Ordination in our church

Greetings to you, dear brothers and sisters, with the love of the Lord Jesus Christ.

This is Minister Grigory Kioresko addressing you.

I thank God for His mercy and love for me and my family, and for the peace and quiet in our region of Bukovina. For this we can serve God, His Church, and people in need.

At present, I serve in two Churches, and we rejoice, and praise the Lord, we worship Him, because we have such an opportunity. There are brothers and sisters in other regions of Ukraine, where they do not have such an opportunity because of the war of Russia against our people.

At present, as before, we help refugees who live with us, and regularly go to Gostomel, where 230-250 people, grief-stricken, who were left with nothing, are constantly waiting for us. They listen to the Word, the sermon on the street, where they left that stump, clean, sweep around it, consider this place valuable, because I preached there for the first time, when they chopped wood, and now the stump was left for Grisha, to preach.

In our Church in Rakitnoye, we chose two brothers to serve as deacons. It was a very blessed service, where there were brothers from Romania and the senior Presbyter, brother Manoliy.

We celebrated the holidays both in the new and the old way.

For everything, I thank God for you, dear ones, because God blesses me, the Church and the people through you. Thank you for your prayers, for your financial support.

Please continue to pray, so that God will give me wisdom and strength to preach the Gospel, and to serve the Churches and the people of Ukraine.

Pray for my family, my two grandsons, Caleb and Eliazar, are to undergo surgery in a few days. Pray for peace in Ukraine.

With love to you, the Kioresco family.

Ministry in Gostomel

Greetings to you, dear brothers and sisters, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Your co-worker and minister, Grigory Kioresko, is addressing you.

I am very grateful to the Lord for you, who bring me in prayer before God, I feel the strength and help of the Lord.

Glory to God for helping, in this difficult time in our country, to preach His Word, for the salvation of many more people.

We, with the team, regularly go to Gostomel, to people who have nothing, and the Word of God is also alien to them, they have never listened to it, and now, problems and shortcomings lead them to God. 230 people came, and under the open sky, listened to the sermon, and then we distributed food for the body.

Currently, I serve in two Churches, and in one Church this year five souls were baptized, and in the other, one sister. God still awakens people to repentance. Together with these Churches, Rakitne and Kerstenci, we bought potatoes, and next week we will take them to Gostomel.

We are preparing for a great holiday, the Nativity of Christ, and we are glad that God has blessed us, saved our lives in our Bukovina.

In the Churches of our region, I organized the arrival of brothers from Romania and America, and for our Churches this was a great blessing, and also with them we organized a meeting with brother Valery in Novoselitsa with wives, mothers, soldiers at the front and with refugees who live in Novoselitsa near Novoselitsa, at the meeting, the brothers preached the Word and distributed food to them.

And also had a meeting with the leadership of the Baptists of the Union of Suceava, where we had talks on how we can work together and serve the Lord and the Churches and people.

I thank you for your prayers for me, for your service, for your help, it is you who are a great blessing for me and for the people I serve.

Continue to pray for the people of Gostomel, so that the word they heard would sprout and bear fruit of repentance. For our trip to them, pray that we do not come under fire.

Pray for the Churches I serve, and that God would give me the strength and wisdom for this.

For my family, my grandson Eliazar, son of Veniamin, is about to have an operation, he is 5 months old, please pray.

Once again, thank you for everything you do for me.

God bless you.

With love to you, the Kioresko family.

God gave me another Church

I thank the Lord for you, who are with us in prayer, in this spiritual struggle. I thank God for your financial support, and I can do His work, so that the Kingdom of God will expand. I thank God for peace and quiet over Bukovina, and for the fact that He uses me as His vessel to preach the Kingdom of God.

With God's help, I preached the Gospel and brought food to people in the city of Gostomel, where people joyfully listened to the Word and accepted food packages. There were 235 people the last time.

I preached to the brothers and sisters, the leaders of the children's ministry. I was invited to visit the ministers of the Suceava Baptist Union, and I had the opportunity to share with the pastors about Ukraine and everything that is being done here.

Pray that the Lord would give me wisdom, strength, in this work.

