Pastor Conference

I am grateful to God that all the circumstances in my life were for success, for preaching the word of God.

I want to thank everyone who prays for my ministry, which I perform with my family.

This month, on April 13, I organized the Pastor Conference, with pastors of the churches of Novoselitsky District. I held this conference in the Church of Emanuel, in which the pastor is Popov Valery. I taught them lectures on the subject: The Sermon on the Mount, with the goal that all Pastors would be role models in their churches, so that they would have the righteousness of Christ, and not the scribes and Pharisees.

And this month, I distributed seeds in 18 churches, for the poor, to plant their fields.

In the future, with God's help, I want to spend two large-scale evangelizations, in connection with the Easter holiday.

Brothers and sisters, I want to greet you with the feast of the Resurrection of Christ, with the words: Christ is Risen, Christ is truly Risen.

Thank you for your prayers and for the material support that helps me in serving here in Ukraine. Be blessed.

Yours faithfully, Missionary PIE Ukraine, Pavel Petihachny.

Reaching young families

I am very grateful to God that He helped me this month to accomplish the work of God with my family. I am grateful to all those who support us in their prayers.

This month, I served on the field of God with young families from our church in Nesvoya, who help me to bring other unbelieving families to God. We conducted with this team of families, three evangelizations this month. Afterward, one family of unbelievers joined the believing families, pray for them, please.

This month I visited three small churches, and for the future, I want to help poor people with seeds so they can sow their fields.

Thank you for your support, and may the Lord bless you.

The Gospel for the orphans

Thanks to God that He uses me, to proclaim the Gospel throughout Ukraine, we are also grateful to those who pray for us so that we can achieve this goal with God's help. We send greetings and grateful to Kim and Erik von Oeyen that especially help us in our ministry.

 My whole family help me to proclaim the Gospel, for example, this month on March 19, we organized Evangelization in an orphanage and boarding school in Sadgora, Chernivtsi City. We prepared a spiritual program for them, as well as gifts with fruit, sweets, stationery goods they needed.

This Evangelization, we held in the power of the Holy Spirit, the children were pleased with this spiritual program and sweet gifts. The head of the boarding school was especially grateful to Kim and Erik for their help in the stationery and gifts, because the children needed them very much.

All children shouted together like a choir “Thanks the Lord and you!”. After this, they prayed the prayer “Our Father” and sang together a song “God`s love is high like a sky”.

This month, I spent a lot of mini Evangelizations, and next month I plan to work with young families.

Thank you for your prayers and for the material help that helps me in the ministry.

The teaching of the Holy Spirit

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (Jn.5:39)

From 4th to 14th of March I taught the students of Biblical Institute with the session of “Difficult points of Bible”. The main subject was the doctrine of the baptism with the Holy Ghost. This theme is very hard to understand and many churches have different interpretations of it. But we want members of churches to have one and true comprehension.

I think that this topic has to unite the youth and elders in understanding what we received and what we have with Holy Spirit whose we accepted after repentance.

Afterward, we have to fill with the Holy Spirit every day.

Sincerely,

P. Petihachny

Planning mission for the summer

15th of March there was the meeting of the missionaries of PIEI Ukraine at “Emanuel” church in Novoselitsa town. Every of missionaries had an opportunity of making the report of his ministry for three months of this year. Also, we had the planning mission of PIEI Ukraine for the summer of the 2019 year. There are going to be conducted such events: Massive evangelizations, Children Christian camps, Youth Christian camp (Non-Stop), which is planned for from July 29 till August 3. We prayed together about all these ministries, that God blessed us on these events and the name of the Lord would have gloried.

“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” (Jn.15:5)

We are nothing without Him. So, we rely on His power and grace.

Please, pray for us and these ministries.

Sincerely,

P. Petihachny

Evangelism from house to house

In February I held the Communion in three churches: in Nesvoia, Zhilovka and the First Church in Chernovtsy. I also visited the sick members of those churches who are bound to bed and cannot attend the church services. I shared the Communion with them and held mini-evangelisms in their homes at which lots of their unsaved relatives were present. After the evangelisms the relatives asked me lots of questions concerning the faith in God and I praise the Lord that two people accepted the Lord in the end.

I and my wife visited many churches in our district and held meetings for ladies. At each of the meetings they prayed for the missionary work in our country. We hope for a spiritual awakening in our churches after the ladies’ prayers. 

I was invited to preach at a pastor’s funeral in a neighboring village, called Kotileu. A lot of listeners came to the funeral and could hear the Gospel. We pray for each person who heard the Word of God o be touched by the Holy Spirit.

In March we are planning to visit an orphanage in the outskirts of Cherivtsy called Sadgora. We wished to do this ministry last month but all the institutions in our region were closed on quarantine for three weeks due to the flu in the region. Please pray for this ministry in March.

Pray for me to be able to teach from March 4th to March 14th at the Bible Institute the Scripture: heavy Texts in the Bible. It is a very important session and it should be taught very well. 

Upcoming Elections

Thank you for your prayers and for the financial help that is of great help to me in the Lord’s ministry. Pray for Ukraine, for the election of the new president in Ukraine that will be on March 31th, that the Lord will put on people’s heart to choose a president with the fear of God, full of God’s wisdom and to be a man according to the heart of God. We hope that the Lord will work in a wonderful way in this case. 

Receive lots of greetings from my family. Be blessed! 

Best wishes, Pavel and Larisa Petihachny
