Teenage and youth meetings

Peace be with you, dear brothers and sisters!

We are glad to be with you in the ministry of the Church of the Lord Jesus.

1. In the Church of Novoselitsy three meetings were organized with children of their number 50. They listened to Bible lessons, sang songs, played games, talked, learned Bible verses, treated themselves to sweets. In the end, each child received spiritual children's literature. Also, everyone received a gift.

2. Then we did a teenage-youth meeting, there were 10 young people. This meeting was conducted by our son Eugene, the husband of our daughter Naomi. The topic was "Who is Your Friend." Young people learned that the best friend is Jesus and that you can communicate with Him, get to know Him, love Him.

Ruth and one guy Arkady from Tarasovtsy led worship songs. We pray for these young hearts to be faithful friends to God.

3.When visiting the sick at home, I have the opportunity to evangelize unbelievers in this house and tell them about God's mercy in Jesus Christ.

4. I worked with one brother in the House of Prayer. Steam or water heating was connected. We thank the Lord for helping us in this necessary work for the Church.

5. Together with our children, we prepared one hundred calendars with spiritual booklets for distribution to people during Christmas and New Year.

We pray that the Lord will speak through this literature to those people who will receive it.

6.With God's help, my wife Alla agreed with the director of the second school from Novoselitsa to organize a meeting with 240 children who can hear the Word of God and give them spiritual literature and gifts. We pray for this meeting so that it will take place for the Glory of God and spreading His Word.

7. On this Sunday, Alla invited the teachers of the Sunday schools of the district to watch a video of the seminar, how to serve children as effectively as possible. We thank God for the vision that gives every teacher in working with children.

We thank the Lord and you that you

in this difficult time, you support us spiritually and financially.

Restoring the sequences of flood

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. We thank God for Rubin Kioresko and Andrei Petihachny for being able to make this repair and renovate this room.

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 ..

The life of Church during quarantine

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.

2. I invited our church members to visit their homes, some responded. We had a good fellowship around the Word of God, and I also suggested participating in the Lord’s evening.

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.

4. Also, we carried social packages in the Name of Jesus to some families who are poor. People thanked and praised God.

5. During quarantine, I invited every family in the church to pray at the same time every day at 19:00 and on Sundays at 10:00. Stay in fellowship, prayer, having one recommended scripture text.

6. In our family, we all read together in an organized manner with the children, prayed together, and sang together. These are unique moments when praise and worship of the Lord came from many homes of Christians.

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.

BE BLESSED !!!

With love to you, the Popov family.

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.