With God's help, we have had a wonderful time this past time. I thank God for you, for your support in prayer and materially. My wish is that the Lord will bless you abundantly for everything you do.

This summer, we again had our brothers from America, and again had fellowship, served in churches, preached in our churches, and organized an event to receive glasses, and communicate with patients.

In the church of the village of Rakitnoye, we had holy water baptism. Sister Lyuba, my neighbor, was baptized. She was the only one from the family who repented, but her whole family visited the House of Prayer on the day of baptism.

Together with a team from our Church, we organized and held a daytime summer camp. It was very blessed, and 130 children heard the Word of God.

We also went to Gostomel, to these people in need, and brought them food, bread and buns, and a bag of plums. And the most important thing is that I had the privilege of preaching to them. 230 people once again listened attentively to the Word of God.

Prayer needs:

• For the children who were in the camp and heard the Word of God.

• For the people of Gostomel, and for the opening of a new Church saved there in the military town, where we preached to these people and helped with food. Pray for their repentance.

With God's help, my brothers and I collected food for 250 people and again went to Gostomel, where about 235 people gathered and listened carefully to the Word of God. At the end, one young woman came to me with various questions, we talked with her for about 15 minutes, and we helped her pray, the prayer of repentance. Her name is Tatyana. She promised that she would go every Sunday to the service that was held with these people in this military town.

God also blessed my brothers and I, we attended a meeting in Irpin, where all the ministers of the regions of Ukraine gathered. A lot of issues were resolved, because in our country, something new arises every day.

Last Sunday, I had a blessed time in the Church of the village of Ropcha. There the Church chose a new, young pastor, and we ordained him and blessed him for this ministry.

Greetings dear brothers and sisters in Christ. Writing for you, Grigory Kioresko.

I am very pleased to know that you are praying for us for all the ministry that is being conducted here in Ukraine. The war is on, it’s not clear what will happen? But we, the children of God, trust in our God, and thanks to your prayers and your help, we do everything possible so that more people learn about God.

Last week we again visited people in Gostomel. After the accident, this was the first meeting with them. I was afraid that they would run away, but they were really waiting, and we met, and they listened to the Word of God. There were about 240-250 people.

Two people received the Lord there and are preparing for baptism.

In the Church in the village of Rakitnoye, one sister received the Lord. The Church is very happy, and so is Heaven.

On Tuesday, I went to Moldova and preached at a funeral. There were a lot of people listening to the sermon.

We are preparing for baptism, we have not yet agreed on a date, but thank God for His mercy.

Please continue to pray for us, we need it.

For my family, for me, so that I never remain silent, but preach the Word.

Pray for me and the team. We want to go closer to the front line to feed the soldiers and officers, therefore, pray for us.

Once again I thank the Lord for you and finish writing.

Be blessed.

With love to you, the Kioresko family.

Visiting of Italy

I warmly greet you, brothers and sisters from the PIE mission. Minister Grigory Kioresko addresses you.

I am very grateful to our Father God for His grace to me, having so many relatives and close brothers and sisters who pray, support in prayer and financially. I thank God for you, dear ones.

By the grace of God, recently I have been able to preach in several churches in our region.

I had a meeting with ministers, shepherds of the Churches of the Kelmenetsky and Sokiryansky districts, preached and answered many questions from the ministers. We live in very difficult times, many ministers are under threat of mobilization.

I had the great grace to be with my children in Italy. I visited their churches where they all serve. I was very happy for my children, because, being far away, in a foreign country, they serve God and His Church. I haven't seen them for two years. There I preached in three churches where my children serve.

I also had a meeting with the ministers and pastors of the Baptist Association of Constanta (Romania) on Saturday the 24th, and on Sunday the 25th, I preached in three Churches. Thank God for His grace.

On January 17, I had an evangelization with the Mennonite brothers in our Church in the village of Rakitnoye. There were 18 unbelievers who heard the Word of God.

Prayer requests:

• Pray, brothers and sisters, for the people from Gostomel, due to the accident, I can’t go to them now, I want the Lord to keep them together so that they don’t fall apart.

• Pray for my family that we will remain faithful to God until the end.

