Cor. 13: 7). What is trust built on, and how can you win it? How can you live with someone you don't trust? How to renew attitude and trust after betrayal? If I check everything and suspect everything, then this is distrust.

- Topic: Choose life (Deut. 30:19). Due to many problems and troubles, people become disillusioned with life, give up and do not even try to fight for themselves and their place under the sun, and some even end up with their lives. But it is important to realize that not everything is as terrible as it seems to us at first glance, that when you rely on God, you see the light at the end of the tunnel and He will give you the strength to endure everything and survive in any situation.

- Topic: Where did the real men go? (Eph. 5:25). Nowadays there are many masculine women and feminine men. Women go to the army, and men go to beauty salons. Husbands refuse to fulfill their direct duties, and everything is laid on women's fragile shoulders. We have shown God's plan for the family and the role of men in marriage.

- Topic: Family Challenges (1 Thess. 4: 3-5). In our digital and modern age, there are so many temptations that destroy families. Pornography, alcoholism, gambling addiction, prostitution, materialism and the desire to get rich, jealousy and much more. How not to get lost in this and to save your family?

2. Testimony, Ivan

Ivan watched us on Facebook. He called and told us that after his long illness, his wife left him and divorced him; he was fired from his job; loans taken for a wife must be repaid; after an illness, a hormonal failure occurred in the body and he recovered to 130 kg. Ivan has despair, he is passive and just goes with the flow. We listened to him. He had not yet shared with anyone and had not talked about his troubles - it was a shame, he opened with us for the first time and, thank God, it became a little easier for him. We gave some advice to Ivan. We also talked about God - a man once attended church, but now he does not go anywhere, does not read the Bible, does not pray. During the fellowship, he prayed a prayer of repentance.

After our testimony that God is the Healer and He cured us of infertility, Ivan was no longer so categorically against attending church ... We agreed with Ivan that he would go, if possible, to the service. Ivan said goodbye with the words "Thank you for understanding me, with you I was able to open up and learn more about God"

3. Prayer requests

- A young family in a church in the city of Hertz became pregnant. We ask you to pray for the entire period of gestation so that God bless them with easy childbirth.

- For our health, so that God bless our recovery after suffering from Covid's illness.

- For our radio ministry, so that even more people listen to the programs and their hearts and destinies change.

- For holding a children's camp in Hertz, so that children can hear the Word about God.

We thank God very much for you that you are joining our ministry. We pray for you and may God bless you abundantly and reward you for your sacrifice and dedication to this cause.

With a prayer for you, missionary in Chernivtsi, Pastushak Alex

Remembrance of the cross of Christ

Grace and peace be with you brothers and sisters of the PIEI mission. I thank God for the opportunity to serve Him with the gifts that He gave me. And I sincerely thank all of you who support and pray for our ministry in Ukraine.

1. Service in the city of Hertz

As a deacon of the church, I could conduct the Breaking of Bread as a symbol of the body and blood of Jesus Christ as a sign of remembering His sacrifice on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins. Our church members always approach this ministry very seriously with an analysis of their lives and repentance before God.

2. Radio ministry

During this month we have conducted many programs in which we talk about today's problems and point unbelievers to Christ. Here is some of them:

Topic: Order in the home and in the soul (Rom. 12: 2). We do not have the opportunity to see the thoughts of people, but God knows all our thoughts. The purity of life depends on the purity of thoughts. When there is order in the head, then there will be order in words, deeds, relationships, etc.

Topic: How to get what you want? (Matthew 7: 7) We want a lot, but it’s impossible to get everything at once. How does one pray so that God will hear and give what is asked? Do you need to want the right thing or ask the right way?

Subject: Mission Impossible? (Matthew 28:19) Jesus called his disciples and all followers on a mission. We were born into this world for a reason, everything has its own purpose. To be kind and to bring goodness to the whole world is the mission of every person.

3. Fact about Ukrainian culture

In our country there is such a custom on April 1st, which is called "Fool's Day", they also say such a slogan "April 1st without trusting anyone." On this day, everyone is trying to break each other, pin up or deceive. All this is done to the extent that is permissible and for the purpose of a joke.

