Peace and grace to all of you brothers and sisters. Thankfully the Holy Spirit leads us in this world and helps us to preach the Gospel to the people who don't know God. I noticed how God give me a lot of people on the street, at the market, at stores to talk with them.
In the first picture, I am in the store in Vanchakauts village where I could talk to people. This is an Italian guy who came to his friends in Ukraine. When I met him in the store and I started to get to know him. The saleswoman knew Italian so she could interpret. He is Josepe Nastroiany, about 70 years old. I asked him: do you believe in God? Yes, I do, I am catholic and attend the temple on holidays - he replied. Then I asked him: Do you have the Bible and do you read it? He said Yes, I do, I put it on the sideboard to not gathering dust, I care about it as sanctity. My parent taught me that if I keep the Bible in safety I would be blessed and have a happy long life. I told him that the Bible is given to us for we parse it. "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." (Jn.5:39) You have to read it and ask many questions to it but not only keep it in the holy place. You need to pray so God opens you His peace and you learn more about Him. We talked with him bout an hour and said that I will pray for him.
In the second picture is Kalinka Pitsen, he is 65. When he had come to the store he heard how I am talking about God with Josepe and he joined us. He asked me why did I take the second baptism, why do I not bear the cross on my neck, why do I not make a cross sign at myself? I told them about repentance, baptism, revival, and love of God. They were wondered to find out these trues. I invited them to the church.
In the third picture, I am with the owner of the store Stella, she was an interpreter. She heard what I talked about the Bible. She knows a lot, I talked to her and her husband a lot about the salvation.
Prayer needs:
1. For Josepe from Italy, for Kalin and Stella. May they get God`s peace and reconcile with God.
2. For awakening in the Vovchanets and Vanchakauts villages, may people fear and seek God.
I am grateful to all brothers of the mission PIEI for your support of the little churches. God bless you!
With love to you my precious brothers in Christ, missionary Vasiliy Preutesa.
