Through God's power and help I was able to visit the Tereblecia church eight times. I preached 5 times and I had 3 Bible studies on 2 Timothy. One afternoon I talked with a young man who was 20 years of age and explained the Gospel to him. He came to the church one Thursday evening and repented. This year the Lord gave repentance to 3 young men in our church. Now I teach them the basic doctrines and I am preparing them for baptism.

On July 12 we will have a baptismal service and an evangelistic outreach. Please pray for this ministry that the Lord will save other young people from the village. We printed 200 invitations and 10 posters for inviting people to hear the Gospel. After every Sunday service I counseled 15 persons and prayed with them. Then I visited 10 people for prayer and reading of the Bible. With some guests from USA we visited people in the village. They gave food to 32 poor families and we ministered to the children for 2 days. We thank the Lord and the guests from USA and Romania for the beautiful ministry. We also organized 2 massive evangelisms, one in the house of a lady from the church and one in the church. 5 persons came to each evangelistic outreach. We pray for them to repent. I had several counseling meetings with 2 young couples who want to get married. Next month we will have a wedding. We rejoice over these 2 events. In this village there is a young woman that heard the Gospel in Rovno city. She studies there and she repented. She came home during the summer and started to attend our church. Her family is against her as they persecute her. They forbid her to come to church and force her to go to the disco club. But she sticks to the Lord. Please pray for this young woman, Lena and for her family. Thus my involvement in this village ended. Praise the Lord for all the blessings that he blessed us with!

God's ministry in Cernauti area

I visited 4 churches in Cernauti area: Ciudei, Cernauti, Marsinta, Tarasauti, Pueni and Poleana. I preached and I counseled different missionaries and pastors. I had to organize a 3 days conference with the missionaries and pastors from the region along with the brothers from USA and Romania. It was tiresome, but it was worth it. Praise the Lord for the wonderful time at the conference. We pray that God will bless all those that visited and ministered to us. I also had 6 meetings with different missionaries for prayer, counselling and planning the ministry. Because the church in Pasat undergoes this persecution from the orthodox priest I went with 3 members to testify at the police station. The Lord was with us and gave us good words.
