Children's Ministry

We praise the Lord for His Grace that is upon us every day! With His help we can do the Lord’s ministry in the local church and beyond. 

Among other ministries, the main ministry is the Children’s meetings that we do every Saturday in which we do Bible studies, contests and sports. The teens as well attend their classes of Sunday school. Please, pray for the kids to open their hearts and allow Jesus in their lives. 

Spreading the Word

We practice personal and massive evangelism, share Christian brochures and other works to bring people to Christ. On October 14 we are going to have a massive evangelism in the center of our town. We pray that more people to come to the evangelism. 

Thank you for the spiritual and financial support. We pray for all of you who have an open heart for us. Be blessed!

Best regards, Popov Valery

Teen Testimonies

Ten teens from our town had the opportunity to spend a week in the PIEI camp sponsored by our brothers and sisters from the USA. We are grateful to all the people who contributed financially, physically and spiritually to the organization of this camp so that our youth could grow spiritually in the knowledge of God. 

A fourteen year old teen, Milana, confessed that after the apologetics’ course she started to believe in God’s existence. She accepted the Lord in her heart on the last night at camp and now she is attending our church regularly. 

Another thirteen years old teen Pavel, who comes from a Christian family started to read the Bible regularly. This was confessed by his parents who told us that before camp he was never interested in Bible reading or Christianity. Please pray for all the teens that drew near God after the camp. 

Another major event for our church in August was to host the regional Women’s conference lead by sister Gabi Stef, Patricia Grupp and Jackie Wundley. All the sisters in Christ from our district spent a wonderful time in Bible study and experienced precious fellowship with our guests. 

The Church in Crimea

Our family was invited to Crimea for 12 days by a local church in Saki, a town in Crimea. There I wax blessed to hold a wedding ceremony of a young couple, Ivan and Nadia. We ministered in that local church in different ways, and as a result a woman accepted the Lord in her heart. All the church was encouraged because it had been a long time since anybody repented in their church. We praise the Lord for using us in different parts of our country and in different ways. Please pray for people in Crimea to find Jesus.

Fundamental Questions

With God’s help our church could host 78 children during a week of VBS held in July. The children heard about the people’s encounters with Christ described in the Scripture. They received the answer to the fundamental question of life: How can I be saved? What is necessary in following Christ? Besides the Bible study the children enjoyed different sports, games, crafts, English lessons and delicious food. On the last day of VBS 30 parents attended the children’s concert. I met parents I have never met before at the concert. Below I give you some testimonies from the VBS.

A boy told us that he learned how to use the Bible, another confessed that he understood how to follow Jesus. The parents confessed to us that their children started to behave well. 

We praise the Lord as His Word and the Holy Spirit are working miraculously. Please, pray for the children and their parents to find Jesus and follow Him. 

Sisters in Fellowship

After VBS we were honored to host the regional women’s conference in our church held by our sisters in Christ from the USA, sister Gabi Stef, Sister Jackie Wunderly and sister Patricia Grupp. All the sisters at the conference had a great fellowship and received valuable Bible teaching. On the same day all the PIE missionaries in Ukraine met the PIEI president Cornel Stef and shared their experiences and received advice on how to do ministry better and to the Glory of God. 

On July 30 the PIEI camp started. Nineteen young people from Novoselitsa attended the camp, and seven of them accepted the Lord in their hearts. Melania (age 15) was an atheist before, but after she attended Dr. Jackie’s lessons about Apologetics she has changed her thoughts about evolution. On the last night she accepted the Lord. When I asked her - Do you believe in God that He is the Creator of the universe and of all things, that it is your Creator and mine? Then she answered firmly to me: "Yes, I believe and accepted the Lord Jesus as Lord and Savior in my life.

We pray for these people whose parents are not believers, that the Lord can work in their lives and lead them through His Holy Spirit. Let He be glorified!  All the parents and teens of our church thank you for your financial support and for the opportunity to be in this camp. It is worth indeed!

Evangelisms

By God's mercy we are in His work.

We were involved in a mega evangelism last month which took place on the stadium in our town. I personally was a spiritual counselor for the people who decided to follow Jesus. Our church is preparing for the VBS for children, which is starting on July 16th. We plan to have more children this year.  Please, pray for the children who will hear the Gospel that the Holy Spirit will work repentance in their hearts. We also are preparing for another mega evangelism that we are going to hold in the central town square on the topic "Christian Values in Everyday Life". 

Thank You

Thank you for getting involved in the ministry with the youth of our country. We pray for the American and Romanian teams to be blessed by everything are doing.  To the Lord be the glory and honor!

Thank you for the spiritual and financial support. Thank you for the great heart you have for Ukraine. 

Best wishes, Popov Valery
