Greetings to all partners of the PIEI mission.

With the help of God, we continue to serve people and the Church.

The children were taught how to survive in the wild, looking at Jesus... They went in for sports, participated in various games, learned songs and Bible verses, did crafts, prayed to God, and also learned spiritual truths: God keeps the promise, Jesus is the only sacrifice for sin, Jesus comes first.

On the last day, we met with children and parents, there were about 50 parents. The children showed what they had been learning for a week. Parents and children were grateful to the church.

The mother of two children said that her children learned a lot about God, and she wanted her daughters to sing Christian songs.

Pray for all children and that God would save them.

May God bless you.

Children meeting in Podvirne village

Greetings to all who love the Lord. Many thanks for your prayers and financial support in these difficult days that we are going through in Ukraine.

- We continue to gather in the house of prayer every Sunday with the church, refugees who live in the city of Novoselytsia come to these meetings. Some of them have gone to other cities.

- We thank God together with the refugees for the humanitarian aid provided to us by the PIEI mission. This caused us to give even more glory to God because He does not forget about us.

-Together with Alla and the young team, we went to the village of Podvirne and met the children in the church there. Most of the children came from unbelieving families. Among them were children of refugees from Kherson. The children heard about how the Good Shepherd Jesus wants to save everyone from death and sin.

We turned off the light and it became cold in the building, but the children stayed until the end of the program, at the end of the meeting, the children were invited to come to them again.

- Together with Grisha Kioresko we visited the military hospital, met with the wounded soldiers, told them words of encouragement from the Gospel, prayed for them, distributed New Testaments and Christian brochures. They told their stories, one of them thanked God that he was alive after a mine exploded next to him and only a small fragment grazed his leg and injured him.

- Pray for peace in Ukraine and the reconciliation of many people with God. Pray for us that God's spirit will guide us and fill it with strength. Gratitude to you for showing us your love in deeds by helping in our service both spiritually and materially. With love to you, the Popov family!

Aid for military

Peace be upon you all who love the Lord and His Church!!

The Grace of God has taken us through 2022 and helped us enter the New Year. With the help of God and his resources that were sent to us and through you, we here in Ukraine can continue to serve in the church and people who are not yet saved.

- As brother Grisha Kioresku already noted, we were together in the Military Hospital, where we met with many wounded soldiers after returning from the front line. We thanked them, testified about God, prayed for them and for their families. They were given fruits, sweets, hygiene items and New Testaments. We also donated four functional beds for the intensive care unit for the hospital. And also about 120 packages were distributed. One of the soldiers said, I believed there was a God at the front, because only God helped my friend. He received five wounds, bleeding, crawled 400 meters and survived.

Another said: God has already saved me, because although I was wounded, I survived, while others died.

Pray with us for the psycho-spiritual recovery of the soldiers who are returning from the front.

We continue to serve the refugees who attend our church every Sunday. They receive spiritual, psychological and material assistance. Pray for further ministry among them.

On Sunday, a family from Kherson arrived. They left because every day the city of Kherson is shelled hundreds of times and it is very dangerous for life. In the church, we helped them with food and clothes and also gave them spiritual literature.

- On December 25, Alla with young sisters in the church organized a meeting with the children of refugees and military personnel, there were 30 children, the topic of the meeting was "Emmanuel God with us." At the end of the meeting, the children received gifts and children's literature, and were treated to a sweet table. Together with them, we prayed to God for peace in Ukraine and thanked him that Jesus came to our earth.

- The sisters in the workshop sewed a sanitary stretcher for paramedics. In each stretcher we put the Gospel and the soldier's prayer book. We have already sent 30 medical burdens to the city of Bakhmut and the Luhansk region. We pray to God that many soldiers will be saved by paramedics and that God will save their souls.

Together with Grisha Keorescu, we sent parcels with food and spiritual literature to the military front.

I thank you all for your help spiritual, financial and material. Thank you for being with us during this difficult time for us. May God bless you! With love to you, the Popov family.

A day of thanksgiving to the Lord

Greetings to all those who are with us in these difficult days. With God's help, the church continues its activities, fulfilling the great commission of Christ.

-We had a day of thanksgiving to the Lord in our church for the gifts that He gave us this year. Despite the war, God helped us through many churches from abroad. This help included the participants and mission of PIE, for which we thank God and you for your humanitarian and spiritual assistance. Many refugees were with us on this Thanksgiving holiday. At the end of the program, the gifts brought to the House of God were distributed to them.

-We continue to have a ministry for refugees, every Sunday we are visited by about 20 migrants. They listen to the gospel and are motivated to respond to it.

-Every Sunday we have a special prayer of intercession. We pray by name for the soldiers who are fighting at the front, for the volunteers, the wounded, and also for those who are in captivity.

- Alla with a sewing team sewed 500 tactical pharmacies for soldiers and officers who are fighting. We put a New Testament and a soldier's prayer book in each first aid kit. We pray for everyone who receives the Gospel that God will protect life and grant them eternal life through faith and repentance before God.

Pray for our ministry in Ukraine, so that the church is built and the Kingdom of God expands. Also pray for wisdom in ministry among the refugees. Pray for the resources that God will send them so that we can continue to serve the people who need them in these difficult days for Ukraine.

-Thanks to sister Marta for the financial assistance she provided to our family. These funds were needed to dress the children in winter clothes. Thank you so much and may God bless you and all who help us. Thank you for being with us and supporting our ministry in every way.
