Eric Fowler's Report #4 from Ukraine.



Report # 4 from Eric and Marge Fowler.

 War is smashing homes lives and the whole nation; very very sad. Prices as just unbelievable, the rich are taking advantage of the poor without mercy.
 
 March 9
 Again we like to thank all the Lord's dear people for praying for us at this unique time in the Ukraine. Another wave of calling up young me to the army has started and will continue until April 20th as far as I can learn.
Great  Britain  is in the news for giving 20 armed vehicles to the  Ukraine. Prayer is very
necessary for the whole of Europe. 
It's a great joy to be in the Lord's army, bringing words of PEACE and deliverance to the people. 
I said in my last report that this is a great warfare for the souls of people, for sure. 
HE THAT WINNETH SOULS IS WISE Prov. 11. Amazing that Our Great God can use us in our generation.

 The morning started quietly with reading and prayer together.
 We went and picked up Leanna and she came to our apartment to help my wife sort clothing.
 No boxes have arrived yet since we came so pray with us that this will happen in the next few days.  Leanna's daughter came for noon lunch and we played a few games with them .Then came the news that  Luba had fallen this morning and broken her leg.  I shared the details in my last report. We went directly to the hospital and got crutches for her and pain pills that she needed.   She cried much in Hospital about not being able to help We took her home and got her safe in her apartment, but with great difficulty as the steps to her place are very bad. 

 We then went to see Tanya's grandmother, her mom and her 4 brothers.  One of her brothers was out to meeting on Sunday and also her mom. Left help with her grandmother for medicine.  Tried to tell her of the forgiveness of sins through Christ, but it was very hard as religion has blinded her eyes.

We then went with Oleg and Ola and their son and his wife. We had a nice visit as it was Oleg's birthday. They need much prayer as we have known them since 2005 but they are slow in growing spiritually.

Another day over and very tired.

March 10.

 We picked up Leanna and went to the Orphanage here in town. They have 35 children most
of them, for a long time.  We took oranges and candy to them. I spoke to them about the Jesus being the Light of the world. I asked if we went on a camping trip what would be nice to have?  One thing they said is a LIGHT, so told them about Jesus being the Light and the word of God being our light. I told little of my family and of Canada.  They asked many questions. Then had tea with the head lady Oxana and asked about any need in the place. Some of them had no shoes so will take the lady from there on Thursday. and get sneakers for them all. Then she told us of a very poor invalid lady, near the home who has nothing. We will buy food for her tomorrow.  Then we went paid for invitations we got printed for the meetings we are having each week and ordered some signs and texts we needed. We then went to the street and gave out few hundred invitations with Sasha and my wife.
We then went with Leanna and got food for Luba and family and took it to them. Then my wife and Leanna and Luba's daughter came to apartment to make some supper and I finished preparing for meeting. Voladima and Sasha went and washed van. 
Went to meeting at six. We had 31 out, which was great for sure. 
From meeting we went and visited Tanya's mom and her 3 brothers. Her oldest brother is gone to the war front with a group taking supplies of food, medicine and clothing to the soldiers. Very sad times here and need much prayer.

 Labourers together for the LORD.