• For the Church in the village Rakitnoe, there are friends who go to the meeting, but do not repent. Pray for them.

• Friends... The Lord put it on my heart to take another village where there are no believers, and go there and begin work to save these people. I don’t name the area, the village, but I pray, and I ask you too, pray, the Lord knows what kind of village this is.

• Pray for my health, after the accident, the pain in my chest does not go away.

Once again, thank you for helping, and praying, and for feeling constantly nearby.

Thank God for you.

With love to you, family Kioresko.

Christmas blessings

I greet you, dear brothers and sisters, co-workers with God and with us. We live blessedly, here in Bukovina, it is peaceful, quiet, no one bothers us to rest, and no one hinders us from serving the Church and God. Thank God for this time that He gives us, a very good time for preaching the Gospel.

With God's help, we still go to Gostomel, people gather there every Sunday, in the house of prayer. At the beginning of December, we visited them on Sunday, and everyone went into the house of prayer, and after that more people gathered in this house of prayer. On December 21, we were in Gostomel, and 230 people listened to the Word of God.

And also in the church of the village of Rakitnoye, one soul, my neighbor, repented. We were very happy to see how God works. I would never have believed that she would accept the Lord. I talked to her many times and everything seemed to be useless, but suddenly she came to our home, we prayed, and in the evening she came to Church and declared repentance.

On December 25, we celebrated the birth of Christ. The children served and rejoiced with us.

We continue to pray in Church every evening (since the beginning of the war, we have been in Church every day) and see how God answers our prayers. This year, 4 souls were added to the Church.

I thank the Lord for you, dear ones, for your prayers, for your open hearts for us, for your help. Thank God for what you exist, and together we are expanding the borders of the Kingdom of God.

Brothers and sisters continue to pray for us:

• For the people in Gostomel, who heard many sermons and the Word of God, and saw how God loves them, so that they decide to give their hearts to God by repenting.

• For our Church, we plan to hold a crusade in February, we will go from house to house and tell people about God.

• Pray for me that God will grant me wisdom in ministry and in the family.

• For my family, pray that each of the children will serve God to the end.

I thank God and you for everything. God bless you.

With love to you, the Kioresko family.

Baptism in Rokitne church

I greet you, brothers and sisters, with the love of the Lord Jesus Christ. I address you, servant of Jesus Christ, Gregory Kioresko.

Through the Lord's grace, we have a wonderful opportunity in Bukovina to preach, worship God, and proclaim to people about His love.

Today, more than ever, people feel God's love. There is a war in the country, but in our region it is calm, and no one is stopping us from working in His field.

I thank God for you, brothers, sisters, PIE USA missions, for being close to us in these difficult times for Ukraine, close in prayer, and financially. With your prayers, and resources, and God's help, we work to expand the Kingdom of God.

In the Church of Rakitnoe, we had great joy because of the baptism of three souls; it is very joyful for the Church when new souls join the Body of Christ.

A children's day camp was also held, where about 120 children were present, of which 80 were children of non-believers.

He also went to people in the city of Gostomel, and preached to 250 people; they also gather there every Sunday and hold services, worship, and pray together.

I also visited 12 area churches, where I ministered baptisms in two churches, and ordination services for diaconate or pastoral ministry.

Everything is fine in the family, the children praise the Lord, preach, and stand in the gap for Christ, and for the parents, for me as a father, this is very pleasant, thank God.

Once again, thank you for your prayers, and I ask you to continue to pray:

For me, so that the Lord gives wisdom and strength in ministry, for my family, so that they, together with me, remain faithful to Him to the end.

For the awakening of our Church. Rakitnoye, so that they can bring many more sinners to repentance.

Our prayer will be for you, so that God bless you, and so that you never get tired of His field.

Stay with God.

With love to you, the Kioresko family.

Among this people, in Gostomel, we organized meetings on Sundays, service, worship of God. With men, we organize a sauna, for communication, and fishing, and with women, all sorts of events are also held. We pray that there, God, will revive His Church, and I consider it a privilege from God to participate in this blessed project.

3. Three of these repentant souls, we are preparing for baptism. On September 3, we planned a baptism in the church of the village of Rakitnoe.
