Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Blessings to you from the Lord and many thanks to God for you and for your prayers and financial support.
1. This month we were with our Church at baptism in Chernivtsi. One young girl, she is from Novoselitsa, she believed in God even when she was a teenager. She was Naomi’s classmate, they were very friendly, and thanks to this friendship, God helped her to accept Jesus Christ into her life.
But the relatives of this girl are very opposed. And she secretly attended meetings or youth meetings. This girl's name is Valya and now God helped her to be baptized, we were all happy for her and went to her baptism.
2. 14 .07. 2019. It was a leadership meeting for the youth camp in Boyans. Alla and I put together a Leadership Team in order to prepare a program for the camp. This year there will be 26 leaders. Alla is the coordinator. She helps Brother Paul and Sister Larisa in preparing this camp. We, together with the whole team, made a little change in the program ...., especially in the evenings ... there will be three groups of young people where some will go to chat near the mini campfire. Another group will go to watch a Christian film. The third group will go to the games (checkers, chess, board games, or games in a circle that can be played in the room). And so it will be three in the evening and the group will change. There will also be a worship group that will lead the singing of the whole camp. Responsible for this group are Naomi and Ruth.
Leaders prepare each for their room lessons in the morning for prayer.
Also July 21 there was another leadership meeting for the camp in Boyans. We discussed a lot more: sports, a program for the evening of worship. There will be a sermon on the theme of the day every night; the brothers from the PAI mission will preach.
3. In our family has become an important event. Our daughter Naomi is getting married. July 20, 2019 was the matchmaking of Naomi and Zhenya. We are very happy for them and pray for the formation of a new family. The wedding will be 08.18.2019.
Prayer Needs:
1. Pray for that girl Valya who was baptized so that God would help her to endure the difficulties in her family and tell her parents about her decision. And so that she remains faithful to Him.
2. Pray for the Boyanah camp, for God to work in the hearts of the leaders. So that they can give theirselves to the ministry at 100%.
3. Pray for the youth who will be in the camp so that God will work in them and change their life.
4. Pray for Naomi and Zhenya. For God to be in the first place in their life, and so that they can prepare for this important step in their life.
Yours faithfully, the missionary Valera Popov.
