But about that day and that hour no one knows, not even angels which are in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come. (Mark 13:32-33)
О дне же том, или часе, никто не знает, ни Ангелы небесные, ни Сын, но только Отец. Смотрите, бодрствуйте, молитесь, ибо не знаете, когда наступит это время. (От Марка 13:32-33 Russian)
Most Holy and Righteous God, our Dear Heavenly Father ~ Thank you for the numerous blessings that fall upon us from your endless reserves and refresh us on this new day. Give us a keen awareness of the brevity of mortal life and the certainty of the sudden and startling return of our Messiah Jesus. Help us as we live with obedient faith and work to bring others to salvation. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
We had some extra time yesterday to sort out all our literature that we recently received and made some great discoveries. For several days we have been in the planning stages of launching some English classes that will be free to the public and that will hopefully help us meet more people who are interested in learning about God and His plan of salvation. We did the same thing in Magadan back in the mid-nineties with great success. We don't have time now to develop a suitable curriculum, so I contacted our friend Dick Ady who is the author of the very effective World English Institute lessons. Galina has helped to translate some of these courses into the Russian language. Dick is strongly encouraging us to use the WEI material in our English language school here in Nikolaev. These courses teach English using the Bible. We had recently ordered some WEI student books from EEM in Donetsk, and lo and behold, we found them when we opened some more boxes yesterday. We didn't think they had shipped these books, and we are excited to have them and can put them to good use right away. Thank you for the prayers for the success of this work of sowing and harvesting here in Ukraine.
