How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the devil; for God was with Him. (Acts 10:38)
O LORD, our only God of refuge and strength! Hear our prayer on this new Lord's day as we assemble with other Christians in sweet Communion. We are indebted to Christ for making it possible for us to receive a full pardon for our sins by His death on that cruel cross. Help us also to remember the great things that He did while upon this earth and give us boldness and wisdom to truly be His followers by going around doing good wherever we find opportunities. In Jesus name, Amen.
We completed our special children's Bible classes on Friday. The last lesson that the children heard from the Bible was about Jesus on the cross. In those 8 intensive days, we covered the Bible in a broad stroke from beginning to end. They all went home with their own copy of the wonderful Children's Bible that is distributed by Eastern European Missions (EEM). They all were very excited about this and could hardly believe it was a gift to them. Saturday afternoon, Galina and I had some things to do at the office before today's worship, and as we were approaching the building where the church meets, one boy once again asked if they needed to pay for the things they received. His mother could not believe that we gave them things to take home!
Saturday afternoon, we had the opportunity to meet with our brother Nikolai, the man who invited us to come to Nikolaev and help begin a church of Christ in this city. We had a nice visit and ate some ice cream together at one of the many sidewalk cafes. We discussed some plans for the work of the church. Thank you for the many prayers! God is good, indeed.
