I am thankful for God's blessings and opportunities this month to share the Gospel and to work in His field.

God's Ministry in Tereblecia

By the Lord's power and help I visited the church seven times.  I preached four times and I led a Bible study on Romans 11-16. I had more counselling meetings this month as I spoke to 15 people. Some of them reguired three hours for solving problems.  I had to rebuke them and urge them to repent. By the end of our sessions I prayed with each one. I thank the Lord for those who repented.

Lately the church is facing more problems regarding the relationships between children and parents, husbands and wives, neighbors, and relatives. It requires more time for counselling. Please pray that God would give me wisdom. Also, I made pastoral visits to six families.

We had Lord's supper, prayed and read the Scripture in the church. We also had a large evangelistic outreach with a group of people from Germany in the German prayer house. Since they spoke Russian, the program was in their language. We distributed 200 invitations and posted 30 posters. Although no non-believers attended, all the members of the church came. It was a good event for the people.  Lost people are more concerned about their bodies than their souls. We will not stop praying for them and proclaiming the Gospel. We believe that God will search their heart and give them repentance.

God's Ministry in Cernauti

I visited five villages this month where I delivered five sermons on different occasions, led two weddings, conducted two funerals and a baptism. Usually most non-believers come to these events and hear the Gospel. Praise the Lord that I was able to preach the Gospel to over 600 spiritually lost people. As usual, after the services, I talked to people and answered their questions.

I also had the monthly meeting with the missionaries for prayer, Bible study, testimonies from the field and planning the next month's activities. Also, I had 10 meetings with different pastors and missionaries for prayer and personal discussions. Beside spiritual ministry, I spent time working, reading the Bible, praying and reading other books.
