A family is on the way to God

Peace to you all brothers and sisters of the PIEI mission and to Stef's family. All churches from Ukraine wish God's blessings.

After the service in the Vovchanets church, I had an opportunity to walk on the streets of the village. And I met one family Tihu Ivan 66 years old and Maria she is 64. By side of their house, we discussed the time we live in. They know about God, they attended the church before the pandemic. They asked about my health and were wonder how I am bold to speak with people on the street, I sing, pray, tell the poems and invite them to the church. I replied Praise the Lord for His mercy, He heals me and gives me strength to do that. It is written in the Bible: Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

40 years ago they testified to me about God with no hesitate so now I need to do the same. Pray that God opens to you His peace. Let's sing a psalm "Repent while you have consciousness". Maris was crying while I sang. I asked them to not play with God because they gave to the devil so many years of their lives. God loves you and calls you. So accept His invitation. Come to the church, not hesitate, I pray about your family.

In the second picture, I am at the funeral in Marshintsi village. Sister Darina died who was 92 years old. I with the brother Valery Popov preach on this service. There was a crowd of people, relatives of Darina were attentive to the Word God and psalms.

We pray about these people may God reveal their minds and souls.

I send a lot of verses from the Bible to all my contacts in Viber. Many friends are thankful for them. And others were wondered how I spiritually support their families to not enter hell. One family said that they read Bible every day and started to pray how they can.

We have the Bible parse of Psalm in our church.

Prayer needs:

1. Pray for Tihu`s family may God lead them on the path of truth.

2. Pray for those who were at that funeral may the Word of God touches their hearts.

I am thankful to all brothers of the mission PIEI for your prayers and your financial support, and that you worry about our mission. I wish you health, happiness, faith, and love!

With love to you my precious brothers in Christ, missionary Vasiliy Preutesa.

People need Christ

We have an Easter holiday so we have a good opportunity to talk with people about Christ and His resurrection.

In the picture I am with Sergey, he is the director of the pub. Sometimes he meets my granddaughters on their birthday. I told him about God, who is God, why people do not fear Him and do not seek Him? He answered that he believes in God like his parents. I attend the Temple on Easter and Christmas and I pray as I can. I am not an atheist. I started to talk to him from the very beginning of the creation, Adam, Abraham, and then about Jesus, His suffering, and resurrection. He was very attentive and asked some questions. He was wondered and analyzed himself. I told him that once I was like him and did not know God and thought that my traditions led me to paradise. But then I met believers who showed me the truth. I sought God and I had found it. It is 40 years how I serve God. Read the Bible, pray and seek God. I gave him my number so he can call me any time when he has some questions. I invite him to the church and promised to pray for him and his family.

In the second picture, I am at the gas station with one father and son, Roman Igor and Alex. Igor works as a guard and Alex is a clerk. When I had refueled my car with gasoline I started to talk with them. I asked them how did they celebrate Easter, do they read the Bible, and do they pray to God? We visit every Christmas yous house with the carols but still don't want to accept Him. Igor asked me how am I feeling? I replied that I live by the grace of God as every one of us. I testified to them about my spiritual life and read many verses from the Bible. I told them how God helps me to overcome the problems in my life. I encouraged them to read the Bible and pray that God reveals Himself to them and all their family recognize God. When you have done this you will never regret that. Call me when you need some spiritual help, we can meet any time and pray together.

Please pray for Sergey, Igor, and Alex, and for all their families.

Pray for me and my health.

Pray for the awakening of our villages.

I am thankful to all brothers of the mission PIEI for your prayers and your financial support, and that you worry about our mission. I wish you health, happiness, faith, and love!

With love to you my precious brothers in Christ, missionary Vasiliy Preutesa.

The risen Christ for the fallen people

Peace to you brothers and sisters of the mission PIEI and Stef family from a missionary from Ukraine. God bless you!

In April by God`s grace I had many meetings with people despite the restrictions and prohibitions caused by the pandemic.

When I was driving three men had stopped me and asked me to pick up them to the town of Novoselitsa. When they had got in the car, they listened to the Christian song about the resurrection on the tape recorder. So they learned out that I am a Christian. During the trip that was thankful that I took them. Because many cars drove by and had not taken them. One of them, Grigoriy, said: It is a wonderful song of the resurrection. The second one is Vasiliy, a lawyer, who said: when I hear such a song I feel the goosebumps. And the third one Ivan said: It is not easy to be a Christian. Then I asked them: Do you want me to tell you about risen Christ during the way to the Novoselitsa? And they replied: Yes, of course. I prayed to God in my mind and asked Him the Holy Spirit speak through me to these people. Throughout our trip, for about 20 minutes I told them where Jesus came from and what the goal with? Why did He heal, suffer, die on the cross, and resurrected from the dead on the third day, what does He want from us? They prolong to listen to me even for 10 minutes after we came to the city. I asked them to read the Bible and pray to God and open their hearts to Him. I told them that I will pray for them may they learn out the risen Christ.

