Church Closed Down by Separatist Government in Eastern Ukraine

Just yesterday authorities unexpectedly walked into “New Life Church” in Makeevka and evicted the Church from their facility. We received the following letter from Pastor Alexsander Moseychuk, he also posted it on his Facebook page here.

Please pray for “New Life Church” as they will be gathering without a building tomorrow!

“June 6, 2018 our church, which is located on the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic was left without a church building. Around noon seven representatives of the government, including armed men, told us that our building no longer belonged to us. Despite all our attempts to convince them otherwise or come up with an agreement the building was sealed shut.

During these 4 years of war more than 700 people have received spiritual material and help. Every Sunday people heard the Living Word of God. Many of them repented of their sins and some are preparing for baptism. In addition to the spiritual food, the hungry have also received bread, the naked have been clothed, and those without shoes have been given shoes.

This Sunday about 120 people will come to the gates of the Church… what next? There are many thoughts and worries. What should the Church do now? Is this really the beginning of persecution? I need wisdom and God’s leading.”

“06 июля 2018 г. наша Церковь «Новая Жизнь» г. Макеевка, которая находится на территории ДНР, осталась без церковного здания. Около полудня приехали семь представителей власти, среди них были люди вооруженные, и сказали, что наше здание нам больше не принадлежит. Не смотря на все уговоры и переговоры, здание было опечатано.
За 4 года войны более 700 различных людей получили духовную и материальную помощь. Каждое Воскресенье люди слушали живое слово Божие, многие из них покаялись в своих грехах, и есть те, которые собираются принять водное крещение. Кроме духовной пищи голодные получали хлеб, раздетые одежду, а разутые – обувь.
В Воскресенье к воротам Церкви подойдёт около 120 человек… что дальше? Много мыслей, волнений и переживаний. Как дальше вести Церковь? Неужели это только начало гонений? Нуждаюсь в мудрости и водительстве Божьем.”