4. Social problem and ways to solve it

With technology and progress, temptations grow. Thus, pornography has become one of the most successful industries. This is a challenge for all men. Almost all guys watch these products one time or all the time. This is not talked about, it is not considered a problem, but in fact it is an addiction that is difficult to get rid of. Even after the wedding, married men continue to do this. Families collapse and destinies are shattered.

In our programs, we talk about temptation, family fidelity, and the sin of pornography. The wives of such husbands call us and we are helping to solve this problem.

5. Testimony

Angela

Angela called us with a question of how to get the young man back. She found out about our radio through the Internet. The girl is experiencing a loss, at this stage it is difficult for her to believe that this happened. There were already plans for the future, expectations, dreams ... The most difficult thing is precisely because there were so many expectations, and then, unexpectedly, such a turn. In the course of the conversation, Angela felt better, as she realized that the reason for the breakup was not that something was wrong with her, that she had not completed something. And fear and unwillingness to go further into relationships and build a family came from her chosen one, and as a result of this, the person left the relationship, left as best he could. Also, the girl realized that it was better this way. The consequences would be worse if she married a person who was not ready for family relationships.

6. Prayer requests:

- Please pray for Angela to accept Christ.

- Pray for our radio ministry so that we can have greater influence on unbelievers and lead them to Christ.

- Pray for the church in the town of Hertz, so that their fire in their hearts kindles even more

- Pray for our family, we have been ill with the covid-19 virus, so that our bodies recover completely

Thank you for your prayers and support, we feel it very much and may God richly bless you for your sacrifice.

With a prayer for you, missionary in Chernivtsi, Pastushak Alex

Children proclaim God

Greetings brothers and sisters of the PIEI mission. I am very pleased to write to you about our ministry in Ukraine and about God's miracles and leadership. By His grace and assistance, we can influence the public in our region.

1. Service in Hertz

We have very pleasant services, especially when the children are performing. They sing very beautifully and praise God with their children's voices and hearts. Historically, church members are mostly elderly people. Therefore, services with children are a special holiday for everyone. Also, a young couple who recently got married began to join the ministry and now praise God with us. They called me and said they really want to perform with us.

2. Radio ministry

Topic: Impossible is possible (Matthew 19:26). When we are faced with an obstacle, we give up and give up on our dreams or goals. But what is hard for us is easy for God, what is impossible for us is possible for Him. When we do God's work, nothing is impossible for us!

Theme: Meet Your Dream (Rom. 12: 2). From the New Year I will no longer smoke, from Monday I will no longer yell at my wife, start playing sports or become a different person. How many such promises do we make to ourselves, and never fulfill them? What is the reason and how to start changing for the better today? How to make your dream come true?

Topic: What will you choose? (5M 30:19) Every day we are faced with a choice of what to wear and where to go? But also God puts us before the most important choice: blessing or curse, life or death, Heaven or hell? Where will my soul go?

3. The fact about Ukrainian culture

In Ukraine there is such a custom to plunge into an ice-hole with ice water. This is done to cleanse the soul from sins and evil forces, as well as to improve health for the whole year. In every village and city on the lakes, a lot of people gather, an ice-hole is cut in the shape of a cross, a priest comes and does the procedure for purifying the water with a censer, and then people undress in 15 degrees below zero and enter the water. It is important to plunge headlong, because in the head there are the greatest sinful thoughts. Many people do this procedure with such deep spiritual considerations, but others do it just for PR or hype, then to show all friends on social networks that they are not afraid of frost.