In the second picture is Vera Dubinskaya she is the seller of the store. I had bought some goods I asked her why do we greet each other Christ is risen - truly resurrected? She replied I greet like everyone. There were no buyers so we could talk about that. Then I explained to her about the falling of the man and how far they went from God. Through a woman came sin and through a woman came salvation. She was really wondered, she said I am forty years and did not know that/ it is very interesting to me, please continue Vasiliy. I addressed to her to read the Bible with her husband, please. Come to the church and may God resurrect in your hearts too.

Please, pray for these passengers and for the family of this woman may God open their hearts.

In the church, we study many verses from the Bible of the resurrection for ourselves and to share with others.

Pray for the people to whom I have told about Christ.

Please pray for my health, I had many surgeries and my colon is very weak. I take expensive medicines to stop the infection of my stomach.

I am thankful to all brothers of the mission PIEI for your prayers and your financial support, and that you worry about our mission. I wish you health, happiness, faith, and love!

With love to you my precious brothers in Christ, missionary Vasiliy Preutesa.

The door to the heaven

Peace to you brothers and sisters of the mission PIEI and Stef family from a missionary from Ukraine. God bless you!

We pray that God opens people`s hearts to listen to the Word of God.

I was invited to the school to put there a new door together with the parent's community.

In this picture is a classroom teacher Mosei Roman. He is a geography teacher. One another man Zenoviy Preutesa he is a carpenter. And Eddy Korbu is a member of the parent's community. It took about two hours to put on a new door. Zenoviy asked why Ukraine is so rich but people suffer and go abroad for a job? I prayed that God gives the answer and build the conversation with all of them. I told them: guys, everything is under God`s control. If people read the Bible, pray to the Lord, seek Him, and reconcile with Him, He would change all circumstances in the world. Think for a while, if all people on the earth were true believers the prisons would be empty, no courts, no police and borders would be open, no nursing houses, no orphanages, no ills, no hospitals, no divorces, no burglaries, no thieves, but only peace and calm in Jesus Christ. Every one of us would be brothers and sisters and Christ is our elder brother. So God calls us to reconcile with Him. Neither icons, nor children baptism, nor cross sign doesn't help if we don't call Christ in our life. I pray for you all may God give you His peace to your hearts as He had made for me before. Read the Bible, pray, and come to the church, because the coming of Christ is soon.

In the second picture, I drove one man Gregory Petrenko. I turned on the radio tape recorder with the Esperansa group that sang about the second advent of Christ. He realized that this song is about God and asked me are you a believer? I responded Yes, I am. These songs are soulful, calm my soul and reach out to heaven. Gregory, do you have the Bible? Do you read it? Ask me if have don`t understand something in it. If you scary or shame to go to the church alone I will go together with you. Such a short dialog with him can change his life completely.

For a year of this pandemic, I talk with a hundred people per day through online messengers. I send them verses from Bible and psalms. They reply me thank you for your spiritual support and you direct us to God.

Prayer needs:

- Pray for the teacher of geography Mosei Roman, Zinoviy, Eddy, Yuriy

- Pray for all my friends that are open to listening to God through the messengers.

I thanks the mission PIE for spiritual and material support. We pray about you, your families, and your work in God`s field.

With love to you my precious brothers in Christ, missionary Vasiliy Preutesa.

The Gospel on the streets

Peace and grace to all brothers of the mission PIEI, to Stef's family, and to all who support us in our ministry.

Even in that pandemic, with God`s help, I found people who want to know God. In this picture is Ivan Fedorenko. We are close to his house. We met there and started to talk. He is 68 years old. We are familiar for a long time and he said to me: It is so scary what is going on in the world. I explained to him that God loves people but they don`t love him. Everything is going in the world is in His control. People don`t pray, don`t want to know Him, and they are sunk in their sin. I talked with him for about an hour. I told him about grace and the court of God. Ye asked me why there are so many confessions, why do we not bow before icons, and why do we not wear a cross sign on our neck? I answered him with many verses from Bible. In the end, I prayed for him and his family. I invited him to the church and encouraged him to pray and to read the Bible.

