“For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” (Revelation 7:17 NIV) ибо Агнец, Который среди престола, будет пасти их и водить их на живые источники вод; и отрет Бог всякую слезу с очей их. (Откровение 7:17 Russian)
Бо Агнець, що серед престолу, буде їх пасти, і водитиме їх до джерел вод життя. І Бог кожну сльозу з очей їхніх зітре! (Откровение 7:17 Ukrainian)
Porque el Cordero que está en medio del trono los pastoreará, y los guiará á fuentes vivas de aguas: y Dios limpiará toda lágrima de los ojos de ellos. (Apocalipsis 7:17 Spanish)
Great and Mighty God, our Dear Father in Heaven ~ Thank you for the extreme joy that we experience on this new Lord’s Day. Bless believers all over the earth who meet in sweet communion on this first day of the week, to honor our crucified Lord who rose victoriously from the grave to be our incomparable Savior. Give us wisdom to take advantage of each opportunity for sharing the truth that saves souls from the darkness of sin. In the beloved name of Jesus we pray, Amen. 
Yesterday, we were with the boys at the Boys Home. We let them know ahead of time that we wanted to have a time of fellowship (tea) after our Bible study. Since we hadn't seen them in three months, we had a lot of catching up to do. After our Bible lesson dealing with honesty and integrity, we shared some things we had brought with us – shampoo, conditioner and soaps that a few good people at Dalraida collect for the orphans and other needs. We presented them with socks, towels and toothpaste that we purchased locally and shared Danish cookies, chocolates and Christmas candy canes that Charles Campbell mailed to us. We gave them a table tennis set of paddles and balls which we frequently do. Last Saturday the boys participated in a regional Ping-Pong competition of regional orphan homes. Two of our boys (Denis and Pasha) won third place in team competition. We are waiting on some things from the USA that we can hopefully take with us next Saturday. Everyone was so excited that they were practically all talking to us at the same time. We missed them and they missed us. As usual we gave each boy a Snickers bar, an orange and hot wheels type car that we had to buy here since we are out of the real ones from the USA. It was so kind of the boys that they saved their tangerines they received at lunch and gave them to us. We were with the boys for 2.5 hours and they just didn’t want us to leave, but we had to get gone before dark due to the weather conditions. This group will have to leave the Boys Home at the end of this year, so we are already preparing ourselves for that and to assume a new group that will be coming up. Tonight we plan to leave on the bus for Slavyansk where Galina’s mother lives. It is a 12 hour trip to Donetsk, and then we catch another bus to Slavyansk. We plan to return to Nikolaev on Friday. We sincerely appreciate your prayers and other kindly encouragement.