4. Testimony of the listener

Vasiliy

Vasily has been to rehab centers for alcohol addiction 7 times. Also in the past he was a drug addict. He repented, accepted water baptism. But he did not receive freedom, he retreated, became disillusioned with the believers, and again returned to his past way of life - he drinks, smokes, beggars, even beggars from time to time. During the conversation, it turned out that he has wonderful children - adults, have families. Vasily also graduated as a lawyer. When he and I began to list all the blessings that he has, the man began to cry. He said a prayer of repentance with tears, realizing the love and mercy of God for himself, realizing that he is not an alcoholic, but a precious son of God. He thanked for the warm conversation: "I felt relieved at heart, thank you." Calling us, he asked: "Well, how will you help me?", And after consultation and prayer, he thanked very much: "you helped me a lot, I did not expect it. I believe that there will be changes in my life." In the village where he lives, there are only Jehovah's Witnesses, so we agreed to find him a contact with a minister in the district center. We also agreed to call. Vasily asked the other Linea counselors to pray for him.

The pastor of the church responded to our request to support Vasily and invite him to the services. Their church often serves in the village where Vasily lives. So far they have not been able to reach out to its residents, but our call encouraged the pastor and his wife.

We gave Vasily the contact of the pastor of the church, having phoned him again, Vasily was glad to receive the call. He thanked that we are interested and remember him, that we are fighting for his release - he endures temptations, he is very ashamed of himself, of his drinking bouts, especially in front of children (his daughter is a well-known teacher in the village, works at a school), in front of fellow villagers.

He promised to call the pastor. I was glad to learn that believers from this church often visit their village - he did not know this before and did not intersect with them. We continue to pray for Vasily and be in touch with him.

5. Post-camp meeting

Recently, mission PIEI organized the post-camp meeting in the Novoselitsa church. We remembered our camp "Candela" in Boyan, what cool time we had there. The building was full of young people. I was involved in the team and made photo and video recordings as well.

6. Prayer requests:

- For our community in Hertz, so that God bless the atmosphere between church members with love, so that those who have seen our relationship will want to join us.

- For our radio ministry, so that we can effectively influence a large audience

- For our family, so that God strengthens us to serve Him more and more

- So that God protect us from the virus and strengthen our immunity

- For the end of the war in eastern Ukraine.

- For my deacon ministry in the Chernivtsi Church

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers for us and for your financial support. May God reward you according to His generosity and riches.

With a prayer for you, missionary in Chernivtsi, Pastushak Alex

Wedding day

I send to you heartfully greeting and blessings. May God`s grace and mercy come down upon you. Thanks for your prayers, help, and support of the mission in Ukraine.

1.      Hertz ministry

We regularly visit this church where we preach, chant songs, and tell poems. The members are very hospitable and glad to see us every time. They are hungry and thirsty for the alive Bread of God.

This month we had a holiday, one young couple married, that was a great joy for all church because they are the future of our community. We greeted them with blessing words and sang songs for their family.

2.      Radio ministry

We produced many programs, here are some of them:

Topic: Google or ask for advice? (Ex.15: 22). When we need to find out something, we immediately google it. This habit replaces our fellowship and counseling with church leaders. But the problem is that there are no filters on the Internet and instead of useful information you can read so much that you don't go to church anymore.

Topic: War and Peace (Rom. 14:19). There are crises in every family, but the problem arises when they drag on for a couple of years. Quarrels become a habit and then the spouses can no longer stop. How to mend relations, end the war and achieve the signing of a truce?

Topic: Who is Christ for you? (Matthew 16:16) One day Jesus asked his disciples: for whom do people and they themselves regard Him? Some believed that He was a prophet, Elijah, John, and Peter said: You are the Christ, the Son of the living God! And who is He to you?

3.      Listener testimony

Slavik

Listening to our radio, he called to deal with himself and rehabilitate himself after a suicide attempt. A girl, a common-law wife, left him, and so he decided to commit suicide ... But, by the grace of God, when he went to the stadium to say goodbye to life, a flock of dogs appeared and began to bark, which stopped him ... Then he went away from dogs and, in another place, he wanted to say goodbye to life, but suddenly, out of nowhere, the police came (detained drug addicts) ... After all this, Slavik sobered up, and realized that it was not an accident that God Himself intervened. Slavik remembered about God, as he attended the Salvation Army as a child, and retreated as a teenager. During our conversation, we talked about how to live on, how to pass this life test. Despite the fact that Slavik believed that now there is emptiness in his life, and he did not want to do anything, it turned out that not everything is so sad, and we outlined many victories that Slavik had managed to win over the past two days, and the guy perked up, and looked differently at the present situation. We agreed that he will write down his victories and thoughts about further actions in changing his life, and will prayerfully approach any undertakings in life. We invited him to say a prayer of repentance, but the young man admitted that he was not ready now, but wanted to go to church. They recommended a church where he can turn. We continue to pray that Slavik will find real life in the Lord.

