Dear brothers and sisters from the USA, we greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ! Through the grace and mercy of our Lord we had a favorable time blessed by God, and this month.
1. At the beginning of this month, I, together with the brothers from the PIEI Ukraine mission, went to Romania, to Alba, for a conference at the invitation of our missionary brothers from the PIEI Romania mission. Our brothers from Romania received us with great love and we felt at home. We had a very good and pleasant time together with the brothers from Romania, where we studied the Word of God with brother Norm Wakefield from the USA on the topic “Equipping Men” “God’s Blueprind for the family”. Together with the brothers from Romania, we studied useful lectures from life and how we should behave like real men in this difficult time of our life. This encouraged us very much and we are grateful to God for our brothers and sisters from Romania for this invitation and hospitality on their part. May the Lord bless all our partners of the PIEI mission from Romania and the USA.
2. Our church, this month, helped with social assistance to poor families from the church, as well as in the village to people who live in need. We saw so much gratitude in the eyes of these people for these gifts, which they really needed, and they also praised God for His mercy and kindness to them. We really hope and pray for these people, that the Lord touches their hearts, so that they would know and accept Christ in their hearts.
3. We also had a district conference with a team of pastor brothers from Arad (Romania), where we received good teachings from the Word of God for our edification. These brothers were also in our church where we held 2 evangelisms, on Thursday evening and on Sunday afternoon. Glory to God.
4. We had 2 funeral services where 2 brothers in faith departed into eternity. It was a real evangelism where more than 100 unbelievers were present and listened attentively to the Word of God. We pray for these people too.
5. Thanksgiving:
- I thank the Lord for having a good opportunity to evangelize the Gospel.
- I thank the Lord for you, dear brothers and sisters from the USA, our partners in evangelism, for working together with us to spread the Word of God among people in Ukraine.
- We thank God for His protection and security, for the fact that there were no enemy missiles in our region where we live.
7. Prayer requests:
- Let us pray with faith for peace in Ukraine.
- For those who heard the Word of the Gospel this month, so that they repent.
- Pray for us, the ministers of the church, that the Lord will endow us with wisdom from above so that we can lead the ministry in the Field of the Lord.
-And to those who are our partners in ministry here in Ukraine, but live far from us, in the USA, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your activity in our ministry here in Ukraine. I know that the Lord will reward you more than our gratitude to you. I wish that the peace of God and the Blessings of the Lord would be with you every day and every hour.
With love to you, the Gortopan family.
