WORD OF THE DAY - Friday 01 April 2011 Slavyansk, Ukraine

He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth. (1 Peter 2:22)


Он не сделал никакого греха, и не было лести в устах Его. (1-e Петра 2:22 Russian)

Не вчинив Він гріха, і не знайшлося в устах Його підступу! (1 Петрово 2:22 Ukrainian)

El cual no hizo pecado; ni fué hallado engaño en su boca: (1 Pedro 2:22 Spanish)

Most Kind and Merciful God, our Dear Heavenly Father ~ Thank you for the very precious gift of life that exists in these bodies of clay on this new day. We are most thankful for our loving Savior who provides a perfect pattern for us to follow and who gave His life so that we can be reconciled to you Oh God. Help us to humbly and faithfully tell others about Christ who never sinned even during the bitter times of trial and vicarious punishment. We pray in Jesus name, Amen.

We had a wonderful day yesterday visiting with Ilya, our new brother in Christ and his great parents and nice little brother Nazar. We sneaked up behind them at the central park near the statue of V.I. Lenin whose looming presence still occupies a prominent place in most cities of the former Soviet Union. I took Viktor all the pictures we made Wednesday at the baptism of Ilya. He downloaded them from our flash drive onto his handy netbook computer. We always enjoy being with this young Christian family who are very talented and devoted servants of the Lord. Later they walked with us from the area of the Library to the Bus Station where we needed to arrange tickets to Donetsk so we can catch the overnight bus tomorrow to Nikolaev. Today, we hope to help out in the garden if the local manager allows. Thank you for your prayers.
