The peace of God and the Love of Jesus Christ be with you, dear brothers and sisters from the USA!
I am grateful to God that He gave me health and gave us a peaceful sky so that we could preach to people His Holy Word.
1. Feast of the Harvest:
-On September 25, together with the church, we celebrated the Feast of the Harvest - Thanksgiving Day to the Lord for all the fruits and gifts of the earth, as well as for the spiritual fruits that God blessed us this year - Glory to Him for everything. There was a very rich program where our choir participated, our youth and children from Sunday school. We had guests from Zhilovka, Forosna, and the Rehabilitation Center from Malinovka. We are also regularly visited by 3 unbelieving people from immigrants. They are from Kharkov. All these products that we collected on Thanksgiving Day, we took and distributed to the boarding school for children with cerebral palsy in Magala and also took the products to the Psychiatric Hospital in Chernivtsi. All the patients thanked and praised the Lord for the delicious products. Thank God that we were able to help these sick people.
2. Meeting of the missionaries of the PIEI Ukraine mission:
-On September 28, we missionaries of the PIEI mission had a wonderful meeting at the Emmanuel Church in Novoselitsa, where we had a wonderful conversation with our missionary brothers, prayed together for each other, prayed for our ministry here in Ukraine during this time of war, thanked God for the fact that so far the Lord has mercy and peace in us, although in other places of Ukraine a terrible evil is happening. We also thanked the Lord for all our sponsors of the PIEI mission from the USA. We prayed that the Lord would protect their families and their churches and that the Lord would give all our sponsors health and peace. Also, we discussed how best and more fruitfully to serve in this difficult time for us. Especially for the migrants who live among us. I am grateful to God for this wonderful mission and for the good team that we have in this mission.
3. Breaking bread:
-On October 2, we had Holy Communion in our church - Remembrance of the death and suffering of our Savior Jesus Christ. I also visited 3 sick people at home with Holy Communion. They were very happy with our visit, for being able, together with the church, to receive Holy Communion.
4. Visiting refugees:
-We still have many refugees whom we visit regularly. We bring them food and everything they need to live here. We pray for them, and we tell them about Christ. God grants that they understand that Christ loves them and they must repent.
5. Thanksgiving:
-I am grateful to God that we have you, brothers and sisters from the USA. You support us very much in our ministry here in Ukraine. We feel the power of your prayers for us and thanks to your help we can serve people more - Praise God!
-I am grateful to God for giving me health and I can serve people who need help.
-I am grateful to God for the fact that the Lord protects us and gives us a peaceful sky, without bombing in our Chernivtsi region.
6. Prayer requests:
-Pray with us for an end to the war in Ukraine.
-For those migrants whom I visit so that they delve into the Word of God and repent. And for those 3 refugees who visit our house of prayer so that the Lord tests their hearts for repentance.
- So that we continue to be peaceful, so that there are no bombings in Bukovina so that we can serve people in this difficult time of the war.
Our dear brothers and sisters, we also pray all the time for you and wish you all the best blessings from the Lord for you. Receive true and warm greetings from my family in the Name of Jesus Christ.
With love, your brother in Christ Pascar Alex.