4.      Prayer needs:

• For our radio ministry to reach more people and to have more influence on their lives

• For our Hertz church may God strengthen physically and spiritually all members.

•  For my deacon ministry in the Chernivtsi Church

• For the health of my family may God protect us from diseases

I am deeply appreciated your financial and prayer support. God bless you abundantly!

Sincerely yours,

Missionary in Chernivtsi City Pastushak Alex.

Ministry in Hertz city

I send to you heartfully greeting and blessings. May God`s grace and mercy come down upon you. Thanks for your prayers, help, and support of the mission in Ukraine.

1. Service in Hertz

With God's help, I started attending a church in the city of Hertz. Every Sunday my brothers and I from our Chernivtsi church visit a small congregation in Hertz. All church members are very happy to be remembered and appreciated that they are visited with an interesting program. This is a native church for me, I came here with my father for 10 years. My wife and I sing, recite poetry and preach.

2. Radio ministry

We conducted several programs on the following topics:

Topic: How to respond to injustice? (2Sam.22: 26,27). The usual reaction is anger and resentment, but Jesus reacted very differently when He was wrongly accused. In a world full of injustice, we are deceived every day, but the Bible teaches not to revenge, but to forgive.

Topic: Happiness loves silence (Gen. 39: 2). With the development of social networks, personal life has become public, people post absolutely everything on the Internet: how they get up in the morning, what they eat, how they go to work, etc. How much do you need to open yourself to the public and where is the border of private life?

3. Listener Testimony

Ruslan

Ruslan called us with tears. He buried his mother today. Father died earlier, and now he is very lonely and so bad that he wants to go and hang himself, because he can no longer return anything. An understanding of his mistakes comes to him, the realization of how many tears he caused to his mother ... he pours out his soul to us and cries. We told him about Christ and His love for him, that He forgives absolutely everything. During our fellowship Ruslan decided to repent and dedicated his life to God. He also agreed to contact the minister, and accepted recommendations to listen to certain preachers on the Internet. He said that after communication and prayer, "his soul felt better," and he thanked us very much for helping him to remove this burden from his soul. He saw our phone on the calendar above my mother's bed. So the mother left a helping hand to her son even after death.

4. Prayer Needs:

- for families and their needs in the Hertz`s church and for their unbelieving relatives and neighbors

- for my family and wife, that God helped her to recover spiritually and physically after experiencing grief

- for our preparation for the Christmas holidays, so that many people come to the service and hear the Word of God

- for me and my ministry, so that God would give wisdom, His knowledge, and strength to carry the Good News for people

Thanks for worrying about us, for your prayers and spiritual help. God bless you and reward you a hundredfold.

Sincerely yours,

Missionary in Chernivtsi City Pastushak Alex.

God saved us from the sin of murder

I send to you heartfully greeting and blessings. May God`s grace and mercy come down upon you. Thanks for your prayers, help, and support of the mission in Ukraine.

God has given me a new responsible ministry in our church. He entrusted me with the building and caring about His Body. I was ordinated for the deacon ministry. I am thankful to God that He has called me and led me for that. I ask to pray for me that I can be devoted, faithful, and sacrificial for Jesus Christ.

