Humanitarian aid from different countries

Dear brothers and sisters, we greet you with grace - and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. I praise God for serving in His Field, He takes care of us every day.

1. I spent blessed days with the church when we gathered together for fellowship, for prayers and for other events. In recent weeks, almost every Sunday, there were guests from the USA and from Romania who came to Ukraine with humanitarian aid, and visit many churches. And we also had a Word of encouragement and comfort. Praise God for His Word in which we find all comfort and support in all situations.

2. Every Monday our brothers have prayer meetings, and every Thursday our sisters also meet for prayer. The main need for prayer is the difficult situation of the war in Ukraine. We go through this war and, as children of God who know the Word of God, we understand that only we need to turn to the Lord, call for help, and only expect deliverance from Him.

3. Together with brothers and sisters from the church, we visited many sick and elderly members of our church, where we had wonderful fellowship with them: we prayed, sang psalms and rejoiced in the Lord.

4. Thanksgiving:

-I praise and thank the Lord for the fact that we have brothers and sisters in the Lord everywhere who pray for our country and help with humanitarian aid.

-We thank the Lord for the fact that He hears our prayers and we can calmly gather for fellowship, for prayer and for other world events in our church.

5. Prayer needs:

-Pray together with us for Ukraine. Because rockets are already flying into the Chernivtsi region. Power plants are blowing up. They want to deprive us of electricity.

- For us believers from Ukraine, so that we do not despair, but more so that we unite to pray for the difficult situation in Ukraine, because we understand from the Word of God that only God can change these circumstances and bring victory to Ukraine.

And to you, brothers and sisters from the USA, our PIEI mission partners, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and prayer for us. I wish the Lord to protect you every day. You are a great blessing and great support for us at this difficult time. Be blessed!

With love, the Gortopan family.

Blessing of newborn

Dear brothers and sisters from the USA, we greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ! I praise the Lord for taking care of us every day and every moment of our lives.

1. I praise God for the fact that on one Sunday, at the end of the month of August, we had one guest brother from Romania in our church. He preached the Word of God and came to Ukraine with other brothers to work with our youth. They instructed them how to work with children who do not go to church. This organization is called “OAHA” and they work in other countries of the world.

2. We had a funeral of one elderly sister, 91 years old. I was glad that at this funeral there were many unbelievers who listened attentively to the Word of God.

3. A young family from our church brought their second child, who was recently born, for blessings. Together with the church, we prayed for this newborn girl and handed her over in the Hands of the Almighty God so that He would bless her.

4. For us ministers, the churches of the Chernivtsi region organized a two-day regional conference where there were brothers from Kyiv and from Romania. We received excellent instructions from 2 Corinthians 4:7-15. We received advice and instructions on how to carry us, the ministers of the church, ministry during the crisis and in the difficult time of the war.

Candela camp

Dear brothers and sisters of the PIEI organization, we greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ. I always pray for you and rejoice a lot that you are actively involved in the gospel of the Word of God in Ukraine.

1. The blessed gospel was at the beginning of August in the camp in Boyany, where there were many teenagers from our church along with their unbelieving friends. I am glad that children and teenagers come in large numbers to our Christian camps, where they can hear the Word of the Gospel. From our church, there were in the camp of our mission PIEI Ukraine “Candela”, several leaders who worked, together with other leaders, with children and teenagers from this camp - Thank God for the ministries of the leaders.

2. Also at the time when this camp was, 3 brothers from the USA and from England, led by brother Cornel Steph, had guests. Together with them, we visited the families of immigrants and believers, and non-believers. We talked with these people, proclaimed the Gospel to them, and gave them help with food so that they would have something to cook for their families. Also from this group of guest brothers, we talked with our fellow villagers whom we met along the way, or in the center of the village, where they also proclaimed the Gospel to them. Thank God for the brothers who visited us, we pray for all those people who heard the Word of God so that the Holy Spirit would work in their hearts so that they would understand everything that without Jesus Christ there is no salvation and there is no reconciliation with God the Father without Christ.

3. Thanksgiving:

-Thank the Lord that He heard our prayers for our camp from Boyany and God blessed the ministries and work of all teachers, leaders, brothers from the USA and other workers at the PIEI Ukraine mission camp, which was held in Boyany from August 1 to 6. The Lord with His Holy Spirit prompted many children to be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ-Glory to God for everything!

-We also thank God for you all the brothers and sisters from the USA, for being a great support in sponsoring our Non Stop camp and in the work of serving the migrants who have been living among us since the beginning of the war.

-Thank God for the fact that it is still calm in our area and we have freedom of speech. We can freely preach the Word of God among people and tell them about the love of Christ, as well as help people who are in great need.

4. Prayer needs:

-Pray, together with us, for those who heard the Word of God in the camp and for those to whom we proclaim the Gospel so that the Lord would test their hearts so that they would repent.

-Pray for me and my family that our ministry before God will be with love and from the bottom of our hearts.

-Pray for the Church of Christ to serve with love in this difficult time of the war in support of the settlers who live among us.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts to you brothers and sisters from the USA for the fact that in this difficult time for us you were support and support both in sponsoring our camp and in serving the settlers. We wish you clear blessings from God and may the Lord's Hand protect you from all evil.

With Love to you, the Gortopan family.

Day camp for children

Dear brothers and sisters, we greet you with the love and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ! I praise our Lord for taking care of us and helping us in all church activities.

1. Day camp for children:

-One of the main ministries in our church was a five-day children's Christian camp. In this camp, our entire church was affected in ministry. There were teachers who taught the necessary Bible lessons, other leaders did sports and games with the children, and other young sisters prepared dinners. Older sisters and brothers supported this service in prayers. Before lunch, they held classes with children, and in the afternoon they held classes with teenagers. Every day, from 80 to 100 children came. There were fewer teenagers - 40 teenagers.

Our church supported this ministry financially by collecting a sufficient amount of money - Praise God!

2. Evangelism:

-On Sunday in our church there was an evangelization with one preacher from Romania. At this evangelization there were many unbelievers who listened attentively to the Word of God. We pray for them.
