The state allowed us to get together, only set us the condition that we would comply with sanitary medical requirements, get together in small numbers, maintain distance and wear more masks. Our church members agree to get together already.

2.Home groups:

After we started to get together at the House of Prayer, everyone decided not to disband the small home groups where they had gathered together during the pandemic for almost 2 months, but they want to continue to come together in small groups to study the Word and prayer, just not while serving a church in the House of Prayer. I am very glad that all members of the church were kindled for prayer and for the glorification of Christ.

3. Bible studies online.

Gospel in home groups

1.Mini Evangelism:

Church, the village of Nesvoia is divided into small groups. One group gathers in a house of worship, and the other in houses where each group has its own leader. Every Sunday, unbelieving people come to these groups who want to pray with us and want to praise the Lord through chants.

Testimony:

Coming to prayer in these groups, I realized that I had to pray to God through Jesus Christ so that God would hear my prayer. I realized that only Jesus Christ is the Mediator between God the Father and man. I so want the Lord to forgive me, bless and protect me and my family. Misha.

2.Funeral:

In the village of Nesvoia we had 2 funerals. Two brothers went to eternity: one is 63 years old and the other is 80 years old. We held this funeral with a small group of singers and with two preachers. Relatives of the dead were mostly unbelievers and heard the Word of God. We pray for them so that the Word of the Lord will reach the hearts of people and that they will repent.

3.Bread refraction:

In many churches, they performed bread-breaking, as follows: In the church they consecrated bread and wine with prayer, and then believers came in small groups at different times and took part in the bread-breaking. We pastor and deacon served our brothers and sisters. And then they visited the sick at home, where they also joyfully joined the church accepting the bread-breaking.

4.Thanks:

God's help in a difficult time

May the peace of God and the love of Jesus Christ fill our hearts, dear brothers and sisters in Christ!

I am grateful to God that through His Word he consoles us and requires us to stop and put things in order in our lives and prepare to meet with Him. Everything that is happening now, events, this pandemic, everything says that the Lord is close and the Church of Christ should prepare to meet his Bridegroom.

Such are the orders in our country so that during quarantine people with an advanced age of 60 years and above, so that they sit at home and do not go outside. Our daughter Angelica and her husband Michael are very helpful. They live near us and buy the necessary quarantine at this time.

3.Prayer:

But at all the will of the Lord. If the Lord blesses us and stops this pandemic, and gives us all health, then we should work with even more jealousy on His Niva, because the time of Christ's coming is very close and we must manage to bring even more people to Christ. May God help us in this matter!

As well as us all the children of God who live in Ukraine, so that the Lord will protect us from any disease, so that the children of God can work with jealousy on the Divine Field.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My wife Larisa and I went, on January 12, to the village of Zhilovka, where they carried out bread-breaking in this church. There the church is very small and they were waiting for us very much so that we would come so that they too could remember the sufferings of Christ through the breaking of bread. They prayed earnestly and very much asked the Lord for a minister in their church! There is a lot of spiritual work to do, because there are Jehovah's Witnesses in the village. There are a lot of them in this village. Imagine that the house where the witnesses are gathering is located across the road from the house of the prayers of our Christian Baptist brothers and sisters. I am constantly preparing to answer questions from our brothers on the subject of the Triune God, the 144,000 and thousand-year-old kingdom. Spiritual lessons are needed with this church. We pray that the Lord will have mercy and encourage young ministers to serve in this church.

All sisters, from different areas of the Chernivtsi region, submitted reports for 2019 for the work done among the sisters: mercy among orphans and those in need, conducting prayers and studying the Word of God, camps for widows. All the sisters thanked the Lord for His help and support in the sisterly ministry. They planned to create even more groups for prayer and study the Word of God, to organize 2 sisterly conferences a year, in each district of the Chernivtsi region. We prayed for this plan so that the Lord would bless the sisterly ministry in 2020. We believe that the Lord will bless His Holy work-Glory to Him!
