Dear brothers and sisters from the PIEI America organization, we greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through the grace and mercy of God, we have also lived this month blessed by the Lord days.
1. Every Sunday we had guests, brothers from Romania who served in our church both with sermons and in the programs of praise through singing. I am glad that people from the world came to our meetings and listened to the Word of God.
2. Even greater joy for our church was because the Lord heard our prayers. One man repented for whom our church had been praying for a long time. He often attended our meetings and his wife, who is our sister believer, told us that a change for the better occurred in him after attending the service and after reading the Gospel. For this we praise and thank God, because only He has the power to change people's hearts and lives.
3. There was also a funeral service in the village of Vanchikovtsi. Marina, the daughter of Sister Zina, who was paralyzed, died and the PIEI mission helped Sister Zina a lot for many years. And now Marina, the daughter of Sister Zina, suffered from cancer and died. Her 2 daughters, Pasha and Nadya, repented and married believers. It makes us happy that these girls, Sister Zina's granddaughters, went to the meeting, always came to our Christian camps and they repented, and now serve the Lord with their families. But we pray for the eldest daughter Nastya, that she also repent and accept Christ in her heart together with her husband and children. We preached the Word of God there and many people listened attentively to the Word.
4. Thanksgiving:
I thank the Lord for answered prayers and for the fact that He calls people to repentance. For the fact that the Lord changes the hearts of the most hardened and brings them closer to Himself.
- I thank the Lord that in our country February 24th was established as the Day of Fasting and Prayer for Ukraine, where all people will pray to God that He have mercy and give us Peace.
- I thank the Lord for you, brothers and sisters from the USA, for being our partners in ministry here in Ukraine.
5. Prayer requests:
- Pray with us for our country, for the president of Ukraine, for the presidents of other countries, that the Lord would give everyone wisdom, for their hearts are in the hands of the Lord, like streams of water. Wherever He wants to direct them. Proverbs 21:1.
- Pray for our young brothers, because brothers from other churches were taken right off the road and taken to war. So that the Lord would protect them.
- Pray for me because we are living in the last times when the minister of the church has needs for wisdom from above. So that the Lord would always give me wisdom what to say to people in different life circumstances, so that the Name of the Lord would be glorified.
Thank you brothers and sisters from the USA who serve with us here. You are a blessing to us, a support in the ministry and a great help in our ministry. We wish you the Lord's grace from heaven, peace in your souls and abundant blessings in all areas of your life.
With love to you, the Gortopan family.
