WORD OF THE DAY - Tuesday 28 April 2009 from Kiev, Ukraine


"'Should you then seek great things for yourself? Seek them not. For I will bring disaster on all people, declares the LORD, but wherever you go I will let you escape with your life.'" (Genesis 45:5 NIV)

Dear LORD, our Righteous and Kind Father in Heaven ~ Thank you for granting and preserving our lives with your thoughtful providential care. Help us not to concern ourselves with easy and luxurious living. Instead, give us wisdom and courage to give up our personal pursuits and live with faith in Christ where all true blessings are found. In Jesus name, Amen.
Photo: The Children’s Bible Class at Obolon Church of Christ in Kiev meets on Sundays in the 9th floor apartment where we are staying. The church owns this apartment that they make available to visiting missionaries. Their meeting place is used daily and is located on the first floor. We left some small gifts for the children before we left to go across the river to the East Bank area on Sunday. We found these sweet notes from the kids when we returned home Sunday night. One child said simply: “come to Ukraine”.
