Dear brothers and sisters, we greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ! I praise and glorify God for the fact that He wonderfully cares about serving in His Field and always cares about us in different situations of our life.
1. I praise God for the fact that we live in a blessed place where we can gather freely and calmly for fellowship, for prayer and other good world events. So on March 26, we had a service in the morning and another man from Vanchikovtsy repented, who has been visiting our church with his family for a long time. His name is Andrew. Then, after dinner, we organized an evangelization where we invited brother Pavel Petikhachny and he preached. And Andreev's wife Tanya came out to repent - Thank God!
2. At the beginning of the month of April, we celebrated the Entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem. Then, a week later, on April 16, we celebrated the feast of the Resurrection of Christ. We had a blessed ministry with a special program: children's ministry, youth ministry and our church choir. We were glad that many of the unbelievers and migrants who live in our village came to worship with us.
3. On Monday, the second day of Easter, we organized an Evangelism with children. They were taught lessons about the Resurrection of our Lord available to them, to children. There were games for them, children's praises, and they spent this children's fellowship wonderfully. There were about 40 children and many of these children were from unbelieving families.
4. Thanksgiving:
-We thank the Lord for these 3 souls from the village of Vanchikivtsi who repented this month.
-I thank God for the evangelistic meetings that the Lord helped us to hold in our church.
-We thank God for you, dear brothers and sisters, for the fact that you are a great support, help and comfort for us.
5. Prayer needs:
-Pray, together with us, for these 3 souls who repented, that the Lord would strengthen their faith. Their names are: Andrei and his wife Tanya have 2 more children. Also for Peter. They are still young. They are just over 30 years old.
-Pray that this terrible war will end where so many young innocent people die.
-Pray for me too so that the Lord will strengthen me and give me wisdom both in serving in the church and in serving among the settlers.
With all my heart I thank you brothers and sisters for the fact that through your blessings, you are a great support for us, blessed help and encouragement in our ministry here, where we work in God's Vineyard.
We love you and pray for you, we also wish the Lord to bless you with abundant blessings every day and every hour of your life.
My family greets you all with a greeting: Christ is Risen! Christ is truly Risen!
With love, the Gortopan family.
