WORD OF THE DAY - Sunday 01 May 2011 from Nikolaev, Ukraine

Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  (Matthew 11:28)

Придите ко Мне все труждающиеся и обремененные, и Я успокою вас; (От Матфея 11:28 Russian)

Прийдіть до Мене, усі струджені та обтяжені, і Я вас заспокою! (Матей 11:28 Ukrainian)

Venid á mí todos los que estáis trabajados y cargados, que yo os haré descansar. (Mateo 11:28 Spanish)

Almighty God, our Dear Father in Heaven ~ Thank you for the indescribable joy we experience as we walk in step with Christ our Lord. Give us wisdom so that we will follow the perfect pattern given by Christ and his apostles whenever we extend the blessed invitation for sinners to come to the Feast. Bless believers around the world who faithfully assemble on this Lord’s Day to honor Christ our crucified, buried and risen King. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

We made it back home to our apartment here in Nikolaev a little after 07.00 AM. The overnight bus ride is always a bit exhausting, but we will have an opportunity for rest later today - maybe. We are so very thankful for your prayers and encouragement. We understand that everyone cannot be here, but we gain strength from knowing that you are with us when you talk to the Father. The not so good photo is what our large sign will look like. We'll get you a better picture once they have it installed this coming week. Our advertisements are being put all around the city and we look forward to some responses. Now we are rushing to get ready for our worship and other activities centered on our Lord.