We had a terrible situation and a fairly difficult temptation. That was the worst period in my life like a valley of dark death. My wife Nadia was pregnant and in the 5th month of pregnancy, the water has begun to outflow but very slowly. Day to day the water was pouring out and finally after two weeks the baby left without water at all. It was like a slow death. Doctors said that we must make an abortion because my wife might die too. But we didn’t want to kill the baby because it was still alive and we could feel its moves. On the other side, the wife`s life was in danger. I could lose her too. I could not sleep all those nights. What do I need to do? What is the best decision in such a case? There were terrible nights for us. We know that abortion is a sin before God and we don`t want to do that. But all doctors had been forcing us for that to saving the life and health of my wife. We prayed and then said to them no. Then they replied if you don’t want to make a surgery so go home and die both. We believe that only God gives life and only He can take it back. So we decided if God wants to take the baby to Himself let it be, and let He take its life back but not we. We went home and on the second day, we went back to the hospital with the contractions of pregnancy. It had started usual childbirth. God started that. It was a miracle because anybody can not have contractions in the fifth month of pregnancy. It was the answer from God that He takes a baby`s life by Himself. So He saved us from the sin of killing a baby.

During childbirth, my wife lost a lot of blood. The baby was born dead. It could not live because its body and the lungs were not ready for that. After that my wife felt bad because her level of hemoglobin decreased significantly by 60 points (norm is 120 g / l), she could die. So the doctors made the Blood Transfusion to her to save her life.

Praise the Lord that He saved my wife and she is alive. I would not overcome if they died both. It is God`s mercy for me and for Mark our son that he still has his mother.

Please, pray for our family, and especially for my wife Nadia may God strengthen her and console her heart.

Thanks for worrying about us, for your prayers and spiritual help. God bless you and reward you a hundredfold.

Sincerely yours,

Missionary in Chernivtsi City Pastushak Alex.

He turned from devil to God

Peace to you brothers and sisters in the USA. God bless you with His richness and grace.

I am grateful for your prayers and support of our ministry in Ukraine.

1. Radio broadcasts

• Topic: Invincible Faith (Heb. 11: 1). Various difficult circumstances in life take our attention away from God, this vanity and the material world carries us away and takes our heart. But how not to break down and be faithful to God to the end?

• Topic: Serving with love (Gal. 5:13). The family has many tasks and responsibilities, but the main one is to serve each other with love. Jesus came not to be served, but to serve and give His life for others. Love is not about receiving, but about giving.

• Topic: End of Darkness (Matthew 24). Now the Internet is overflowing with video warnings that next year there will be great tribulation and in seven years Christ will come. Many believers believed this and are sending these videos to each other. But is it true? When will Jesus actually come, and how will you prepare for it?

2. Testimony of the listener

Vladimir several times contacted us on our line of trust. At first, he introduced himself as Nikolai, but during the conversation, he opened up and gave his real name... The man was overcome by suicidal thoughts: "I want to kill myself, but I understand that this is a sin before God ..." Several months ago he returned from work from Africa "I am not myself": "I have sinned greatly, have departed from God and God is now mocking me." The man blamed himself for practicing the occult. He said that he had no strength for anything, he could no longer work, his soul was apathy and depression. He blamed God for giving him an alcoholic wife, "cheating" himself that his daughter did not love him and his mother did not understand that he was alone, without friends ... We, as consultants, patiently listened to him and prayed. Vladimir was surprised: "Are you not tired of listening to me? Usually, everyone speaks to me a lot, rarely does anyone listen, but you listened ... somehow unusual." When the man felt better, he managed to transfer his attention from problems to God. We talked with him that it is the devil, not God, that mocks him and that God wants his life, not death. We said that God had long since accepted his repentance, but Vladimir did not forgive himself ... Following us, he decided to repeat the prayer of repentance ... We continue to pray for this man.

3. Prayer needs:

- Pray for me and my ministry. In two weeks I will get ordination of deacon ministry in our church. May God bless me to be faithful and dedicated to Him.

- Pray for our family may God protect us from the virus.

- Pray for our ministry on the radio so that more people will learn about God and be able to accept Him and change their lives

- Pray for my wife and all our family. My wife was pregnant but now we lost our baby by premature birth. It was born and immediately died.

Thanks for your prayer and support. It is so great to be coworkers with you on God`s field and make this ministry together.

With love and prayer for you, missionary in Chernivtsi Pastushak Alex

A difficult time in Ukraine

Peace to you brothers and sisters in the USA. God bless you with His richness and grace.

