May the love of Christ accompany you every day in 2020.
We thank the Lord for your participation in the needs of my family and in supporting the Church and expanding the Kingdom of God in Ukraine.
1. With God's help, our young people and Alla organized two Christmas meetings in the Church: one was with teenagers, and the other with children was the theme of these Christmas meetings. Among these children were those who are brought up in unbelieving families. One mother of two children did not let children in, because she knew that her children would like more in our Church than where she leads them to the Orthodox Church. This time her children were with us. Pray for this mother so that she does not push her children to come to Christ. The father of these children is in prison. May God enlighten their minds to the knowledge of the truth.
2. On the holidays, God set my heart to go to the market where a lot of people come from all the villages in Novoselitsa. I distributed gospel pamphlets with my family to people announcing the purpose of the mission of the coming of Jesus Christ into this world. Many people took spiritual literature. We have already distributed about 3,000 brochures. We pray to God that this Word would encourage people to seek God. Pray for all the people of Bukovina, Ukraine, that they will know Christ.
3. Also, we have prepared about 800 calendars for 2020 of the gospel nature and with gospel brochures. We will distribute these calendars in schools, administrative buildings where public servants work. And also to people at home proclaiming to them in songs and with a word about the incarnation of Christ.
4. Today with the Group of young people from Chernivtsi this is the circle of our Son-in-law Eugene and from the village of Tarasovtsy and from our Church, were in the city and Served people with Christmas songs and spoke a word about Christ. They distributed calendars and brochures with an evangelistic character.
They visited the sovereign employees in the city hall, the District Council, the Tax Service, as well as in the market district of Novoselitsy.
The secretary of the head of the District Council thanked us for the received literature and calendars. She said that the biblical quotes on the calendar from last year were very valuable for her, encouraging me in difficulties. She cut out these quotes and put them in a prominent place in order to read these quotes every day. And she asked for literature for her daughter too.
Many people thanked us that we brought them good news, inviting us to come to them.
5. Prayer needs:
Pray in a place with us about the operation of the Word of God in the life of those who read and listen.
Pray for God-seeking among the Romanian and Ukrainian people.
Pray for strength in the word when it is passed on to the Church or to our neighbors.
Pray for service among children, adolescents, and youth.
6. Gratitude from the bottom of my heart that your hearts are still open to us. We have received material gifts from you, for which many thanks to you, and may God reward and increase His Grace in you.
Congratulations from our family on Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
With respect to you, the Popov family.
