Social ministries

I greet you, friends! I want together with to thank God for all the blessings that He has provided in the 2025 year already. Despite the fact that many disruptive events happen in the world, we are under the protection of Almighty God.

I am glad that lately, six people have repented at our church. Those people are different in age but when they came to the church they understood that they needed Christ. I pray for that that they will get a baptism.

Our church continues our social ministry among the population of our city. We provide aid to mental and military hospitals. To help people you don't need to go to the East, because a lot of wounded people are here.

I thank God for the activity of our youth. There are repentances of girls and boys in their meetings.

Last month I had several trips to the region of Bucovina. Many churches need spiritual support. Churches experience an outflow of people caused by emigration.

I spend a lot of time in meetings and talking with different people. It is so important today to spread compassion and encouragement to the people.

We continue to pray for our government. Ukraine is bled and powerless. But our help is only in God.

thank you all for your support. May God bless you abundantly.

We pray for you, missionary Pastushak Hrigoriy.

Assistance for soldiers

Brothers and sisters, peace to you! I have a great privilege and joy to cooperate together with you on God’s field. I think that we live right before the ascension of church. So we will care to be participants of that grandiose event.

The last month was important for me since I spent a major of its part in Theological institute. In the beginning, the second course was, and then the fourth course. We studied important eschatology issues. Students curious what the Bible says about the last time.

We completed lessons for those who are going to have baptism. It has to happen in the beginning of December.

Our church continue to visit the hospital where military guys are wounded. At first, they need moral and spiritual support. Besides that, weekly we prepare food for those who are in mental hospital.

Two weeks ago, we had a special prayer for Society of evangelization of children. We thanked God for the team that shared the Gospel to 1000 children of our region this summer.

I thank God that we have possibility to share the Gospel for non-Christians for salvation. Two persons repented during this time.

We are engaged with preparation of the Christmas. Children's choir, youth and elders plan different events in our city so that tell people about Christ.

Brothers and sisters, please continue to pray about Ukraine. We have a terrible situation now. There is only one hope and it is God!

May God bless you all!

With a prayer for you, Hrihoriy Pastushak.

Thanksgiving Day

I greet you, brothers and sisters!

I have a great honor, together with you, to proclaim the Gospel of salvation to the people who are far from God.

As the autumn has come, our services shifted in the building of the church among believers. We started the ministry in the Sunday school - Bible study for children. Kids from Christian and not Christian families come to these events with a great joy. I think that this work with children is one of the most important ministries in the church.

Our youth started to conduct their coffee house meetings. On such events a lot of non-Christian people in usual come. There are repentances and that is a great joy.

Now lessons in theological institute had started. Students come from different point of our region. Churches have a great need in servants. We are concerned about that because a lot of families move abroad. And mostly they are youth who escape the war.

Recently there was the regional brothers conference in Boyan. There were a lot of brothers and quests from Romania and USA.

We started the preparation to the baptism that is going to happen in December.

In September, we celebrated Thanksgiving Day. This holiday service was really blessed.

We are getting ready for literary musical meeting. Christian poets released the next book of poems. And this is going to be a nice event for us.

We continue to go to the East of Ukraine with a purpose to help people and churches.

Please, pray for the end of the war in Ukraine, and also for repentance of people.

With respect and prayers for you

Grigoriy Pastushak

New families during a war

I greet you dear friends in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

I thank God that I can accomplish the ministry together with you.

From the beginning of the summer, we have much more work. Especially it related to the camps of different age categories. Last month we conducted a camp for widows and lonely women. Also, we had a meeting with the wives and children of soldiers who died or still are on the front line. In a row camps for children and youth.

Three months ago I visited Paris. I attended two churches which mostly consist of refugees from Ukraine. They need spiritual and moral support. One church was founded during the war. So today we have an issue with the ordination of ministers there.

I thank God that during a war new families are created. Last Saturday I conducted a matrimony of a young couple.

We have much more meetings with the members of the church to solve their problems. It takes a lot of spiritual and moral strength.

We continue to support our brothers and sisters who live close to the front line.

Now we are preparing for the baptism. It has to be in July.

We pray fervently for the end of the war. People are tired and they ask God for peace.

I thank God for all of you and I ask you to not forget to pray about us.

With prayer for you, Grigoriy Pastushak.

I conduct the preparation to baptism for brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, we don't have a lot of willing to get into the covenant with God. But He is kind, and He will add to the church those who are saved. We have active preparation to the summer camps with children and youth.

We have different events with widows of soldiers. It is pity, but the war still going on. We continue to pray with hope for a victory and peace. Please, don't forget about Ukraine in your prayers.

God help me to teach in the theological institute, and also I participate in the radio programs.

I had a meeting with guests from Israel. They experience hard time now.