In the second picture, I am in the family Zara in the Vanchekauts village. Her name is Maria and she is 72 and her son Nick is 40. But he rejected to make the picture with us. Nick told me that he has big trouble because his wife wants to divorce. What have I to do? I had read the Bible "Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." (Mk.10:9) When we pray to Him and trust Him with our soul He resolves all our problems. Maria had attended the church before and she has three sons. "Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near." Maria told me that she often prays and does not know to which church she needs to go. I replied to her "Just say to Jesus come to my heart and then you will realize and choose God`s path". We had a long spiritual conversation and then we prayed to God.

In the third picture, I am at the gas station and I talked with the assistant Yuriy Muntian when he had time. I asked him does he have the Bible and read it? Does he know that God loves him and wants to reconcile with you? I told him that I was young like him as well and I lived just for myself and then I realized that God loves me. Then he asked me why people so hate each other. I told him that without God we can not resolve any issues. Trust to God and pray to Him. Then I invited him to the church.

We have the parse of the Bible and the Psalms.

Please pray for Ivan Fedorenko, for Zara`s family, for Hick and Yuriy may God lead them to the true way.

Pray for my diseases may God bless my body.

Thank you for everything to Stef and Golston families for your support of my ministry.

With love to you my precious brothers in Christ, missionary Vasiliy Preutesa.

Peace to you brothers and sisters who are participates in a prayer for our misionaries, who support us with fanance and medicine. We send you a big Christian greeting from out churches in Vovchanets and Vanchakauts villages.

In this picture is Monzatu family, Alexanru who is 95 years old and his daughter Larisa who is 58. I came to them for attendance. This is family that accept and open to the Word of God. There are not so many famlies who is so interested issues of salvation and God.

Alex overcome a war, when he was in the trenches and he prayed God and pleaded Him to save his life because a lot of soldates died close to him. He told about starving in 1947-48 years in the Bukovina. I read them prophet Isaia "Seek Lord when you can find Him". The day comes when call of God will stop and the grace will take back. There is written in Amos: Word of God would take back from the earth and people would looking for it but it woul be late already. I ask them to reconcile with God, repentant and beilive in God. Seek the Kingdom of God and everything shall be added unto you. We talked about an hour, I asked them many questions, I told them about God`s love, His Kingdom, and about true path. They sing together with me some songs. I prayed with them and invited them to the church.

We have the research of the Bible with our church.

Please pray for this Monzatu family about their salvation.

Pray that God takes away fear of the virus in our brothers and sisters and they could come to the church.

I wish you a health to all of you brothers from USA. Let God give to all of us courages and power of Holly Spirit to spread the Gospel. Thank you for everything to Stef and Golston families fpr your support of my ministry.

With love to you my precious brothers in Christ, missionary Vasiliy Preutesa.

Meetings with the businessman`s families

To my dear brothers in Christ, to the mission PIE and Stef family, peace and grace to all of you!

In this month we were invited to the house of one businessman Alex and his wife Stella. I came to them with my granddaughters to tell them about Christ and His birth because across the road there live Egova's Witness family. They celebrate neither Christmas nor Easter. So we chanted carols as loud as we could in their front yard. Then they invited us to their house. We sang some chants and they asked many questions. Alex has a building company, he lived with Stella for 40 years already, they have twin sons for 13 years old. They went to the Boian camp a couple of years ago. They have a daughter of 16 years and once she visited our camp in Boian too. So, they know about God, I need to talk more with them about Him.

In the other picture, there is the Bezushko family. Vladimir is a businessman, he cooperates with Portugal, his wife Silvia is a teacher of the primary school. They invited us because they do like it when we tell the poems and carols. We talked with them about God, an eternity, love, and the court of God. We invited them to the church and then prayed with them for their family.

God blessed us in this month, despite the pandemic we went from home to home and preach the Gospel with my granddaughters Julia and Valery.

We continue to commit the researching the Bible with our church. We read together, pray and I answer questions.

Prayer needs:

• Please, pray for these families, may God open their spiritual eyes to the spiritual world.

Carols for the teacher

To my dear brothers in Christ, to the mission PIE and Stef family, peace and grace to all of you!

We wish a happy 2021, a belief and trust in God, health, patience, success on the mission field. May a lot of people birth from heaven, may more children and youth fill the churches.

