WORD OF THE DAY - Monday 23 November 2009




Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with undying love. (Ephesians 6:24)

Благодать со всеми, кто бесконечно любит нашего Господа Иисуса Христа. (К Ефесянам 6:24 Russian SZ)

Most Honorable and Holy God, our Father in Heaven ~ Thank you from the depths of our hearts for your undying love toward us. Give us more capacity to love others that Christ also loves, so that we will be able to more fully love our Savior. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Yesterday was another wonderful Lord's Day with 8 souls gathered for worship. Since it was 10 degrees C, we had no steam heat again and nearly everyone compensated by keeping their coats on the entire time. We shared the last of our little bottles of hand sanitizer. We will be scouting around for more today. After the worship service, everyone was mingling around talking so we sat down and had some tea and coffee. While we were talking together, the phone rang and we had our first response to our advertisements for our English classes. We made an appointment with Dima at 3.00 yesterday afternoon for a get acquainted session. This bright young man came by and had many good questions about faith and the Bible. This was encouraging because at first we thought he was only interested in English. I made certain that he understands that we will be studying English using the Bible. He seemed pleased about that. We have a problem with his time that we will try and work out. He is working in construction projects while trying to improve his chances for a better job abroad. He doesn't get off work until 6.00. Dima said he can only come to a class with us around 7.30 or 8.00 at night. This is not suitable since our regular group meets each night at 6.00. We usually have questions and discussions until 7.30 and sometimes 8.00. We have another meeting set up and will offer him the option to meet with us on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. We hope this will work out. Thank you for the prayers!