I am grateful for your prayers and support of our ministry in Ukraine.

1. Radio broadcasts

• Subject: I want revenge (Rom. 12:19). We are often offended and treated unfairly, and we really want to stand up for ourselves and respond in kind. The Bible says that we should give vengeance into the hands of God so that He will intercede for us.

• Topic: What guides me? (Eph. 5:18). When we give in to feelings, we are guided by anger, envy, jealousy, etc. The Bible says that it is better to be filled with the Holy Spirit and be led by Him.

• Topic: How to survive if we are different? (Genesis 2: 18-22). Will a family in which the spouses are radically and diametrically opposed can last long? Which union is better: 100 percent identical or different people? If God pairs up, then nothing can destroy it, neither character, nor nerves, nor circumstances. The love of God covers everything and builds up a marriage for the better.

2. Fact about Ukrainian culture

Western Ukraine suffers from severe floods. Annual precipitation fell in a few weeks. It rained all day. Dykes, bridges were torn down, roads, people's houses were demolished, vegetable gardens, fields and greenhouses were flooded. The damage is impossible to calculate. Everything that people accumulated over the years and that they grew for living and selling, everything disappeared in a few hours. Now people have nowhere to live and nothing to eat. You watch the video, the footage is like from an apocalypse movie.

3. Social problem and ways to solve it

There are many people in Ukraine who live below the poverty line. Their living conditions are difficult to call human. Moreover, this pandemic and crisis have complicated the economic condition of the country, and this part of the population was left without a chance of life. They call our support line and we send them a food bag. This is a small help, but it shows them the love and care of Christians for them that we are not indifferent to their misfortune. Many become interested in the church and the issue of salvation. Thank God, there are many repentances every month. It is a good social ministry that expands the boundaries of God's kingdom.

4. Listener testimony

Valentina Nikolaevna found a brochure about our ministry, and there was our phone number. I called to ask how to pray correctly. Her husband died a year and a half ago. Only yesterday she realized that she had not forgiven him, and even did not want to go to the cemetery. This worries her very much, and she really wants to free herself from resentment. They lived with her husband for 46 years. There were many difficulties: my husband drank, was a drug addict, was ill a lot. They also buried their son. Her daughter has no device in life, the relationship between mother and daughter does not add up. Valentina Nikolaevna cannot attend the church because of the quarantine. she is over 60. She is very tired of this, she says that her faith has weakened. Our counselors held a counseling conversation with her, explained that all the past will interfere with her living in the present, that resentment will eat up her from the inside and that Jesus forgave us more than anyone on earth. She agreed to pray about this, and also forgave and released her husband. She said that the stone left my soul, it became easier to breathe. We prayed for our daughter and her relationship with her daughter. It became much easier for her. She said that she felt so bad, did not know what to do. Thank you for this service. So good that you can call and tell a stranger what is there.

5. Prayer needs:

- Pray for the health of our family, that God will save and bless us.

- Pray for our ministry on the radio so that more people will learn about God and be able to accept Him and change their lives

- Pray for my wife she is pregnant. May God bless her and a baby to grow up and born in a time and healthy.

Thanks for your prayer and support. It is so great to be coworkers with you on God`s field and make this ministry together.

God bless you all!

With love and prayer for you, missionary in Chernivtsi Pastushak Alex

Gospel through the radio in the difficult time

Greet to you all who loves God and seeks His Kingdom. God bless you with His richness and grace.

Thanks for concerned our mission for your prayers and support.

1. Radio broadcasts

• Subject: Believe in yourself (Phil. 4:13). Due to the low self-esteem and opinions of others, we may be afraid to start our own business, to prove ourselves and our inner world among others. With such a constrained and squeezed life, you will never be happy and successful. But God gives strength and frees from these complexes.

• Topic: Life is not a lottery (Eph. 4:28). In this life, nothing is simply or easily given, everyone has to pay for everything. The Bible condemns laziness and calls such people insane. "The worker is worthy of food" or who does not work, let him not eat.

