Baptism of the girl from a camp

Greetings!!!

Peace to you!! With God's help, we continue our service in the Novoselytsia Church, to the Lord and our neighbor.

1. Grace was given to me to minister one evening with a word in the Boyana camp of Candela. The theme of the sermon was Jesus - Living Water.

Our children Eunice and Timofey also rested in this camp, for this we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your Spiritual and material help for this camp.

Alla and I came every evening to the camp and brought three teenagers who wanted to be with us at the evening worship program, they were from non-believing families. We communicated and prayed with them ... Eleven teenagers rested from Novoselitsy, five of them from non-believing families.

Nine children of them came to the prayer of repentance, and our son Timofey is 10 years old.

Praise God for this work through His word that was sown throughout the week.

2. Our church took part in carrying out the baptism in the Church in the village of Marshintsy. One young sister Anna from our Church was baptized; she repented two years ago in the Boyana camp. We are very happy for her and thank God that Anna joined God's Church ...

3. At our Church, we organized a neighborhood meeting for teens from 12 to 15 years old. The topic of this meeting was "Prayer". Teenagers could learn a lot about prayer based on the heroes from the Bible who practiced prayer. They received a lot of practical advice on how to pray.

-Thank the Lord for this auspicious time, where we can teach others about spiritual disciplines, and you are partners with us in this matter.

Prayer requests:

-Pray for the children and teenagers who heard the word of God and turned to Him in a prayer of repentance.

-Pray for the affirmation of believers to follow Christ.

-Pray for us that God will open the doors to continue preaching the Gospel.

Children's camp

I greet you with the love of the Lord Jesus Christ !!!

From 12 to 17 July, a day camp for children and adolescents was held in our Church. By God's help, my wife Alla was the camp coordinator. A team of young people worked to sow the Word of God in the hearts of children. The children talked, sang Christian songs, listened to Bible lessons, learned Bible verses, played different sports games, and every day we treated them to food and various sweets ...

We organized one evening for teenagers ... one guy Oleg was a sports instructor .. he had a testimony about his family, how they came to God ...

The children were happy to be with us for these six days ... the parents of these children were very surprised that the children were very interested in going to camp every day ... and asked: what did you interest our children in because they like everything with you.

We surprised children and parents with the love of God. On the sixth day, we invited the parents to hear and see what the children learned during these days of the camp ...

I also had a word for parents and an instruction so that they continue to teach children in the Word of God ... In the end, we handed out prizes and Christian literature to children ... In total, there were 90 children in the camp. Thank God for them !!! Pray for all children and their families, that God will work in their hearts and in their lives, that they will be saved ...

We praise God for the fact that He protected and blessed and gave strength to conduct this camp on such hot days, He was our Guide. Thank you for your prayer and material support…. May God be with you and may always bless you !!!

With love to you, the Popov family ...

Evangelization on the market square

Peace and grace of the Lord Jesus be with you !!!

Thanks to God's mercy, we were able to serve in the Church and our neighbors.

1. In the Church, we organized a special Easter meeting for children, they could hear the true story of Jesus' death and His Resurrection.

2. During the pre-Easter week, with the young people from the Church "House of Peace" of Pastor Gregory Pastushak, we were able to go out to the market square, where we sang about Christ crucified and risen. We spoke the word of God to people, handed out about 800 brochures, New Testaments, Christian magazines. People listened to the literature attentively. We pray for them that the word sown will bring good fruit in their life.

3. This week, Alla, along with three teachers, could be at school and teach Bible lessons in four grades, ages from 7 to 10 years. At the end, gifts and Christian literature were given to the children. The children were very attentive in the lesson, they asked many questions ... We thank God and ask Him to work in the lives of these children to save their souls ...

We also have a lot of neighboring children playing in our yard with our children, and one day before Easter, Alla gathered these children, told them the good news of salvation, and at the end they received gifts. The children were happy and joyful and listened very willingly to the Bible story ... but on the second day their parents did not allow them to listen to the story, they only played with our children, but with fear ... we pray for these children and their parents

Pray for all those who have heard the gospel that God will lead them to Jesus.

Pray for our family to continue working for the Glory of God.

We thank the Lord for your support, both spiritual and material.

May the Lord be with you in all your affairs. We pray for you.

The Popov family.

Bible lesson at school

Greetings to you all, peace to you.

With God's help and by His great mercy, this year we have the grace to serve the church and beyond.

1. This month we had a meeting for children, among them there were those who grow up in unbelieving families, a mother with her two sons was also present at the lesson. She really liked how the meeting for the children went. She also sang songs with the children, learned a verse from the Bible, and rejoiced with her children.

2. The other day there was a funeral of one brother who repented 12 years ago. For the last 4 years he was in bed with a patient. Unbelieving parents courted him. the church and I often visited their home where we held small meetings. Since he did not see, his mother read him the Bible. He prayed for his parents to repent too. We continue to pray for the bottom because they heard the Word of God more than once and their son showed them a good example of the Christian life. Many of the relatives at this funeral also heard the Good News. We also pray for them that the Lord would have mercy on them and give them repentance.

3. God opened the doors to the Gospel in one of the schools and kindergarten. Allah, together with a group of teachers, were able to teach a Bible lesson for 2 days in 8th grade. The children were from grades 1-4, they listened attentively and actively answered questions. One of the children said that Jesus was a magician because he worked miracles, of course we corrected them by telling them the truth from the Gospel. The school principal and teachers, parents thanked for the words they heard, Christian literature and gifts that the children received. The teachers also received calendars, children's Bibles, New Testaments.

We also visited a kindergarten with the same program where there were 56 children in 6 groups. They heard the Good News about Jesus Christ at their level. Teachers, educators and nannies received calendars, children's Bibles and the New Testament as a gift. Brother Andrey Petihachny together with me served as transport, carried gifts, and handed out spiritual literature for children.

Pray further for all those who these days have heard the Word of God, both children and adults, to come to the knowledge of God.

Thank you for being with us, supporting our work, spiritually and materially. May God reward you for your sacrifice to us to spread the Gospel and build up the church.

With love to you, the Popov family!
