LVIV NEWSLETTER – Edmund & Agnes November 2014
Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God,
the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and
keep his commandments to a thousand generations; Deuteronomy 7 v 9.
Greetings to all
We want to thank all for their continued
prayer for the Christians at this time of war in the East of the country. We
along with the Ukrainian people feel the value of perpetual prayer and
remembrance of us all here in Lviv at the throne of Grace. Russian presence in the East is very
unsettling and gives great cause for concern.
During September and October we traveled
south every Tuesday to Ivano Frankivsk
for a gospel meeting. We were
encouraged with an average attendance of 16 and many who are not yet
saved. Please pray for salvation.
In mid October we welcomed to Lviv our
brother Malcolm Stanley (81) and Howard Pratt (72) from Winnipeg and Kirkland
Lake, Canada . Together they had one
week of Gospel meetings in the assembly in Lviv where the gospel was preached
faithfully to many unbelievers over the week and has left them without
excuse. We had many “outsiders” visit
the meetings, as before we gave out many invitations. The meetings were a blessing to the assembly
and we continue to pray that God will work “Salvation belongeth unto the Lord”
Before the commencement of the meetings
Mickola (deaf and dumb) who has attended the meetings for the last 2 years
wrote a note telling us he had “ passed from death unto life”. Ruslan and I had visited him in his home a
few weeks prior to this, reading with him John 5 v 24. To God be the glory.
On the 7th/8th
November we enjoyed our 4th Lviv assembly conference. Our brother Paul McClarty (NI) was
responsible for the gospel meeting, bible reading (1 Timothy 2) and ministry of
the Word of God. It was a real joy and
encouragement to us as he stayed in our home for the week.
Brother Howard Pratt shared in the gospel
meeting on the Friday night when many unsaved were present. The messages were clear and challenging and
Christ exalting.
After lunch on Saturday we had a short time
of singing some choruses with the children who were at the conference-along
with the “big children” who also enjoyed the songs.
On Saturday afternoon Rene Samson (Nova
Scotia), Malcolm Stanley and brother Paul McClarty gave excellent ministry on Prayer,
Romans 12 and Deacons 1st Timothy 3
respectively. This year we had 70 at the
conference, 7 from Slovakia, many from Lutsk, Ivano and Lviv city. It was a wonderful time of fellowship and
sharing together the Word of God.
Sincere thanks to all, for your interest
and support, both in prayer and practically.
Much
love in HIM- Edmund & Agnes.
