They need Jesus

Peace and grace to all brothers and sisters who spread the Gospel and the love of our God. God bless you all missionaries and our mission PIEI that supports us in Ukraine.

It is not so easy to find people who want to speak about God. I try to catch them on the streets, at houses, at benches, at stores. People are scared to have contact with somebody because they are afraid of the virus. I always ask God to give even one person.

So I met Adrian and his step-father Grigoriy. I greeted them and asked how they feel themselves. They told that prices increased and no work. They were wondered why does it happen because Ukraine has everything it needs. I explained that everything is under God`s control. People don't seek and love God that`s why they lie, steal and murder each other. Salmo said: "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." Adrian and Grigoriy you are young, I wish you read the Bible every day "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life".

Dear ones, do not joke with God. I told them that I was indifferent to God, but some believers were founded on my way, and they told me about God. I read Bible and believed in God, I didn`t look at people, because found out that every man will give the report of his own life before God on judgment day. It does not depend on race, age, nationality, wealth, education. After our death, we get into the judgment. I will pray for you dears, and for your families may you become to know God.

Prayer needs:

1. For these guys, Adrian and Grigoriy, may they find Christ.

2. For our churches and spiritual health

We pray for you and your families, for everyone who belongs to the mission PIEI. We bless you and wish health, faith, boldness to Gospel. We love you and appreciate you.

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

He is alone and in need

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

In the first picture, I am with Svitlana and her daughter Kristina. Svitlana came recently from Italy and her daughter works as a laboratory assistant at the school. Svitlana attends the orthodox church but her husband does not. But they don't mind talking about God. At one of the holidays they were sitting on the bench, I saw them and came closer. I asked them about the meaning of the holiday but they could not explain. So I started to tell them that only the Bible is our constitution of God and we need to keep it but not the people's traditions. Then I told them how to read the Bible, how to pray and worship God. Then I testified how I came from traditions to God. They listened attentively and asked some questions. I told them that I pray for them, that God open them the truth and they become Christians. I invited them to our church.

In the other picture I am in Vanchakauts, I saw this man alone at his house and I came to him. His name is Sergey and he is 67, he had several wives, but now he is in divorce and has no children. I told him that God loves him, and he is not alone and how I came to God and how I am happy now. II encourage him and invited to the church. He asked me to pray for him because he is in a difficult situation and he is needed no one. You will have a lot of friends if you come to God's family.

Prayer requests:

1. For those two women and their families may they come to God.

2. For Sergey who needs help and attention, may he find it in God.

3. For the awakening of our 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.

They asked to pray for them

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:

1. Pray for Nina, Antonina, Alex and their families. May God reveal Himself for them.

2. 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.

A family at the gas station

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

As I am friendly I talk many with people on the streets. God gives me opportunities to meet a lot of people whom I can tell about God. I can easily determine how far is a man from God. I always pray for God to give me brave, boldness, and wisdom on how to talk with people.

In this picture, I met Nina Bezushko, her son who works in Lviv as a military doctor. They helped me many years ago to came through many surgeries in Lviv. In the second picture, I am with her son Ivan. Every time I meet them I thank God and them that I left alive. It was a will of God, no one hair doesn`t fall without His will. Their grandfather was a priest and their house full of icons. I opened the Bible in their house and read John 4 about samaritan woman. Truly worship has to be to bow in spirit and truth. The murderer on the cross believed in Christ and he was saved without kissing icons and without a cross sign on the flesh. I told him that he is a good guy, who made a lot of good deeds, but if he does not read the Bible, does not pray to God and does not invite Him to his heart then he will not be saved. He agreed I would pray for him and his mother.

In the third picture, I was at the gas station and fueled my car. I met an assistant there and greet him God bless you. His name is Petr and he was surprised because he never heard greets like this. He said thank you, you believe in God, do you? I replied yes, of course. I prayed to God to help me to build a good conversation with them. His wife Alla works at the cash desk. When I paid for petrol we started to talk with her and Petr. They believe in God like orthodox parish and live as they want. I read them: Seek God and His kingdom for the first of all and everything else will be added. The kingdom has come, repent and believe in the Gospel. I encouraged them to read the Bible and trust God. Then I prayed for them.

Prayer needs:

1. Pray for these families may God open them His peace and they reconcile with God.

2. Pray for the awakening of the Vovchanets and Vanchakauts and of all Ukraine.

3. Pray for my health, I feel pain when the weather changes, I take very expensive medicine.

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.

They begun to read the Bible every day

God's blessings to all you brothers missionaries through the world, the mission PIEI and Stef family. I wish a healthy, faith, boldness, and desire to Gospel through the Holy Spirit.

