Ministry of the PIEI Ukraine mission for the first half of the year 2024.
1.Repentance and baptism:
-During the first half of 2024, in the churches of missionaries of the PIEI Ukraine mission, 12 souls repented and 7 of them received holy water baptism.
2.Theological Institute:
-Two missionaries from our mission taught students at the Theological Institute. One of them taught a lesson in Missiology, and the other brother missionary taught a lesson in Systematic Theology.
3.Service with orphans:
-At the beginning of January, we did a lot of evangelization with orphans and widows. There were about 200 orphans at this evangelization. We taught them Bible lessons and also gave each child Christmas gifts. The children were very happy to receive these gifts, because they know and expect that we, missionaries of the PIEI Ukraine mission, will visit them every year at this time and give such gifts. They praise and glorify our Lord for His mercy and kindness to the orphans and widows and we are glad that the Name of Jesus is glorified among the orphans and widows.
-Also, these 200 orphans are waiting for their next meeting with us on May 18 at 25 Kovelska Street, Chernivtsi, where we have prepared an Easter program for them, gifts and a delicious lunch for them. We pray that the weather will be good, calm and peaceful, without the arrival of enemy missiles.
4.Work among migrants:
-One missionary brother from our mission, together with his team, volunteers from his church, once every 2 weeks they carry humanitarian aid to the cities of Ukraine that were destroyed such as Gostomel, Irpen, Borodyanka, Bucha. A Christian Church has opened in Gostomel, Kyiv region, where evangelistic meetings are held and the Word of God is proclaimed. 200-220 people gather there and listen to the Word of God, and then they receive packages of help that our brothers brought from Chernivtsi. We received all this help from the PIEI America mission & the PIEI Romania mission, and we are always grateful to God for our brothers overseas who support us and our Ukraine.
-All our other missionary brothers serve and help refugees who live among us, in the Chernivtsi region, in Bukovina.
Brother missionary from Novoselitsa works very well and widely among refugees. Organizes evangelism among them where he preaches and teaches them the Word of God. Thank God there are repentants and close ones among them.

She also consults with sisters from our churches on how we can help with food for the soldiers who defend Ukraine. Our sisters help a lot in this regard. They prepare various foods for the soldiers, and the volunteers, our brothers, bring them baked bread and meat and various sweet cookies. God bless!

-Pray for our camp in Boyany which will be from July 22 to July 27 this summer. So that it would also be peaceful and calm and we could preach the Word among children and teenagers. So that we have a good team of leaders and teachers. We hope in the Lord and He will help us in everything.
-Continue to pray for our Chernivtsi region so that we will not continue to be attacked by enemy bombs and missiles.
-Pray for ministry among the displaced, so that more people will listen and accept Jesus Christ in their hearts.
-Pray for our missionaries so that the Lord will protect them, because we have military posts everywhere, in our villages. We are all thoroughly checked, both cars and documents. And among our missionary brothers there are also young brothers. We are also very worried about them. Pray for all of us.
