Peace and grace to you who pray, worry, and support our missionaries in Ukraine. Wellbeing and health to you, may faith, hope, and love accompany you and your family.
In the first picture, I visited our sister Lida who is 77 years old. She is laying without a move for 2 years. She repented in 2008 and took baptism, she attended the church regularly. She has a lot of diseases and her grandchildren look after her, they are unbelievers.
In the second picture, I am with her grandson Nikolay, he is about 40. His wife asked me to pray for her. Nikolay is often drunk and hits her and make a lot of problems in the family. He is hardworking but when he starts to drink for a couple of weeks he spends all his money.
I attend twice a month our sister Lida and I have the opportunity to talk with Nikolay and Alesia his wife. I tell them about God, sin, salvation, paradise, and God`s love.
Nikolay asked me: How can you not to drink, smoke and cuss out? Because you were like me when you were young. I replied to him: Faith in God keeps me away from these flesh enjoyment. I trust Him and hold His hand and He helped me to get rid of these sins. God loves you and your grandma prays of you that you seek God, love Him, and avoid quarrels, screams, cuss out in your family. Let only peace and consensus be in among you. Nikolay said that he tried to not drink, treated in the hospital but nothing did not help. I said only faith in God can help you.
In the third picture is Vitaliy, he is 33, he was working with wood, I was passing by and stopped to talk with him. When Vitaliy was young he attended the church and he repented on the big evangelization on the stadium in Chernivtsi. But then his friends from a school convinced him to not go to the church. I tell him what is waiting for those who don't obey God. He knows a lot from Bible. Recently he married Marina, who is 32. I told him that I make this picture and many people will pray about you and your wife. He agreed and was thankful for that.
Prayer needs:
Please, pray for all these people whom I met and talked to. May God opens their heart and they come to Jesus.
Pray for Artem and Bogdan who were in the camp may they have the desire to come to the church.
I am thankful to all brothers of the mission PIEI for your prayers and your financial support, and that you worry about our mission. I wish you health, happiness, faith, and love!
With love to you my precious brothers in Christ, missionary Vasiliy Preutesa.
