Dear brothers and sisters from the PIE mission, peace and grace to all of you! Our country Ukraine is in the military state, people die, houses destruction, children lose, youth rape all such evil doing godless russia. They don't have neither conscience nor shame, nor fear of God. But the Bible says You will reap what you planted. In this terrible war, we as missionaries have to be cheerful and to tell people about the Christ.
In the first picture, I met a woman, Valentina. We told about the heaven that Jesus prepared for us. She visited couple of times on evangelizations and our church, she likes to hear the Word of God. I told her Seek God while we can find Him. I prayed for her and invited to the church.
In the second picture I stopped at one house where were a group of people. They talked about a war and commissariat, how they collect people for the war. They asked me: You are believer, why russia attacked us peaceful people and destroy everything? What have we done wrong for them? I replied them from the Matthew that in last days nation would stay against other nation there would be diseases, pandemics, earthquakes. Guys, we don't read the Bible, we don't pray to God, we don't thank God for everything He gave us, that is why we don't understand the plan of God. We need to reconcile with God and to pray about the peace in Ukraine. God is Almighty, and we need only ask Him for help. Come to the church and you will learn more about God.
In the third picture is Tanya who is pharmacy assistance. I meet her often in the pharmacy and I explain to her that we will give a report for of our word. Tanya, you are a mother, you have children and grandchildren you have those for whom you need to pray. I searched God 42 years ago, and I asked believers how to deed correct, and they told me to pray God, and read the Bible, and you will find out that God loves you.
In the fourth picture, we visited a former class teacher, Stella. When I bring my daughters to the school I meet Stella and pray about her health, wisdom and patient for children. She doesn't mind and even more, she says that feels how it helps her. We invited them to the Church.
Please pray for all these people that I met in the village.
We learn the book of Psalm with the church.
May God bless all of you, our American brothers and sisters. We love you, we value you and pray for you. Thanks for everything that you do for us!
With love, pastor missionary, Vasily Preutesa
