Peace of God, dear brothers and sisters from the USA!
I thank God for helping us to celebrate the holiday of Christmas and New Year-2021! Although the Pandemic is still raging in our country and since January 8, we, in Ukraine, have held Lockdown and quarantine until the end of the month, but Thank God for the fact that we have Divine Services the church is going well and we can worship God together with the church.
1.New Year.
On December 31, we celebrated the New Year 2021 in prayer, on our knees, together with the church. We thanked God for the past 2020, for blessings and trials. We asked the Lord to bless us this year. Children and young people had a good program for praising the Lord. ... We pray for those friends who attend our services that the Lord will test their hearts and give them repentance.
2.Breadbreaking:
-3 January we had a bread breaking. The first bread breaking this year. Thank God. Also I visited 3 patients at home with bread breaking. They were so happy that they took part in Holy Communion with us.
3.Christmas:
-7 January our church celebrated the Nativity of Christ in the old style. The whole village celebrates so much in our country, that's why we celebrate like that. Our youth, choir and children had a rich program for this evangelization, then they walked around the village with carols and presented all the people with spiritual calendars, Christian newspapers and other Christian brochures. We invited all these people to our services. We pray for these people that the Lord will open to them.
4. Week of Prayers:
-From the New Year our church for 8 days, every day we had 2 prayer hours and services, according to the program from the prayer calendar and various church needs. We were also attended by preachers from other churches and from Romanian and Ukrainian churches. Thank God that He blesses our church and answers our prayers.
5.Gratitude:
-Thank the Lord for his protection and care for our church.
-Always thank God for you, brothers and sisters from the USA. For helping me with your prayers and materially, and thanks to you I can serve in God's Field here in Ukraine.
-Thank the Lord for my family for the fact that He protects us and helps us in everything.
6.Prayer Needs:
-Pray that the Lord will protect us, our families and our churches in the future from this Pandemic.
-So that we can do a Christian youth camp this summer this year.
-Young girl Katerina, who repented in our camp in 2019, went to live in France, with her grandfather. She is 15 years old and will finish school there. Pray for her that her faith and love for God will not grow cold there abroad. Although she told us that she would attend our churches there, we pray for her, because her relatives are unbelievers.
- to end the war in the South East of Ukraine.
And we, too, pray for you brothers and sisters from the USA. May the Lord bless you! My family sends Christian greetings to the Dornbos family Bil and Sherina, as well as the family of Steph Cornell and Gabi.
With love to you, your brother in Christ, Pascar Alex.
