Peace and grace to all of you brothers and sisters of the PIEI mission.

Walking by one house I so there two women that talked there. I came to them and greeted them.

In the first picture is Zina Bezushko, who is 78 years old. She is a widow for a long time and she does not have children. When I meet her I tell her every time that she is not alone, God is close to her always. If you call Him to your life it would extremely change. Many people say that they believe in God but do not truly entrust Him in their lives. "And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." (Mk.1:15) We talked a lot about God and at the end, they said we see that you serve God better than we. I promised her to pray for her may she know God.

The second woman is Antonica, who is 82, one time she attended home groups, but now she very little knows about God. I told her that we need to worship God in the spirit and the truth. You like my mother worship icons but it is a sin, 1, 2, and 3 commandments say about that. I need to not offend her but I have to tell the truth. I ask her does she want to know God through the Bible but not through the traditions. She replied that she wants to be close to God.

In the second picture is Alex who is 65. He came here 20 years ago from Mykolaiv City it is the center of Ukraine. I met him on the street and started to talk. I asked him does he have the Bible and does he rear it or it is on the bookshelf as a shrine. "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." (Jn.5:39) When I was young I did not know God, my parents attended the church on Christmas and Easter, but we were not taught from the Bible. They considered themselves as believers. "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (Jn.3:18)

I started to read the Bible in 24 and I recognized that it is impossible to live without God. Then Alex asked me to pray for his family.

Prayer requests:

Pray for Nina, Antonina, Alex and their families. May God reveal Himself for them.
Pray for an awakening in our region and in Vovchanets and Vanchakauts villages.

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.
