Dear brothers and sisters, we greet you with the love and peace of Jesus Christ! I magnify the Lord because only He cares and takes care of us in this service that we do before Him here in Ukraine.
1. This month, together with our church, we held a funeral for one brother deacon at the age of 89, who lived among us as an immigrant from Irpen, Kyiv region. The Word of God was preached both at the pre-funeral service and on the second day at the brother’s funeral. Many of the unbelieving people were at this funeral and heard the Word of the Gospel preached in the power of the Holy Spirit.
2. We had evangelization with the displaced people who live among us, where one brother, an immigrant from Lugansk, a city that is under occupation, preached. He had a strong testimony along with his wife. His wife herself is from the USA but has been living in Ukraine for 33 years. At the end of this evangelization, each of the settlers received one package of food for which these people were very grateful to God and our church.
3. At the end of the month we had 2 evening evangelisms with 2 brothers from Romania. One brother preached the Word of God, and the other brother was a good singer and praised God through singing. We pray for those unbelievers who visited our church during these days of evangelization.
