We greet you, dear brothers and sisters, with the love of Jesus Christ!
I am grateful to God that He gives wisdom to his servants so that in all circumstances the Name of the Lord be glorified. This month, as you know, God became famous through my operation, which doctors surgeons did on February 5, in the morning. As I wrote to you before, a hernia and a cyst were found in my spine, which squeezed a nerve and gave me terrible pain in my right leg, and it was hard to walk. Praise God that He heard the prayers of my family and the prayers of all the brothers and sisters who prayed for me and for my healing. The operation was successful and now I am rehabilitating myself at home. True, I have to walk on crutches for a month, and do not sit down, but only lie and stand on my feet. Thank God the leg no longer hurts and I am grateful to the Lord for the fact that in the hospital I could testify of Jesus Christ. There was a young man with me in the room, he was Georgian by nationality (his name was Khvich) and my wife and I spoke to him about Christ. My wife Larisa has been with me all these days that I spent in the hospital (6 days in a row), and I always thank God for my beautiful wife Larisa, my dear soul mate. And now Khvicha should still be in the hospital, but we keep in touch by phone with him and pray for him.
2.Funeral in Zhilovka:
-One day before the operation, one brother Zhenya from Zhilovka calls me and says: “Brother Pavel, what should we do, are you in the hospital and we have a funeral?” (One elderly sister died, Natalya). Then I called all the brothers who live next to Zhilovka: in Belovtsy, in Sherbintsy and in Kotilev. On the second day (I had an operation) The funeral was organized blessedly, there was good evangelism! Praise God that many unbelievers of this village heard His word. Divine, And on Sunday, when I was supposed to make bread-breaking in this church, the bread-breaking was carried out by Pastor Igor Dzyadiku (our new, young, missionary from the PIEI UKRAINE mission) from Kotilevo instead of me, and he gladly responded to help.
3. A sermon in college.
-This month, the husband of my daughter Angela, Michael, participated in spiritual studies in college number 14. One of these students began attending our meetings, thank God. Pray for him.
4.Thanks:
-Thank you for your prayers, the operation was successful and after the operation I feel good.
-for young families who work in our churches, may the Lord bless them, for they are the future of the church.
-Thank you for the financial assistance that helped me in this difficult operation.
5. Prayer needs:
-Pray that God will give me complete healing through this rehabilitation, so that I can continue to work in the field of God.
- So that I can still prepare many young students for work in God's vineyard. Thanks to rehabilitation, I can stay more in word and in prayer.
Please accept my heartfelt greetings from my family. Love you and pray for you!
With respect to you, Pavel and Larisa Petihachny.
