I bless the Lord because He gave me the grace to be His servant here in Ukraine. God bless you all who support us either financially or in prayer. We are coworkers with in the mission field. I am honored to share how God used me this month. We had a profitable time here regarding the evangelistic visitations. The turnout was so encouraging. I can say we can finally see the answers to our prayers for the unsaved. It had been years since anyone had become a Christian in the villages where I work. It seemed to be a general state in all the churches from this area. And this hurts the most. The needs of the ministry and the challenges we face are are bigger and bigger. We tried to have evangelistic events in all the three villages where I serve but no unbeliever showed up. These services were open for the church members too. Pastors from Romania came here on this occasion. This thing motivated me and the church from Grusevca to pray more and to be more active in doing evangelism. I am grateful to the Lord that after 7 years when no one came to the Lord. a woman from the village started to come. She said she found peace for her soul here. Her name is Savta. She had many disappointments in life and her marriage is a wreck. Her husband is an alcoholic and doesn't provide for the family even though they have eight children. Savta feels that the fellowship is good for her and our church family is encouraged to see her. Another family that used to come to church but stopped for a while decided to come back. We started to work with six families of unbelievers from the village. They've had a good attitude towards the gospel so far even though they made no decision regarding receiving Christ as their Savior. THE MINISTRY IN PASAT The situation is pretty much the same but the spiritual state of the church is a little different. The church members are a little immature and sometimes make mistakes that damages the church's reputation. This is the bad side of the ministry in Pasat. But we still got in touch with new people with whom we shared the gospel. They liked what they heard but still they didn't come to church. The people in this village would not come to church because of the man who owns the house where we get together there. He is a member of the church but his life is not worthy of the gospel. We look forward to being able to start the work and build something so that we would no longer depend on others' places. THE MINISTRY IN MOLODIA The situation here is a little difficult too, but in a way, I could say things have had a good turn. Even though several people left and joined the Pentecostal church, at least I can rely on those who chose to stay. We are now working on a project with the youth where we want to go out and reach this generation with the gospel. No one had ever worked with the young people here before and there is a great need. This is the vision I have for Molodia. I managed to put together a group of young people who would be willing and interested in working in this area. As a team, we are ready to start this project. The problem that we face is the lack of a building, A Christian brother said that we might use one of his rooms. Another thing about the youth ministry is a Bible study that brother Ion G and I would like to implement in the churches where we work. We came to the sad conclusion that the young people from our churches knew many things but not as much of the Word of God. This is why we think it is necessary and urgent that we should assist the young people in our churches to know, to love and live the Word. Thank you once again for your prayers and your financial support. It gives us the opportunity to serve the Lord and the people here.
