Christmas days

Dear brothers and sisters, we greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ!

I praise God that we again, by His grace, have reached the last days of this past year, 2020. This year was difficult for us, but thank God that He does not leave His children even when they go through problems and difficult circumstances. I felt the hands of the Lord in the ministry this year and His blessings accompanied us every day.

We always thank God for you, dear brothers and sisters from the USA, for God's grace that was given to you in Jesus Christ, because in Him you were enriched in all directions, and you are a good testimony and blessing for us.

We had a good opportunity to preach the Gospel at a funeral. One elderly sister who had unbelieving children, relatives and neighbors, and they had such an opportunity to hear the Word of God, passed into eternity. This method is good for evagelizing people.

On December 25 we celebrated Christmas in our church. The Word was preached, rejoiced together, the children of our church had a good program. This service was broadcast online and I pray that the Lord, through His Word, will touch the hearts of people.

On the second day of the holiday of Christmas, we organized an evangelism with the children of our church and with other children from unbelieving families, where these children were taught, by our leaders, lessons about the Birth of Jesus Christ. Also, the children had games and competitions, and at the end they were treated to sweets and everyone received a gift.

Also, our church helped the poor people from our village with food. Pensioners, sick, single, poor families and believers, and unbelievers thanked God that at the end of this year they received such necessary help through the Church of Christ. So they said that the State is to us. does not help, and believers always come to the aid of poor people. We really want the Lord to be glorified through such works of mercy and that He would test the hearts of unbelievers so that they would repent.

I thank God that even if some of the members of our church went through the disease of Covid, but the Lord healed them, saved our lives and we were able to live until the end of 2020 - Thank God! I thank God for all the blessings with which He blessed us throughout this year.

Prayer Needs:

1. Let's pray that the Lord will save us in the future from problems with the Covid 19 pandemic.

2. So that we can preach the gospel of Christ on these holidays: Christmas and New Year.

3. For me, so that the Lord will strengthen me with courage in serving Him.

Dear brothers and sisters from the USA, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2021! We wish you that this year will be for you the Year of peace, health and abundant blessings from the Lord. We always pray for you.

With love, the Hortopan family.

At the beginning of the month of November, the sisters from our church united with all the Baptist sisters from all over the world in fasting and prayer and prayed for the troubles and problems through which women from all over the world are going through. We also collected donations for this purpose. Our sisters gather for prayer once a day. week in every week. They pray for the needs and deeds of the church. We have one case in our church, where there is one sister, her name is Veronica, she alone is a believer in her family, where all family members are unbelievers. And now Veronica fell seriously ill and this the disease had serious consequences for her health - her mind became clouded. She became a burden for all unbelieving members of her family. A grave condition. And so our sisters united to help this family and even help them with finances. This is a very good testimony for this family. We pray for this family.

In the middle of this month, a pastor's conference was organized in Kiev, which was broadcast online. For the pastors of our region, the conference was organized in 2 places, in churches where there is Internet. These are in Tarasovtsy and in Chernivtsi. There were good biblical instructions and trainings on the topic: "The personality of the pastor, his vocations and the responsibility that he has in the ministry of the pastor" There were very good moments where we were spiritually edified.

At the end of the month we had one blessing of a child in our church, where we prayed, together with the church, for this family and their newborn child, handing it over in the hands of Almighty God.

Gospel it the kindergarten

Dear brothers and sisters of the PIEI organization, we greet you with the grace and love of Jesus Christ!

I praise the Lord for miraculously taking care of us and blessing His work. Recently we had a funeral where the oldest sister of our church members died. This sister was a believer for over 70 years and was a good example for all of us, for neighbors and friends. We always have many unbelievers at funerals who listened to the Word of the Gospel. We pray for them that the Lord would test their hearts and give them repentance.

We have one sister in our church who works as a kindergarten teacher in our village. Already in several groups of the kindergarten, she did Bible lessons, where she showed children the most important truths about God that every child should know from an early age. At the end of the lesson, everyone , of these children, we received a gift. We will pray for this cause, for Sister Marina, so that the authorities do not prevent her from continuing these useful, Christian, Bible studies among these children. Through each business, we, as a church, wish more people from our village learned the way of Christ, the true way of life that can lead them to the Kingdom of God.

Prayer Needs:

1. Let's pray for our village that people seek the Lord.

2. For our church, so that every member of the church was active in the work that the Lord entrusted to them.

3. For me and our other preachers, so that we preach the gospel pure and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

But I am very grateful to you for being a great help and support for us in our ministry here. I wish the Lord to help you and take care of all your needs, to take care of you and always to protect you. We pray for you.

With love, your brother in Christ, Gortopan Mihai.

A day of thanksgiving

Dear brothers and sisters, I greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ. I praise the Lord for having a blessed time this month and a good occasion to proclaim the gospel to the people.

We celebrated, together with the church, a day of thanksgiving for the fruits of the earth with which the Lord blessed us this year. The Word of God was preached, hymns were sung to the Glory of the Lord, and youth and children from Sunday school had a rich program for glorifying God. Together we thanked God for His care that the Lord has for us, for the fruits that we received by His mercy. I pray that through such merciful deeds the Name of the Lord will be glorified and unbelievers seek the Lord.

We also had a funeral. One sister, a member of our church, died. She was the mother of 4 children of unbelievers. It remains for us to pray for those who survived and listened to the Word of God. So that the Lord would touch their hearts.

We had in our church the breaking of bread, a holiday dear for the children of God. We visited the sick and aged brothers and sisters. They were delighted that they had such an opportunity to remember the sufferings of Jesus Christ.

-Let us pray for the youth and children with our church that the Lord will strengthen them even more in the work of God and that he will keep them from the evil one.

-For those unbelievers who heard the Word of God, so that the Lord would touch their hearts.

-For the ministers of the church so that they are a good example for others.