We continue to conduct family meetings. We want that our families, especially young, strengthen their love to each other.

Ministry for the wounded soldiers

Peace and grace to you, dear friends!

I sincerely thank God that I can serve Him and His church together with you!

I appreciate everyone who support my ministry prayerful and financially. May God abundantly bless all of you!

Since the beginning of the year we conducted several evangelistic services for youth, kids, and elders. The Word of God is being preached both as in the House of prayer and at various spots of our city. In particular, we have meetings with the children in one of the local library.

We have plans for the future to extend our evangelical ministry.

For now, we give attention to the wounded solders who are in the military hospital. A group of our brothers and sisters systematically attend them and help them with their needs.

During a week last month I taught the theology at our institute. Despite the war, a lot of brothers show activity to the studying.

I spend a lot of time on counselings and on solving different issues of the church. It really exhausts me, but God give a strength.

I had a couple of the trips to the churches of our region. For nowadays, our churches have descending because a lot of families moved abroad, especially young families.

I realize that all Christian world pray about Ukraine for the end of world. Please continue to do that further.

God bless you!

One more blessed month

Peace and grace to you brothers and sisters of the mission PIE.

Last month, November was saturated for with preparing people to the baptism. During long period we met and learn doctrines of the Bible. And on the first Sunday of December the baptism by faith was held. 17 people gave God the promise of good conscience. Praise the Lord! We are very joyful!

For this term I also had a ministry with students of our theological institute. Even now, I continue to teach the students. Young brothers have an enthusiasm to this case. That really cause development of our churches.

From time to time I am involved in the radio ministry. Our voices might be listened in the occupied territory. They write us their impressions of that heard, and thank that can hear the Word of God.

We had an ordination of three deacons and one evangelist.

Our Church continue to share the Gospel with various ways:

- We have regular meetings with unchristian children in one of the civil library.

- We help and visit injured soldiers who are in the military hospital.

- We feed sick people in the psychiatric hospital.

- We go to the east of Ukraine with humanitarian aid.

Now we are preparing to the Christmas holiday. We want to reach out many people with the Gospel. We prepare gifts for children and needy.

Also, we constantly pray for a peace in Ukraine. Please for us!

I sincerely thank you for your comprehensive help in my ministry!

Trip to the Donetsk region

I greet you, brothers and sisters of the PIE mission. Grigoriy Pastushak addresses to you. Thank God that I can serve Him together with you for salvation of many people.

We are living in not easy time. So, we need to use this time for sharing the Gospel.

For this reason, our church conducts different events to reach as much people as we can.

We continue to impart comprehensive aid for people who suffered due to the war.

We attend the military hospital where are many injured soldiers. Often they don't have here neither relatives nor familiars. They really need a help, firstly, spiritual and psychological help.

For a long time we cook a food and bring it to the psychological hospital. There are many military guys as well. They can not recover from physical and psychological trauma that they got on the front line.

Recently, I came back from the trip to Donetsk region. We visited three settlements: Ukrainsk, Girnik, and Surokine. We handed out humanitarian aid to the needy people, shared the Gospel, talked and encouraged people. They need God!

On these days I teach in our theological institute. There are many young brothers who want to study the Bible, so that really brings me joy to my heart.

We are preparing to perform the baptism, so we have a lot of preparation. If God’s will, we will have the baptism in December.

Please, continue to pray about awakening in our city and our nation. People are more concentrated on the war than on God.

I thank God for all of you! God bless!

With prayer for you, missionary in Chernivtsi Grigoriy Pastushak.

Baptism in Chernivtsi

I greet you with peace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ. I want to share with you briefly about my ministry.

One event strongly impressed me, it is the trip to the Kherson. We visited villages that suffered after explosion of Kahovsk hydroelectric power station. People were really appreciated to us that we brought them humanitarian aid. Of course, we told them about Jesus Christ and prayed with them. The most of them cried because they lost their houses, and they left without resources for life. But God doesn't leave them in that misfortune.

Our church with its own resources performed action with help to the relatives of perished warriors. On these meetings, there were about 50 unchristian people. We had a possibility to share with them the Word of god and console them in their grief.

In the end of July, we conducted the baptism in our church. 10 souls joint to our church. So we thank God.

Summer is the term of different camps. We conducted VBS camp at the territory of our church. Each day almost 150 children had possibility to have fun, rest and the Bible lessons.

We had also camps for teenagers, youth, families, widows, blind people and they bring a good results. Because here are a lot of unchristian people who see everyday life of Christians. Afterward, they become to attend the church.

Besides of that we had various trips, seminars, evangelization in the city and at homes.

I pray that all such work achieve success and repentance of people.

Earnestly thank all those who help me in this ministry.

With respect and prayer for you,

missionary in Chernivtsi Grigoriy Pastushak
