WORD OF THE DAY - Thanksgiving day 2009




May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, Selah that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations. For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm. A song. (Psalm 67:1-2 NIV)

Боже! будь милостив к нам и благослови нас, освети нас лицем Твоим, дабы познали на земле путь Твой, во всех народах спасение Твое. ^^Начальнику хора. На струнных [орудиях]. Псалом. Песнь.^^ (Псалтирь 67:1-2 Russian 66:1-3)

Gracious and Kind Father in Heaven ~ As we embrace this new day with overflowing thanksgiving for all your kindness, give us wisdom to comprehend the vastness of your generosity to all people. Give us more courage so that we will make a strong and public stance for Jesus Christ our Savior and King so that people in all nations will be motivated to have faith in our glorious and highly exalted Lord and Christ. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Lyudmila confessed her faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God yesterday and was baptized at our apartment. We rejoice with Luda and the angels of heaven! We have been studying with her since she began to attend our meetings back in August. We had asked Alexander Prokopchuk who preaches on the nationally televised Gospel broadcast each Sunday morning from Donetsk, to invite people to our meetings who live in Nikolaev and have responded to his effective messages. Alexander's work is largely supported by the North Atlanta Church of Christ that is also one of our partners in the Magadan work. Alexander's staff sent out 77 letters to people in the Nikolaev region and Luda came two days after she received the letter and has hardly missed a single meeting. In addition, she usually brings a neighbor and friend Stepan. She has also brought other people to our meetings. Now, she is determined to bring more people to the Lord. We pray for the spiritual growth of these new Christians and ask you to pray for them also that they may continue to hunger and thirst for righteousness.
