Итак не оставляйте упования вашего, которому предстоит великое воздаяние. (К Евреям 10:35 Russian)
Тож не відкидайте відваги своєї, бо має велику нагороду вона. (Евреи 10:35 Ukrainian)No perdáis pues vuestra confianza, que tiene grande remuneración de galardón: (Hebreos 10:35 Spanish)
Dear LORD our God ~ Thank you for this new day that brings with it fresh hopes to accomplish a small portion of our purpose in this life. Help us Dear Father when we feel like we are not accomplishing much for the Way of Jesus. Revive our hopes as we recall the numerous promises to prosper us in all ways as we remain faithful to our blessed Lord. Give us wisdom and inner strength so that we will always maintain an attitude of confidence as we continue to fight in this great spiritual battle for the souls of men and women around the world. In the name of Jesus our Lord we pray, Amen. Yesterday turned into another day that so many people were still celebrating the 1 May holidays. The Post Office and other government services were closed and people were generally enjoying the holiday. It was a nice cool day to just walk around the city checking on our advertising efforts. The large cannon is strategically placed in a position on the high bluff overlooking the river as if in defense of the city. It reminded me of my first visit to Moscow in 1992 and our guide pointed out an exceptionally massive French cannon that Napoleons’ forces had abandoned by the Kremlin wall. The Russians left it there as a reminder of the French loss. We had one call from a grandfather who wants us to meet his 10 year old son who he thinks should qualify as an exception to the 15 year old rule for us to teach English using the Bible. We have an appointment with these two on Thursday. He was very concerned for his grandson to learn the Bible and he had heard about my teaching the Bible to students at the University. We also had a call from Nastya, the girl who has begun attending our Sunday morning services. She wanted permission to bring a friend with her on Sunday at 11.30. Her name is also Nastya. (Anastasia) We are always humbled and amazed at the way God picks us up whenever we feel like we are not making much progress here in our efforts to spread the Gospel in southern Ukraine. This morning we have an appointment with the 4th year mathematics students at the University who are very interested in improving their English. They have enrolled in courses in the English department to enhance their opportunities for the future. They are a bright bunch and we hope our visit will be as rewarding as the last time. Thank you for your many fervent and faithful prayers.
