PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!

We have just returned from the Embassy with all of our visas in hand, praise the Lord! We have bought train tickets to return to Moscow tonight, arriving at 1130 tomorrow morning. Thanks so much for praying and trusting the Lord to continue to work all things together for good! We are so thankful that He has allowed us to return to Moscow to serve Him as He leads.

Phyllis said...: I thought of something more, just now as I was reading one of Amy Carmichael's books. She quoted this:
"Beyond the raging storm there shall be calm,
Ere long, ere long;
And winter sigh shall change to summer song,
Ere long!"
(From Sunrise Land, page 120)
It made me think of where you are now, in the middle of the raging storm of packing, moving, uncertainty. We were there not long ago. Soon there will be calm for you, too!; August 8, 2008 at 5:00 PM

~Prayer Requests~

Please continue to pray for Roz's Dad, Don. God has done great things and much progress has been made, however, he is still experiencing side effects from his July collision. Please pray specifically for him to be well enough to drive again, if that be the Lord's will. Please pray for Roz and her brother and sister as they continue to share the responsibility of caring for their Dad.

Please pray for John-David to find full-time work using the gifts the Lord has given him.

Please pray for Sarah to have strength for each task before her as she works and does on-line studies. She is also volunteering at a local crisis-pregnancy center. Pray for wisdom and compassion as she minsters there.

Please pray for Andrei as he enters a new realm of study in a local college. Pray that the Lord will use him as a testimony to his teachers and classmates. He asks that he would have the courage to stand alone in that setting.

Please pray for prepared hearts of the pastors and their wives who we will be ministering to at The Lodge.

Please pray for discernment for us concerning our involvement with orphan/fostercare children in the area.

Please pray for all of 'our' Russian students. Pray for those who are strong in the Lord to be bright lights among their peers. Pray for God's Word to come to the heart of those loved ones who have chosen to walk away from the Lord.

Grace Alone!

Every promise we can make

Every prayer and step of faith

Every difference we will make

Is only by His grace.

Every mountain we will climb

Every ray of hope we shine

Every blessing left behind

Is only by His grace.

Refrain:

Grace alone, which God supplies

Strength unknown, He will provide

Christ in us, our Cornerstone,

We will go forth in grace alone.

Every soul we long to reach

Every heart we hope to teach

Everywhere we share His peace

Is only by His grace.

Every loving word we say

Every tear we wipe away

Every sorrow turned to praise

Is only by His grace.

Refrain

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Refrain

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms;
Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.

O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
O how bright the path grows from day to day,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Refrain

What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
Leaning on the everlasting arms;
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Refrain
