Dear brothers and sisters,
The warmest greetings to you in the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! We are grateful to the Lord for this wonderful opportunity to share with you those blessings and prayer needs which we have.
Thank God, that in our family everything is wonderful; children are growing up, my wife feels well, we are very much grateful to you for your prayers and support. It means so much for us during this difficult time. Moreover, my wife is pregnant. There were certain bothers and difficulties, but we hope in our Lord.
In general, our church is doing well. Thank God, we have a good fellow ministry and understanding with deacon Sergei and two other preachers. The special joy and encouragement for me is that for almost two months my father attends our church. There was a time that he led a bad lifestyle, drank and was against my mother attending church services. But now he has transformed entirely. Last Sunday he asked us to pray for him because he wanted to start a new life. It is God’s miracle, and we pray for him and after our prayer I gave him a big hug. It is a great joy for all of us. We Thank God for this miracle!
About two months ago a young woman Tanya repented. She sincerely dedicated her life to the Lord and joined our church team. We encourage her to help in the children’s ministry, where helpers are much needed. We were blessed to hold an evangelistic meeting for children in a public school of the town Lyubar.
It is sad that sometimes people come, we share our love and compassion with them, but then they disappear. It happened with Alexander, about whom I wrote in my previous report. But we keep praying for him and keep helping those who need our help. The Lord said “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” (Galatians 6:9).
Nastya who is from a large family, together with brothers she constantly attends our day center. Their family is at the edge of surviving. These children are in great need. Thanks to the Lord, we were blessed to purchase shoes and required clothes for them.
At present we start a new ministry, which has to encourage people to pray. We place a special tent in the downtown, in which we give prayer books to people – brochures with Psalms. People can give us their prayer requests, we pray for them and build relationships with them. At present this ministry is just starting, therefore we ask you to pray for us, so that God will work in people’s hearts. People are tired of the difficult life and war, and many of them understand how much prayer is needed now. Our churches constantly organize the overnight prayer meetings for Ukraine.
We are so much grateful to you for all that you do for us. Thank you so much for your prayer and financial support. May the Lord bless you, dear friends! We are privileged to serve the Lord together with you. Please, pray for peace in Ukraine.
With love and prayers for you,
Ruslan Buryachok
