WORD OF THE DAY - Tuesday 18 January 2011 from Mykolayiv, Ukraine

Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. (3 John 1:2 ESV)


Возлюбленный! молюсь, чтобы ты здравствовал и преуспевал во всем, как преуспевает душа твоя. (3-e Иоанна 1:2 Russian)

Улюблений, я молюся, щоб добре велося в усьому тобі, і щоб був ти здоровий, як добре ведеться душі твоїй. (3 Йоаново 1:2 Ukrainian)

Amado, yo deseo que tú seas prosperado en todas cosas, y que tengas salud, así como tu alma está en prosperidad. (3 Juan 1:2 Spanish)

Most Kind and Holy God, our Dear Heavenly Father ~ Thank you for the prosperous blessings that we cannot begin to count on this new day. We are especially joyful that we can honestly sing, “It is well with my soul.” Give us good health as we do our best to make intelligent choices regarding our eating, drinking and exercise habits. Give us wisdom as we fill our minds with spiritual food from the Scriptures. In the blessed name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

Earlier this morning, on my walk around town, these workers were already out on their street clean-up detail. The city usually does a good job of tidying up after major holidays such as the long New Years' celebration that seems to have finally waned into history. Around 08.00, I met our friend Chuck at the local McDonalds for our little coffee klatch that usually includes some Bible talk along with talk of events in America.


Yesterday I spent time shopping around for some cold remedies that have been suggested by our kindly neighbors and other well meaning folks. While I was doing that, she was busy cooking a delicious pot of borsch. The best suggestion came from our fellow worker for the Lord, Jim Mettenbrink who suggested the timeless remedy of chicken soup. Today, I'll purchase ingredients for that, and with a pot of borsch and a pot of chicken soup, hopefully Galina will get well and I'll stay well. I finished sending out all my invitations to people who were previously studying English with us using the Bible and the excellent lessons by World English Institute - WEI. By the way, WEI is always looking for teachers. If you are retired, or just have some spare time available, jump in to this important work and your soul will be satisfied as you help lead people to a better understanding of English and most importantly to have faith in Jesus Christ. Just write to Bob or Jan Towell at jrtowell@aol.com

I recommend that you visit the WEI website http://www.weiady.org/ for more information about the worldwide scope of this evangelistic work. Once there, you will notice a link “Teachers needed”. Just click on there and you will learn what is expected of you as a teacher. Even though you may work from the comfort of your own home, you will be involved in the front lines of mission work because you will be helping people from many different nations to learn the truth presented in the Bible as you help your students progress in their knowledge of the English language.
