Dear brothers and sisters, God bless you all. At the very beginning of this month, I was at the gas station and fueled my car and I had the opportunity to talk with the assistant of the station Valery. He is 55 and he has a wife and two children. He is my old familiar. I told him many times: Valera, stop to smoke and drinking. Your wife is in Italy. We visited this family at Christmas and sang some carols to them. Then they visited the church and were interested in reading the Bible. I asked him: Do you read that Bible we gave to you at Christmas? He replied: Yes, I do. You know, when I read the New Testament I don't understand everything. Why I can't find there that we need to wear the cross on the neck, make a cross sign, and bow before Mary and the icons? I even did not find that we need to baptize little babies. I asked him: Do you admit the Holly Bible as God`s book? Yes, I do, he responded. The same book priests have but they read only what they want and what fits their beliefs. I encouraged him to pray and ask me when he doesn't understand the Scripture. I invited him to the church and to come to God while it is not late.

In the second picture, I took two women in my car. Behind me Innesa, who is 35 and she is a children's teacher in a kindergarten. She is a singer in the orthodox choir. I met her before and shared the Gospel that a man needs to rebirth from heaven.

Close to me is Vera, who is 62. She knows me since childhood, we went to school along with her. I always tell her about God and my repentance. It is hard to accept the truth for orthodox who believe in traditions and priests. I along with my son plastered their house in 2016 for three weeks. So we had a lot of conversations about God and His love for us.

They have been at some Christian funeral evangelizations. I told them that I would pray for them may God direct them on a path of true.

Prayer needs:

1. Pray for Valeriy and his family may they come to Christ

2. Pray for Vera and Innesa and their families may they have a desire to know God thruly.

My family is really grateful to you for your prayers and your support. We pray for you, love you, appreciate you, and bless you.

With respect to you, missionary Vasiliy Preutesa.
