Peace and grace to all missionaries of the mission PIEI. Brief notices about my ministry in Ukraine.
It is hard to talk with people freely cause of the pandemic. They are afraid to get sick and avoid any contact.
I asked one man Petr at the store do you believe in Jesus Christ as a Son of God? He replied I don't care about it now. Then I asked him why? Do you know that God loves you? He responded Where is God? My wife is dead in the hospital due to a virus, I left with a daughter and a son. How can I live further? My wife looked after them but now I cant to work and take care of them. I consoled and compassioned him and suggested praying for him. He looked at me wondered and said you don't know me and do you want to help me? Then I asked him have you ever prayed to God? He replied Yes, I was baptized in childhood as all people. We prayed for his life and problems and after prayer, I saw tears in his eyes. I encouraged him to read the Bible and to pray to God. We exchanged phone numbers to keep in touch with him further.
In the first picture, I am with my old friend Vitaliy. He is in divorce from his first wife. He has a son 33 years old. He lives with another wife now. Several times he attended our church. But his friends laughed at him so he stopped. I said him that many people from the church will pray for you. God hates divorce. I talked about the Bible and prayed for him.
In the second picture, I am with two Marinas in the store. They work there. We are familiar for a long time and they know that I am a believer. Marina Popuk has a husband Nickolay and a daughter a son. Marina and his father often invite me to their house to talk about God. They are very attentive to me and to the Bible and asked me a lot of questions.
Marina Bodian has a husband Slavic, they do not attend any churches. So I told them that each person needs to worship someone. So you worship God or mammon. I encouraged them to read the Bible and to seek God.
Pray for all these people may they find God.
We are grateful with my family for all your financial and spiritual support.
With love to you my precious brothers in Christ, missionary Vasiliy Preutesa.
