Peace and love of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. We thank God and you for your help in serving the Church and your neighbors. Your spiritual and material support is needed especially at the present time.

1. We carry out the church service according to the usual schedule, continuing to build up the Church with the Word of God. We pray together for each other, we worship together God who loved us in His Son.

2. By visiting brothers and sisters from home, I have the opportunity to witness about Christ to people who are not saved live in the same house with them. They are very open to the gospel because they live in fear of death, illness, and without confidence in tomorrow. Together with the children, we recently handed out Gospel brochures to people in the market, people willingly took them. We pray for them that the seeds of the Word of God sown will bear the fruit of faith in Jesus and repentance before God.

3. We had great joy in the family and in the Church. Our second daughter Ruth made a Covenant with the Lord through Water Baptism. For us parents there is no greater joy that comes after the walking of our children in the light of the Word of God. We pray for Ruth that the Lord will confirm her in faith and dedication to Him.

4. Also, together with Alla, my wife, we visited a couple of families bringing them used things for children and adults. We also handed out things on the market to elderly people who cannot afford to buy them because of the small pension they receive. They thanked God and us for these things.

5. God helped us grow flowers and with these flowers we could decorate our town Novoselytsia. People are very happy with this beauty and thank us.

We greet you with the Love of the Lord Jesus Christ !!! With God's grace, we can work in His Church, edifying the people of God and proclaiming the Truth about Him, to those who still do not know it.

1. Last month, we in the House of Prayer began to make small repairs in the hall where we are going. Thank God for this update !!! We had to be in the House of God every day during work.

2. In Novoselitsa, people's houses and their gardens were also flooded. Brother Grisha Kioresko sent two families from Chernivtsi to us ... who showed a desire to help people clean up after the flood. Brothers and sisters from Chernivtsi also their children big and small came to us to help one set from our Church. Our family and another sister from the Church also joined these families and together went to the rescue. Brothers and young men cleaned the yard from the swamp, little boys and our Timofey repaired the furniture that was in the water, then washed the pool. The sisters washed and cleaned the whole house. The water in the house was up to one meter. I brought a pump from the house to pump water and pumped out all the water from the basement. A woman lives in this House who has repented and her husband is not a believer. They were very grateful to us and God for helping them. We brought them chemicals for cleaning the house of things ... These people from Chernivtsi brought water and washing powder. The next day, this sister, Galya, who suffered from a flood, said that her husband told everyone how believers helped them in this trouble. Praise God that His Name was glorified, and we could be witnesses to Him ...

3. The other day, God put our family in the heart to make a very pleasant surprise to several families who have adopted children. These are Five Families. We visited them and brought them flowers that we grow with God's help. And we helped plant them in their flower beds. Their children were very enthusiastic about the beauty that formed after planting flowers. We also brought something tasty to the children ... We talked with them and thanked God for each other ..

4. Prayer requests:

- that the government of Ukraine be God-fearing ... And if God wants it to stop all evil plans that are directed against the Church and the Family ...

- for the Church in Novoselitsa ... That every Christian should be closer to the Lord and be faithful to Him in everything.

зображення_viber_2020-07-03_01-05-20.jpg

- for our family ... So that we can always trust His promises and strive for His Holiness ... so that the children grow for His Glory.

- for all the people who suffered from the flood, so that they could turn to Him and go through these troubles without grumbling ...

I thank you for your spiritual, material support, thank God that you are with us and love us and serve our only Lord.

I greet you with the love of the Lord !!! May He be with you all until His Coming !!! We thank the Lord for this unique period during the quarantine.

God taught us at this time to trust Him even more without knowing what awaits us tomorrow.

1. The life of the Church is unusual from the past. To communicate with church members, we use social networks, we have a group in vibe. There we share our thoughts from the Word of God, write prayer needs, requests from the church, and others.

3. We helped those people who were sick with entire families who could not go anywhere to buy food or medicine ... We went and brought food and medicine to these people's homes.

7. God answered our prayers when we were sick, He heard us and gave us healing... When it was necessary to sell flowers, but were not able to sell on the market due to quarantine in order to have money for life ... God sent buyers home to us. Praise Him that He hears the righteous in times of distress.

8. Last Sunday, May 3, we gathered at the House of Prayer. There were about ten of us. They took part in the bread-breaking and rejoiced that Christ died for us and instead of us.

We constantly pray for you, those in the United States, that the Lord will strengthen in faith and hope and His love. We thank the Lord for you, that so far have been supported, encouragement in many ways, and an example for us, who serve the Lord in Ukraine.

May God reward you by repeatedly pouring out His Grace.

Prayer needs:

- Pray for the spiritual health of the Church.

- Pray for those who, at this time of frustration, could hear the gospel of Jesus Christ so that they would be saved.

- Pray for our families so that their hands will not fall, but be strengthened by hope in the Lord in all aspects of life.

