WORD OF THE DAY - Monday 14 December 2009




“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” (John 10:11 NIV)

Я есмь пастырь добрый: пастырь добрый полагает жизнь свою за овец. (От Иоанна 10:11 Russian)

Almighty God, our Dear Father in Heaven ~ Thank you for life along with the awareness that you are the source of all that is good in this world. We are humbled when we consider the great love that our Good Shepherd has for his flock – the Church. Give us stronger faith and wisdom as we attempt to follow the many examples of our Lord in what we say and do. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.



Yesterday was another wonderful worship experience as we participated together in praising our risen Lord Jesus Christ. Brother Akinrinde led us in singing. We had ten people present for worship and that gave us much encouragement considering what a cold windy day it was. It is actually colder today, but it is more bearable because we don't have the strong winds like on Sunday. Our newest visitor Nikolai was there with his usual cheerful attitude. He adds so much to our meetings with his positive attitude and friendly disposition with a kind heart toward others. At noon today we meet with him to answer his "ten questions" as he stated. He has already located a place and investigated how much it will cost to rent a swimming pool for his baptism into Christ. God continues to bless His work here in Nikolaev, and for that we are most thankful to have a small part in this harvest. Thank you for your fervent prayers.
