A fruit of the ministry

Greetings, peace and grace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ. I thank and pray to the Lord always for you, that He will strengthen you in your ministry, because you are a great blessing, support and help for us.

One man from our village named Victor was in a very difficult fall condition, depending on the addiction of alcohol and cigarettes. He visited, periodically, our church, and he decided to go to the Christian rehabilitation center, where he spent the whole of 2019. The Holy Spirit touched his soul, and he was reconciled with the Lord. Now he abides in the word of God, and every day learns to walk the path of our Lord Jesus Christ. This month, he was baptized, on December 1, at church No. 2 in Chernivtsi. We are very happy for him, and we pray for him, that the Lord will protect him from the slavery of sin, which took so many wonderful years from him.

One young family of our church brought their daughter for a blessing (the baby's name is Anastasia). For a blessing, their friends and parents of the mother of the child who did not know Christ as the Savior came to visit, therefore this service was like evangelism, where the word of our Lord was preached. A youth choir sang to the service, and the children congratulated their parents through an interesting program with their newborn daughter. The Church and I prayed for the baby, and entrusted her into the hands of the Lord.

We thank you brothers and sisters from the USA for working with us in the field of God, supporting us and praying for us. We also pray for you, and wish to be partners with you in God's work for as long as possible. We also want to congratulate you on the birthday of our Lord Jesus Christ. We wish you many blessings, peace and joy from the Lord, so that His blessing never leaves you and your families.

Prayer Needs:

1. For Victor, who received the baptism, so that the Lord will protect him from the devil.

2. For preparing for the holidays, so that as many unbelievers as possible come to hear the gospel.

3. For us servants, that the Lord will help us present the gospel in the Holy Spirit.

We love you, with respect, Mikhail Gortopan.

Evangelization of our village

Dear brothers and sisters, I salute you, peace and grace of our Lord Father and the Son of Jesus Christ be with you.

I am grateful to the Lord for all the memories of you that I keep and pray for you all with joy and love, because you are support for us in the ministry which we work with you. We live in a large village where a very large number of people live, of whom we pray, and we try to preach the gospel to them in different ways.

In our church, we organized evangelism, with the choir and with the preachers, from another church who helped us in this ministry by singing and preaching the gospel. On this Evangelization, there were our church members and unsaved souls, for whom I pray that the Holy Spirit touches their hearts.

Also, I came to visit the church of the village of Marsintsi, where I preached the word, and where we rejoiced and praised our Lord with them. Thank you for your help and support in many of our ministries.

Prayer Needs:

1. Pray for Victor, who attends our church, he is very ill, for his healing, and that through these difficulties he will repent and be reconciled with the Lord.

2. For services in our church.

3. For me, so that I can preach Christ to non-regenerated people.

Blessed be my dear ones, with respect your brother Michael Gortopan.

Donation for the family of Alex Pascar

Brothers and sisters, I salute you, peace and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. I always thank our Lord in my prayers for you. After all, you are for us great support and help in God's work in which we work. I thank God for choosing me to be a minister in the church of Christ.

 At the beginning of this month, we had a collection of donations, we collected finances for the family of Alex Pascar from Dinovtsov, who went through difficult and difficult trials. I also visited them at a church service, where I was given the opportunity to share the word of God. We prayed for them, and we continue to pray, so that through these difficulties they will draw closer and closer to the Lord.

In our church, together with my brothers, I began to study the topic: the second coming of Jesus Christ, where we learn to stay awake and be prepared to meet the Lord Jesus Christ.

 Thank you so much, for, through your help, we can be of benefit to others.

Prayer Needs:

1. Please pray for our youth, and our brothers and sisters in age, that they show brotherly love and understanding of each other.

2. For peace in Ukraine.

Conference in Romania

Our dear brothers and sisters in the Lord, we salute you, peace and grace from our Lord Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We thank the Lord for you, because you are our help, support, blessing in our service for the Lord.

For 2 days (October 25-26), together with 4 brothers, ministers, they attended a conference held in Romania, in the village of Sucevita, in the guest house of the restaurant Dagida. There was the theme of discipleship, which is very important and of great importance in the church of Christ. This conference was organized thanks to the Mission of the GDI, which was originally founded in the United States. We had very good communication with the brothers from Romania, as well as with brother Aurel who is from Alba Julia, and who is a member of the mission PIEI of Romania. Our young preachers were pleased with the conference, they heard a lot of edification, through lessons and topics, connected with apprenticeship, and I pray that our future generation will develop in practice and bear much fruit.

Also on October 27, we, with one small group from our church, visited our sister, who was 95 years old. This is such a Jubilee. We had instructive fellowship through the word of God, and chanting. My heart was very glad that there were unbelieving relatives, the son of this sister, grandson, and great-grandson, who heard the word of God through songs. I pray that the word touches them.

On this Resurrection, we helped one family financially, with Chernivtsi, who were in serious trouble.

Thank you very much, brothers and sisters from the USA, because through you a lot of services are held in Ukraine. I pray for you, that the Lord will strengthen you more and more.

Prayer Needs:

1. Pray for those who have heard the word of God that it touches them.

2. For young people, so that they depend more on the word of God than on the computer, which is so beckoning.

3. For our family.

May the Lord bless you, respectfully Gortopan Mihai.

Gospel at funeral

Greetings, peace and grace to you from God the Father and God the Son of Jesus Christ. I am grateful to the Lord for you, and I pray for you constantly so that He will protect you and help you in His service.

Service:

At the beginning of this month, I visited the sick, aged sisters and brothers from our church with bread refracted. We had a good time with them in a conversation over the word of God, which comforted and betrayed them, to live on this earth, despite their illnesses and difficulties. We prayed together, and I saw their faith in which they stand firmly, showing their love for the Lord with their lives, and this encouraged me. Also, I was at the funeral where there were a lot of unbelieving people listening to the word of God. I pray for these people that this word will grow in their hearts and change their lives, and lead them to the Lord, who has prepared heaven for those who believe in Him.

Thanks:

I thank you, brothers and sisters, from the USA for being our partners in the ministry in Ukraine. Thanks to your support, we can help many people in need.

Prayer Needs:

For people who heard the word of God, for their repentance.

For the youth of our church, so that we are firm in our service to Him.

For the ministers of our church, so that the Lord will strengthen them and give strength.

We love you, with respect, Gortopan Mihail.