Due to the quarantine, we could not go from house to house and chant the carols as we did before. President had given an order to not gather crowds on the holidays. Every year I carol with my granddaughters for teachers, businessmen, doctors, and heads. This year we were invited to the house of teachers. In this picture are me, my granddaughters Valery and Julia, and their teacher Paladiy Stella and her husband Valery. We sat at the table and talked with them about the winter holidays what is to celebrate and what is not. I am their regular guest, we read the Bible and I tell them how God loved me, how I meet Him, and how I converted. Now I am so happy to tell them about Him, about salvation and the Love. I never had sorry that I met God in my youth.

I sang the songs together with them, I pray for them asking God to open their hearts. They came to a couple of times to the evangelizations and baptisms.

We have the Bible research of the Psalm book in the church. All members of the church are involved in this meeting, they ask questions and I answer to them.

Prayer needs:

1. For Paladiy family may these teachers come to God.

2. For all families we visited with carols may God knocks to their hearts.

We are thankful for all God's blessings, for brothers of mission PIEI for everything they are doing for us.

With love to you my precious brothers in Christ, missionary Vasiliy Preutesa.

Let Jesus will birth in their hearts

Peace to you brothers and sisters who pray for our missionaries, our ministry, and spiritual and financial support for extending the Good News in Ukraine. Greetings to the mission PIEI and Stef family, thank you for your deposit in our ministry.

At the beginning of 2021 days are short and people stay at home and they afraid to talk with others due to the virus. Thanks, Lord that I could go on streets and homes and found people who want to learn out about God. This is Voronin's family grandma Valia and grandson Dmitriy, they know that I am a missionary, I asked them how was their 2020? And how they are in general? Did you thank God for everything that He had given to you in 2020? And then I asked do they know what does mean Christmas and who was born on this day? Then I explained to them in their yard who is God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit, and why he calls us to repentance. Why he was born in the barn and manger, why he died on the cross giving his life for us sinners. After this conversation, the questions were started. As a consequence of the pandemic people afraid to go to the orthodox church because they don't want to get infected with the virus. But when you go from home to home you can find open people who thirsty for the Word of God. Valia and Dima asked me: If God is love so why He permit the virus, disease, wars, dies, earthquakes, thunderstorms, hurricanes, droughts? Why God permits so many injustices when people steal, kill and become millionaires but others are poor, don't have money to pay the bills? How does God look at this? I replied that is very good when they ask the questions because it means that they want to know more about God. I explained to them that what you sow you will reap. People don`t have fear of God and the beginning of wisdom is a fear of God. People don't want to meet God and to know personally who he is in reality. Read the Bible and you will find out why we suffer and die. The Bible is the compass that shows the way to heaven. Once I did so and I found God and now I am happy with Him. Come to the church, don`t afraid of the virus, God loves us and protects us.

Please, pray for this family, they are close to God. Bear them to God in your prayers.

Pray that I can go to different homes and sing with my two granddaughters Julia and Valery.

We are thankful for all God's blessings, for brothers of mission PIEI for everything they are doing for us.

With love to you my precious brothers in Christ, missionary Vasiliy Preutesa.

Showing the path to God

This letter is about the mission work on the Bukovina region due to the sharing Gospel with the support of the mission PIEI and Stef family. We are very thankful to all brothers that participate in the mission that pray for us. I send a Christian and sincere greeting to you from the Vovchanets and Vanchakauts churches.

We pray to God this winter that the people of our region fear God more than the virus covid-19 and they come to our church.

Every week we study the Bible and help people to understand God`s will, So they can explain many issues to their unbeliever relatives at home.

This month I had an opportunity to talk with the seller of the store who didn`t understand what is hell and paradise, sin and repentance, punishment and revival from heaven?

In this picture is Vera Kolorash she is a seller, I met her when I bought hygiene products. I talk with her often and she attended some services with her husband Vasiliy 48 years old. They have two daughters who like to listen to the Word of God. I always pray for their needs and problems. Vera is shy but she knows how to ask questions. I explained to them before what is baptism by faith and why we don`t kiss icons and don`t bear crosses on the neck. They are close to the kingdom of God. Their friends laugh at them that they want to become Christians. I told them that I experienced this too but regardless I seeked the Lord and believed Him.

Prayer needs:

1. Pray for this family Vasiliy and Vera and for their daughters may they find Jesus Christ.

2. Pray for our citizens they stop afraid of the pandemic and start to afraid of God and come to the church.

3. Pray for those who attended our congregation before and then stoped.

We are thankful for all God's blessings, for brothers of mission PIEI for everything they are doing for us.

With love to you my precious brothers in Christ, missionary Vasiliy Preutesa.
