Receive heartful greetings from our family and our churches.
Our church in Vovchanets is not big so we can meet at home and study the Bible. We read and discuss Neemi's book. Despite that a pandemic scares people I as a missionary don`t forget my goal and mission therefore the Word of God has to get to the people's hearts.
I meet a lot of inhabitants of the village and once I met three women Mariia, Anna and Valia. They all are more than 70 years. I met them often on the streets and on government holliadays. I asked them about their health, family and asked do they what to listen to some songs and histories about Christ, His love and mercy. After the songs they asked me why do I don`t wear a cross on my breast, why do I don`t make a sign of the cross on my body? I told them Gospel, about the life of Christians and truly meaning of the cross and how to wear it. The Bible doesn't ever say about the sign of the cross, so this tradition is from people but not from God. The Bible doesn't instruct us to baptize newborn babies. Then I encouraged them to read the Bible and learn the truth about the topics. Who did not have the Bible at home I granted them.
These three women attended evangelizations we held such as baptism, Chrismas, burial, etc. We always invite them to come to the church for our communication. So we pray about them and wait for their coming. I prepared firewoods for winter for them several years ago. I sang and prayed at their houses. Please, brothers and sisters, pray about Mariia, Anna and Valia may God open their hearts, may they repentant and become the children of God.
Pray that people who fear a pandemic starts to fear God.
Thank you very much for your prayers and support. God bless you and your family.
With love to you my precious brothers in Christ, missionary Vasiliy Preutesa.