• Theme: Hearing God (Er. 33: 3). Often it seems to us that God has forgotten about us and does not hear us, why should we turn to Him for this? But the problem is that we cannot hear God when He speaks. He answers us in many ways, but most through the Scriptures, if I do not read Him, then I will not receive an answer from God.

2. The fact of Ukrainian culture

The people are in fear of a coronavirus pandemic. Statistics are not reassuring, but vice versa. The number of infected does not decrease every day. In Ukraine, quarantine was extended again, and in some areas, they even increased the rigidity and requirements. People continue to die. Some churches began to gather, they thought that everything had already passed, but everyone who was in the ministry and all their households fell ill. This happened in three churches in our Chernivtsi region. People call us and tell us that they have a panic fear that they are afraid of the future, that this disease may overtake them. Some have already gone to psychologists and psychiatrists to cope with these fears.

3. Social problems and ways to solve it

Our society is very politicized. In every conversation, any Ukrainian will remember and abuse our government. All news media and print media are full of political information. People know a lot, not only for the conduct of the policies of each deputy but also for their personal lives, how many children, what their name is, what they do, how many cars and houses everyone has, etc. Dirty politics, all the quarrels, and debates associated with it only oppress and clog the soul. This very negatively affects our mood and attitude towards others. It is better to seek and fill yourself and your mind with positive information that will heal and make our life happier.

4. Listener Testimony

Vasil, Slavuta

Once he was a believer, but in his youth he went for bad company and left God. Further, problems began with the law and relatives. He was forced to leave his own city, now he settled in the town of Slavuta, Khmelnitsky region. Recently, he heard the news that his pastor and his son were riding in a minibus in the front seats and there was a severe accident where they two died. This touched his heart very much, because this pastor was his soul-guardian, constantly communicated with him and cultivated spiritually when he was still attending church. He is very attached to his pastor, and now such a loss. Vasily wondered, and where will I be if I suddenly die, like him? By chance, he heard our radio and called, opened and told the whole story. We comforted and reinforced him, explained that God was leading him to Him in this way and that he agreed to repent and renew his relationship with God. Now he attends a church in the city of Slavuta. Thank God for the return of the lost sheep!

5. Prayer needs:

- Pray for the health of our family, that God will save and bless us.

- Pray for our ministry on the radio so that more people will learn about God and be able to accept Him and change their lives

- Pray for my wife she is pregnant. May God bless her and a baby to grow up and born in a time and healthy.

Thanks for your prayer and support. It is so great to be coworkers with you on God`s field and make this ministry together.

God bless you all!

With love and prayer for you, missionary in Chernivtsi Pastushak Alex

Camp meeting

Greetings to all workers of mission PIE and all who support it. God bless you abundantly by His grace and His richness. Thanks for your prayers and concern about our ministry.

We made a meeting with children who were in the summer Christian camp of Prelipche village. Over 40 non-Christians children came to the service. We made many games, songs for them. They learned a gold verse from Bible John 3:16. They watched the cartoon about the horse “Mustang”. And then I preached them about God’s love to them and among people. They were very impressed with the meeting and would like to come again.

As usual, I visited one guy Misha who is sick on cerebral palsy. We talk with him about God and His Word. He understands everything and is close to Jesus Christ. This time we went to the parade of more than 20 robots. Most of all he liked to talk with the robot named Vania who has Artificial Intelligence. There were many interesting robots who can talk, run, play, and print some details. Also, he liked fishing and spent there a lot of time.

Every month we carry out the teenagers coffee house. A lot of people had come this time. They played games, sang Christians songs, and discuss about friendship. And then they divided into small groups and I talk with them about relationships between people and God. Jesus calls us friends and there is no more love than when you give your soul for your friend. Jesus had made that for us.

Prayer needs:

1. For non-Christian children in Prelipche village that God reveals them Himself, and they get to know Him.

2. For Misha, his health and mind, and for his sick mother.

3. For teenagers of our city may they open their hearts to God.

Thanks for your prayer and support. It is so great to be coworkers with you on God`s field and make this ministry together.

God bless you all!

With love and prayer for you, missionary in Chernivtsi Pastushak Alex
