Peace of God, dear brothers and sisters from the USA!
I am grateful to God for the fact that He is performing miracles at the present time and helping us missionaries to conduct evangelistic meetings and people, now, have ceased to be afraid of the pandemic virus. Therefore, they have a desire to come to meetings and serve God with love.
1. Bible Studies:
In the church of the village of Nesvoya, I spend once a week studying the Bible. We study the epistles of the Apostle Paul to the Hebrews. Through these messages, I want to show the superiority of Christ over everyone and everything.
I gave lessons at the Bible Institute where I taught Homiletic, and through the epistles of the Apostle James taught students how to compose sermons. Every day the students had homework based on what they studied at the institute. They compiled sermons at home and on the second day they all preached shortly. In this way, we prepare new disciples for the glory of God.
2. Evangelism:
We held an evangelistic meeting at a rehabilitation center in Lukovtsy, Chernivtsi region. All the rehabilitants listened attentively to the Word of God and two of them decided to accept the Word of God and continue to stay constantly at the feet of Christ. May the Lord help them!
3.Mini evangelism:
In Chernivtsi I conducted 2 mini evangelizations, and after these evangelizations, I held the Breaking Service - these are those families who could not go to the meetings but wanted to participate in the Glorification of Christ.
4.Gratitude:
-Thank the Lord that God gives us health and we can serve people with love.
-Thank God for the fact that in all churches children are engaged in Sunday schools and young people have restored their circles. Of course, the distance and sanitary conditions are also observed due to the pandemic. We pray to God for the youth and children of our churches.
-And I am also grateful to the Lord for the fact that more non-believers who want to listen to the Word of God began to come to our churches.
5.Prayer Needs:
-Pray, together with us, for those unbelievers who visit our churches, so that they repent.
-Pray that this year our mission PIEI Ukraine will be able to hold a youth Christian camp. For the Lord to stop this Pandemic because of which we could not hold a Christian camp this year. Only the Lord can help us, because many young people called us and they call about this camp, but unfortunately, we could not hold this camp this year. We feel some kind of emptiness in our hearts, but we can not do anything without the Lord. It's all in God's hands.
-Pray for us so that we can continue to work with orphans and to help people from the war zone in Donbas.
-Pray both for me and for my family that the Lord would give us health in our work in His Field.
We are very grateful to the Lord for you, brothers and sisters, for the fact that you serve with us and we, together, are co-workers in God's Vineyard here in Ukraine. Please accept heartfelt greetings from my family. We love you and pray for you.
With love, the Petihachny family, Pavel and Larisa.
