Dear brothers and sisters, I greet you with peace and grace from God our Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ! I praise God for the fact that even at this time of the Pandemic, He is with His children and takes care of them every day.
1. We had, with our church, a blessed time when we gathered together for worship, for prayer, communication and study of the Word of God. Our choir, youth and children from Sunday school are always active in the ministry, preparing worship programs for ministry in the church: songs, poems and Psalms. We are happy for them and always pray that God will bless them and their ministry.
2. This month, our church collected donations and sent them to the office of the ECB in Kiev, to support the ministry in Ukraine.
3. We had a funeral. One brother died in age. Both on the pre-funeral evening and on the day of the funeral, the Word of God was preached in abundance. Many of the unbelievers who were present at this funeral listened to the Word. We pray that the Lord will touch their hearts.
4.Gratitude:
-Thank God for what gives us health and we can gather together for prayer and worship before the Lord.
-Thank the Lord and for you, brothers and sisters from the USA, who are favorable for us in serving Ukraine.
-Thank God that even during the quarantine the Word of God is preached in different circumstances and many of the unbelievers listen to the Word of Grace.
5.Prayer requests:
-Pray, together with us, for those unbelievers who listened to the Word at the funeral, that the Lord would touch their hearts.
-For the members of our church, so that we grow spiritually so that we are always ready to meet Jesus Christ.
-For me, so that the Lord strengthens me in the gospel and that I preach the Word in the power of the Holy Spirit.
I thank God and always pray for you. You are a good support for us in our ministry here in Ukraine. We wish you many blessings and health from our Lord Jesus Christ.
With love, the Gortopan family.
