How to resist the arrows of the evil

Dear brothers and sisters from the PIEI Ukraine organization, I greet you with the peace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ!

1. For me, in fact, it was a special joy to visit the meeting of missionaries of the PIEI Ukraine mission, where we had an online meeting with brother Cornel Steph. There were wonderful moments, for which I thank the Lord and wish to have such meetings even more often.

2. Together with the church, we are now studying the Epistles of the Apostle Paul to the Galatians. This is a beautiful Epistle where Apostle Paul teaches us how to resist the arrows of the evil one that are directed at the Church of Christ and so that we do not add anything to the Grace of God.

3.Thanks:

-Thank the Lord that we have the Freedom of the Word of God and can proclaim It in different ways.

- I am very grateful to you, for you, brothers and sisters, for supporting us here in the ministry.

4.Prayer Needs:

-Pray that the church will be protected from false doctrines.

-Pray, together with us, for one family from our church who fell ill with Covid 19 and where the wife is still sick with leukemia, the daughter has Downa's disease, and the husband is still a non-believer.

-For me and my family, so that the Lord will save us from illness, so that we can work more on God's Field.

I, together with my family, pray for you and sincerely thank you for your material support and financial support associated with the flood. You were the only one who helped us in the losses that we had after the flood that we had last year. Thank you again you and we wish the Lord bless you, rewarding you with blessings a hundredfold.

With love, the Hortopan family.

Children ministry

Dear brothers and sisters, I greet you with peace and grace from God our Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ! I praise God for the fact that even at this time of the Pandemic, He is with His children and takes care of them every day.

1. We had, with our church, a blessed time when we gathered together for worship, for prayer, communication and study of the Word of God. Our choir, youth and children from Sunday school are always active in the ministry, preparing worship programs for ministry in the church: songs, poems and Psalms. We are happy for them and always pray that God will bless them and their ministry.

2. This month, our church collected donations and sent them to the office of the ECB in Kiev, to support the ministry in Ukraine.

3. We had a funeral. One brother died in age. Both on the pre-funeral evening and on the day of the funeral, the Word of God was preached in abundance. Many of the unbelievers who were present at this funeral listened to the Word. We pray that the Lord will touch their hearts.

4.Gratitude:

-Thank God for what gives us health and we can gather together for prayer and worship before the Lord.

-Thank the Lord and for you, brothers and sisters from the USA, who are favorable for us in serving Ukraine.

-Thank God that even during the quarantine the Word of God is preached in different circumstances and many of the unbelievers listen to the Word of Grace.

5.Prayer requests:

-Pray, together with us, for those unbelievers who listened to the Word at the funeral, that the Lord would touch their hearts.

-For the members of our church, so that we grow spiritually so that we are always ready to meet Jesus Christ.

With love, the Gortopan family.

We rejoice of the repentance

Our dear brothers and sisters, I greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ! I praise the Lord that, this month, I had a blessed time when I preached the Gospel.

Earlier this year, I visited many families from our church, and also had a good opportunity to proclaim the Word of God to unbelievers.

1. Together with our church, we organized and made social assistance in the amount of 7000 grams, and other necessary things, one family where only the wife is a believer, she is a member of our church but is seriously ill. Other members of this family are nonbelievers, but they thanked us very much for this help. We pray for this family that those unbelievers who live near it will be touched by the Word and the behavior of the Church of Christ, because we are constantly wondering about the condition of this sister, about her health problems and always come to her aid.

2. The quarantine continues in our country, but we are grateful to God that we can gather together with the church during the hours of prayer and worship of the Lord, where we have fellowship with brothers and sisters, with other people from our village who have a desire to come to church, with us, to worship. Last week, a 79-year-old woman who has been attending our church for several months repented. We rejoiced that the Lord loves, has mercy and saves those who seek Him.

3.Thanks:

-Thank God that He hears our prayers and answers us in due time.

-Thank God for the fact that we are healthy at this time and can get together for prayer and worship of the Lord.

-Thank God for you too, because you are a great help for us to serve in Ukraine.

4.Prayer Needs:

-Pray, together with us, for the sister who repented that the Lord would strengthen her because her family members are all unbelievers.

-For our church, so that the Lord will keep it from disorder and false teaching.

-For me and our servants, so that the Lord would heat up our gifts and that they would work with courage to expand His Kingdom.

-For my family, so that the Lord will save us from sickness, from sin, from falls and to work with love for Him.

We also pray for you brothers and sisters from the United States, we love you and wish the Lord bless you. We greet you with the verse from 2 Corinthians 13:11.

With love, your brothers in Christ, the Hortopan family.

Meeting 2021 on knees

Dear brothers and sisters of the PIEI organization, at the beginning of 2021 we greet you again with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ! We are very glad to glorify God for the fact that He miraculously cares for His children, blesses

our affairs and keeps us on his shoulders.

1.The last minutes of this year, 2020, we spent in the house of prayer, together with the church. Each preacher had a short word through which we expressed gratitude to the Lord and had words from the Holy Scriptures for the church to encourage each member of the church for the next 2021. Young people, teenagers and everyone who wanted to had a program of praise for the glory and praise of God, also had prayers of thanks for the past year.

2. A few days later, on Sunday, we spent the breaking of bread, together with the church, which is communion with the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. We also visited the sick of our church with the breaking of bread.

3.On January 7, we celebrated the feast of Christmas, according to the old style. Children, teenagers, youth and everyone took part in this holiday. The main Person of this holiday was the Born Messiah, Who was sent by God on this earth to be born, grow up, to show us an example a righteous life, and then so that he would die for the sins of the whole world, so that we would be saved by believing in Him and live for Him. For this service, unbelievers from our village also visited us. At the end of the service, children and youth received gifts.

4. Our church sisters had their first prayer meeting this year. And as the motto of 2021, they took the 120th Psalm of David and took the Lord as an Assistant, Protector and Guide in the year ahead of us.

Thanksgiving:
