So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 10:32-33)
Итак всякого, кто исповедает Меня пред людьми, того исповедаю и Я пред Отцем Моим Небесным; а кто отречется от Меня пред людьми, отрекусь от того и Я пред Отцем Моим Небесным. (От Матфея 10:32-33 Russian)
Отже, кожного, хто Мене визнає перед людьми, того перед Небесним Отцем Моїм визнаю й Я. Хто ж Мене відцурається перед людьми, того й Я відцураюся перед Небесним Отцем Моїм. (Матей 10:32-33 Ukrainian)
Dear heavenly Father ~ thank you for the unbounded joy that we experience on this new day that brings evidence as fresh and clear as the morning dew that you are our Only God, the great giver and sustainer of life in all its forms. As it is within your great plan for us, we ask according to what little we know about the future to grant us more of your wisdom so that we will understand ourselves better, but mostly so that we will be able to know how to communicate your perfect plan of salvation to those who do not yet know Christ as Lord. Give us courage so that we will never take the foolish way of denying our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ but will always stand firm in the promises of our faith. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Yesterday morning, we had our
usual 3 boys for Sunday school class taught by Galina. We received an SMS
message from Tatyana their usual teacher during the class period. She has a son
working in New Jersey, so she has gone to visit him for a couple of weeks. We
have a small English lesson for the boys and we are teaching them to sing Jesus
Loves Me in English. They already know it is Russian. We had 16 present
yesterday for our worship services. Omo led the opening prayer with Galina
translating. Pasha led the church around the Lord's Table. Olamide led the
closing prayer. After the worship, the 3 boys Dima, Zhenya and Vitaly, recited
their memory verses. Dima and Zhenya are sons of Pasha and he helps make sure
they do their memory work. Vitaly is their good friend and doesn't have anyone
at home to help him with the Bible. He even caught the bus and came by himself
yesterday. He's the tallest of the three boys. Later during our fellowship, we
had time to have a little visit with our visitor Alexander (Sasha) who lives 2
hours away and comes when he can. Next week he plans to attend the seminar that
is put on each year in Feodosia which is in the Crimean region of Ukraine.
Galina presented the boys with prizes for saying their memory verses. Omo, who
is a university student, is far from home in Nigeria and we gave him
a little toy also which he gladly received.