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.

Camp "Candela"

IMG_7479.jpg

May the Peace of the Lord come with you and may His joy fill your hearts. Thank God that we have this opportunity to serve our Lord with you dear brothers and sisters.

Thank you for your prayers for us and for our family.

Praise the Lord that I could work together with other brothers from the mission of the PAI in Camp Candela, which took place in Boyan.

I could be the leader of one room over guys who were 17-18 years old. Every morning we prayed with them and read the Bible and meditated on the book of Jacob. Over the course of the week I helped with the translation into Russian for those children who did not know Romanian in the group where Brother Pavel taught lectures.

On the first day of the evening of worship, I had a sermon word for the entire camp on the theme “The Word of God” according to the book of Jacob. Helped my wife wherever needed. My wife Alla was the coordinator of this camp. She organized a good team of 26 leaders. In advance, over the course of three months, she prepared these young people so that they knew their responsibilities as leaders ... so that they knew who should behave and how and what they should be responsible for. The leaders in advance distributed the children in rooms ... and by age ... then Alla in advance compiled lists of children ... in advance discussed how to spend worship evenings ... what topics of the day will be ... what scenes ... films ... contests. .. all this was prepared in advance .... there was a lot of work ... but with God's help we could do everything and prepare .... Alla made a lot of changes in the camp program .... well, here are a couple of examples: first- I put this prayer chas before physical exercises .... the second strictly set the desceplen so that no one would break and so that the lead We watched this who violates the first order and then sent home ... so that boys to girls would not go into rooms and girls to boys .... to respect each other .... to respect the leaders of teachers .... what would participated in all plans of the camp .... and what is surprising this year, children and young people were very obedient ... they spoke strictly this year, but cool ...

IMG_7717.jpg

Then, in the pool, the boys were separated from the girls. At first the girls bathed, and then the boys .... and everything was fine.

 They liked the evening of worship the most ... they organized a young worship group, Naomi participated in it - she sang and played on the sensitizer ... Ruth she sang ... Tanya Pascar she also sang ... Andrei he played the guitar .. Arkady he played he sang on the guitar ... Venya Paskar played the violin .... Abigael Grishka she also sang ... Vitalik and Nesvoi played the stentizer .... such a group of worship of bawning prepared songs and could glorify God and make the whole camp happy.

_MG_7644.jpg

Then, every evening, leaders with their rooms for children and young people knew in advance what scenes to prepare and contests on the topic of the day. After this was a sermon every evening, brothers from the PAI mission went to preach on the topic of the day ... also Naomi and Ruth spent the evening news of the camp day where they prepared photos and video slides for the whole camp .... Also, Sasha Pastushak also had a very big role in this camp he spent the whole day and every day he shot videos and photos, then he mantled it and showed it to the whole camp ... everyone was drunk with these slides photos and videos ... there was also daily cleaning of rooms Alla went to the place with Sasha and checked the order of their rooms. Sasha photo rafiroval room and the evening show. but there was not only order, but also some surprises for Aunt Alla .... and they put balls in a room cleaner and more beautiful ... everyone liked it too ... we awarded them with the sweets that you sent a little earlier .. .. thank you for them .... also we had a Sport instructor Yanyk is a very good and responsible brother. He spent every day sports after the pool .. there were very interesting games and new ones. Thank you for helping to buy sports equipment for the camp .... and we also brought sports equipment from our Church which was not enough .... we also brought equipment from our church for the music group because it was impossible to use very old from Nesvoi which brought the equipment .... Alla also took the scenery in order to stage the scene and drink there the name of the camp and the theme of the camp .... Candela ... Life for Christ ....

After the evening worship, the evenings were very eventful so that children and young people would not just play the Belt as they did until now every evening before those years. But we divided them into three groups, one went to the Evening Mini Bonfire where brother Andrei Petihachny led guitar and fellowship .... others went to Christian Films ... where Alla and I could comment on these films later .... and the third went to board games or community in the circle led Yanyk .... and so it was three in the evening until then all did not participate in three groups. And on the fourth evening we divided them into four groups as they were divided for sports and they played a night quest ... two young girls, that is, the leaders thought this game up very interestingly ... and then each one found his treasure and this treasure was the Bible. .

IMG_7793.jpg

On the fifth day in the evening there was a big caster and a special program was prepared for the entire camp. Our new son, Eugene, was the husband of our Naemini.

We are very tired of everything, but God helped us all was very interesting and useful this year ... All young and teenagers and children said it was strictly, but very interesting and cool .... and they repented a lot and wrote a lot more .. ... but .....

Thank you and God. That they could hold this camp.

Pray for the children who know Christ and their parents prevent them from going to church and approaching God.

Secret baptism

_MG_1222.JPG

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.

зображення_viber_2019-07-25_21-13-20.jpg

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.
