Quarantine is continued

Peace of God dear brothers and sisters from the USA!

1.Thanks:

I thank God for His mercy to us, for the Lord always blesses me with health so that I can proclaim the Word of God even in this difficult time, when again the COVID 19 pandemic is raging with us. We are again gathering in small numbers and at home, in groups. This is because after a two-week meeting the churches in the Chernivtsi region, in large numbers, many church members fell ill.

One pastor of the village church Kriva, brother Ivan Miaun, fell ill and died, and his wife, sister Larisa, is still in the hospital. the village of Mamaliga. The church was quarantined.

With God's help, we made bread-making in the house of prayer and visited with the bread-making 3 patients at home. The patients were very happy and thanked God for the fact that they could take part, together with the Church, in the bread-breaking and remembering the death and suffering of Jesus Christ.

3. Lessons with candidates for baptism:

I’m doing my homework with young candidates for baptism. Alas, we don’t only know when we will complete this work of God because of a pandemic. We thought that quarantine would end and we should be baptized in July, and we continued quarantine again until August 1. If God wants it , then we think to make baptisms at the end of August. We pray that the Lord will help us in this.

4. Prayer needs:

-Pray for God's will to end this pandemic both for you and for us. We also pray about this constantly, so that we can spend at least one week in a Christian children's day camp.

He is accused of that accident and, being innocent, he is forced to pay for that damaged bus. Only God can help him."