In this month I could talk with people who know very little about God and who are very close to know God.

In the first picture, I am with Irina. Recently I was in their house and talked with her and her husband about God. Then they were very not happy to talk in the very beginning but I said that I would pray about their health and success in life so then they allowed me to come into the house. We opened the Bible at John 3 about rebirth and God`s love, I told them briefly how man fell and went away from God. And now I met her again she was riding on a bike. She told me that the Bible I gave them last time they read every evening and we pray as you taught us. It is very hard to leave old friends and habits. I told them that when I left old friends then God gave me new ones. I invited her to the church and promised her to pray about them.

In the other picture Anton and Marry. They attend an orthodox church. I read them from the Bible: Seek God while you can find Him. I told them that they would report about their life before God and He doesn`t want the death of the sinner. You are good people but there are many good people who are going to hell. God calls everyone to repentant before Him.

Prayer needs:

1. Pray for these families may God open them His peace and they reconcile with God.

2. Pray for the awakening of the Vovchanets and Vanchakauts and of all Ukraine.

I am grateful to all brothers of the mission PIEI for your support of the little churches. God bless you!

Italian heard about Christ

Peace and grace to all of you brothers and sisters. Thankfully the Holy Spirit leads us in this world and helps us to preach the Gospel to the people who don't know God. I noticed how God give me a lot of people on the street, at the market, at stores to talk with them.

In the first picture, I am in the store in Vanchakauts village where I could talk to people. This is an Italian guy who came to his friends in Ukraine. When I met him in the store and I started to get to know him. The saleswoman knew Italian so she could interpret. He is Josepe Nastroiany, about 70 years old. I asked him: do you believe in God? Yes, I do, I am catholic and attend the temple on holidays - he replied. Then I asked him: Do you have the Bible and do you read it? He said Yes, I do, I put it on the sideboard to not gathering dust, I care about it as sanctity. My parent taught me that if I keep the Bible in safety I would be blessed and have a happy long life. I told him that the Bible is given to us for we parse it. "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." (Jn.5:39) You have to read it and ask many questions to it but not only keep it in the holy place. You need to pray so God opens you His peace and you learn more about Him. We talked with him bout an hour and said that I will pray for him.

In the second picture is Kalinka Pitsen, he is 65. When he had come to the store he heard how I am talking about God with Josepe and he joined us. He asked me why did I take the second baptism, why do I not bear the cross on my neck, why do I not make a cross sign at myself? I told them about repentance, baptism, revival, and love of God. They were wondered to find out these trues. I invited them to the church.

In the third picture, I am with the owner of the store Stella, she was an interpreter. She heard what I talked about the Bible. She knows a lot, I talked to her and her husband a lot about the salvation.

Prayer needs:

1. For Josepe from Italy, for Kalin and Stella. May they get God`s peace and reconcile with God.

2. For awakening in the Vovchanets and Vanchakauts villages, may people fear and seek God.

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.

Gospel in the store

God`s blessings to all of you on God`s field. I wish health, happiness, blessings to all missionaries.

We invited children to come to the camp in Boyan. In the first picture asr two friends from Vovchanets village. Young is Artem, he is 12 years old. His grandparents were believers, they died a couple of years ago. They prayed about their children and all relatives. And now Artem accepted the invitation to the camp. And he invited his friend Bogdan who is 14. His grandma prayed about him too. So after many years, God responded to their prayers. They were happy to be at this camp and they took part in many events. I pray about them they come to Christ.

In the second picture is the family Pantsyr Edik, and Natasha. I know them for a long time. Their grandma is a believer and she often invites them to the church, pray and read the Bible. I talk with Edik and Natasha through the messenger, I send them verses from the Bible and some preaches. They ask me different questions about repentance, baptism, idols, and asked how did I become Christian. They have a store with hats and shirts so every time when I come there I talk with them about God. I prayed with them and invited them to the church.

Prayer need:

1. Pray for those guys who were in the camp, may God directs them to the right path.

2. Pray for Edik and Natasha, may they have the fear of God.

3. Pray for the awakening of the Bukovina.

I am grateful to the mission PIEI, to Stef family for your spiritual and financial support. God bless all missionaries everywhere in the world.

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

Attending a sister and her relatives

Peace and grace to you who pray, worry, and support our missionaries in Ukraine. Wellbeing and health to you, may faith, hope, and love accompany you and your family.

In the first picture, I visited our sister Lida who is 77 years old. She is laying without a move for 2 years. She repented in 2008 and took baptism, she attended the church regularly. She has a lot of diseases and her grandchildren look after her, they are unbelievers.

