Dear staff and leadership of the “Good Samaritan” mission, I greet you with the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am immensely grateful to God for granting me the opportunity to join the mission and work together with you.

In March, I had the opportunity to serve in the city of Nemyriv at the church “God is Love,” as well as in the Baptist church in the village of Spodakhy. In the village of Kovalivka, where we purchased a house of prayer to establish a new church, I am currently doing renovation work, getting acquainted with local residents, and building friendly relationships. A small group of young people, consisting of 8 people, is eagerly waiting for the renovations to be completed so we can start holding meetings for them.

At the “God is Love” church, I conducted three youth meetings, which take place on Saturdays at 5:00 p.m. On average, 12–15 people attend these youth meetings, most of whom are non-believers. Together, we praise God with guitar, play games, read the Word of God, and reflect on it. At the end, we always share tea, sandwiches, and sweets. In March, one of the unbelieving young men who began attending our church repented and is now joining the work in my team.

On March 26, I organized a trip to a youth conference in Vinnytsia with the youth. Thirteen people attended the conference. Throughout the month, I participated in Sunday services in Nemyriv, preached twice, and every Sunday praised the Lord with the youth through music. We also visited the sick together with the youth.

Every Sunday I traveled to the village of Spodakhy to conduct services in our small church, which is attended by 8–10 people. In this same village, I delivered humanitarian aid to a poor large family, with whom I have established a friendly relationship. I hope they will begin attending our church in Spodakhy soon.

Once a week, I gather with the brothers I am involving in my team. These are four young men who support and help me in ministry. I try to spend more time with them to strengthen their faith, build unity, and encourage them to serve.

In May, we plan to have the official opening of the house of prayer in Kovalivka. First, I want to start gathering youth for a home group every Sunday at 6:00 p.m., where we will study God’s Word, have fellowship, and simply enjoy time together. Also, during the week, I plan to hold children’s playground events, which we call “Umbrella.” For such events, we set up two trampolines, an inflatable slide, umbrellas with tables and benches.

The core of this program for children and teens is entertainment—games, jumping, running, and crafts—but a Bible lesson is always included. With the arrival of warm weather, I have already been organizing such events every Saturday for the second year at the “God is Love” church.

I kindly ask for your prayerful support so that the Lord continues to bless, provide everything needed for ministry, remove any obstacles, and allow us to move forward, expanding the Kingdom of God.
