Dear brothers and sisters, at the beginning of my report, we want to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2021!
I magnify God and am grateful to Him for the fact that in the past year, 2020, He helped me and my family to glorify Him in all the circumstances of life: both in illness and during this pandemic we were able to gather in small groups through which we evangelized unbelievers, helped sick and orphans.
1. Bible Studies:
-Taught the Gospel of Luke in the church of Nesvoi village, through which I composed many sermons about the Birth of Jesus Christ.
-25 December we had a blessed meeting with the participation of our youth, where they sang and glorified the Born Jesus the Messiah.
- I taught the Gospel of Matthew in the Zhilov church, through which I convinced this church and those unbelievers who were present that Jesus Christ is God. There were many questions from their side, but God gave me wisdom and answered them as it is written in the Scriptures.
2.Social assistance to orphans:
-Along with the church, we prepared 200 gifts for orphans who live in boarding schools, and also collected humanitarian aid for these children. After the New Year, from January 1 to January 7, we will carry and distribute them to boarding schools.
3.Pastor Regional Committee:
-Have a meeting with 23 pastors of churches from the Chernivtsi region, where they solved many important issues that arose in the churches of our region. We prayed with the brothers of the leaders for peace in Ukraine, for our believers, church members and their families to be healed of Kovid, so that again we could all gather together in our houses of prayer.
4.Thanks:
-Thank God that we were able to make 200 gifts for orphans and collect humanitarian aid for them.
-Thank that all our missionaries, throughout the whole year, were protected by God.
-Thank God for the fact that the youth of churches from the PIEI Ukraine mission helped, this year, many patients who were ill at home, provided them with everything they needed.
5.Prayer Needs:
-To the Lord help us distribute all the gifts that we have prepared for the orphans until January 7, because from January 8 we will have a lockdown quarantine in Ukraine, and we will not be able to move freely around the boarding schools due to quarantine. Thank God that we were allowed to help anyway somehow to these children.
-For our youth, so that they are protected by God from this pandemic.
-So that we, missionaries of PIEI Ukraine, have success in evangelism in 2021.
-So that the Lord will help us to hold a Christian youth camp at the end of the month of July, 2021.
Dear brothers and sisters, we always thank God for you, for your prayers and for your support for us missionaries. And we pray for you and for your churches. May the Lord bless you and your families! Once again we wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New 2021 Year!
With love to you, the Petihachny family, Pavel and Larisa.