In the second picture, I am with her grandson Nikolay, he is about 40. His wife asked me to pray for her. Nikolay is often drunk and hits her and make a lot of problems in the family. He is hardworking but when he starts to drink for a couple of weeks he spends all his money.

I attend twice a month our sister Lida and I have the opportunity to talk with Nikolay and Alesia his wife. I tell them about God, sin, salvation, paradise, and God`s love.

Nikolay asked me: How can you not to drink, smoke and cuss out? Because you were like me when you were young. I replied to him: Faith in God keeps me away from these flesh enjoyment. I trust Him and hold His hand and He helped me to get rid of these sins. God loves you and your grandma prays of you that you seek God, love Him, and avoid quarrels, screams, cuss out in your family. Let only peace and consensus be in among you. Nikolay said that he tried to not drink, treated in the hospital but nothing did not help. I said only faith in God can help you.

In the third picture is Vitaliy, he is 33, he was working with wood, I was passing by and stopped to talk with him. When Vitaliy was young he attended the church and he repented on the big evangelization on the stadium in Chernivtsi. But then his friends from a school convinced him to not go to the church. I tell him what is waiting for those who don't obey God. He knows a lot from Bible. Recently he married Marina, who is 32. I told him that I make this picture and many people will pray about you and your wife. He agreed and was thankful for that.

Prayer needs:

1. Please, pray for all these people whom I met and talked to. May God opens their heart and they come to Jesus.

2. Pray for Artem and Bogdan who were in the camp may they have the desire to come to the church.

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.

Father`s prayer is powerful

Peace and grace to all brothers and sisters who work in the field of God. We had two holidays this month July 7 is the birthday of John Baptist and July 12 is The Day of Saint Peter and Paul. People don't work on such days.

In the first picture I talk with Alex, he is the son of our brother Vasyl who died 10 years ago. Before his death, he told me that he prays for his family they all reconcile with God. I believe that after I die they will come to Christ. So I talk with Alex now and tell him to read the Bible and pray and prepare to meet his father. I told him about hell and heaven. Jesus said those who believe in Him, repented, and baptize will have eternal life. He promised to read the Bible and to come to the church.

Alex said that his grandson was given an invitation to the camp to Boyany. He liked it and now he is going to go there too. Alex said that he hopes that God answers the father`s prayer and we will come to Him.

In the second picture, I talk with Any and Valya. We talked about pandemic, aloneness, how people went far from God. Anya are you ready to meet Jesus? He is coming for His church. Those who repented, baptized, trust Him, testify Him with no hesitation, will come to heaven. And the others will go to hell, lake with the fire, scary place. You have to trust God, His Word, and come to the church. I will pray for you and your family that you recognize how good He is. God loves you. Choose whom do you want to serve?

We have Bible parse of the Psalm book in the church.

Prayer needs:

1. For Vasyl and his family, especially for their grandson who is going to go to the camp with his friend.

2. For this woman Anya me she comes to Christ

3. For the awakening of our villages of Vovchnets and Vanchakauts. May our church fill up with new people.

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.

Hesitation stop people

Peace to all of you brothers and sisters of the PIEI mission. In June I met a lot of people. In this picture is Dima Stadnic who is the inhabitant of Vovchnets village. When I met him I stopped him and asked where does he go and how is he? He replied that his wife is ill and drunk. It is difficult to find a job for him. I told him you attended the church before but then stopped. The Bible said, "Seek Lord and His kingdom and everything will be given to you". He replied I am more than 30 but I hesitate to come to the church. And my wife hesitates too because our friends laugh at us. I said "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."(Ga.6:7)

Do not hesitate and come to the church, God loves you. I was like you before but I did not look at the people who laughed at me and cursed me. I will pray for your family Dima and you pray too and read the Bible.

In the second picture, we are in Vanchacauts village close to the store. It is Karim Maniatsa who is 68 years old. He asked me how long I am a believer? I said more than 40 years, from my youth. And then he asked Do not I regret that? I replied What did I lose and win? I have a real connection with God, I pray, I read the Bible, sing songs all these make me happy and delight. I have a great family and a lot of brothers and sisters around the world who help me when I need them. We attend to each other and encourage how to love people. We read the Bible and teach the Commandments to avoid sin. Karim God loves you as you are and you will report for yourself before God in the Judge day. You could repent and reconcile with God but did not want it. You will remind even this conversation that I told you about God. When we got outside we spoke a lot of God. I invited him to the church and I showed him a way to God. I would pray for you and your family. Reconcile with God when it is not late.

Prayer needs:

1. For Dima and his family so they do not hesitate to go to the church

2. For Karim and his family may God open them His path

We continue to parse the Psalm with our church.

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.
