RPD 16 August 2007 Praise God

This is a short RPD doubling up with the monthly update – soon we’ll be back to regular.

Thank God that Ruth and Jon were able to find an apartment for rent near their place of work in Kyiv. We found it yesterday and today we have the keys – they will move there at the end of next week.

Thank God for Kolya and Jeanne who announced their engagement this week. Kolya is one of my good mates here in Ukraine. They will get married in January and live in my house while I am in Australia and NZ. Pray for the many plans they have to make – but mostly, that they will create a family that is glorifying to God.

Thank God and pray for a kids’ festival next week here in Rzhyshchiv. About 70 kids will come every day to learn about God and who Jesus is; to sing, memorize the Bible, play games etc. I plan to help out for most or all of the week.

Thank God for the birth of Lilya Kurilko. Natasha and Alyosha are the proud parents of an amazingly beautiful baby (I know we say they are all beautiful but the truth is that most of them look like ET – however, this one is truly beautiful). Please pray for wisdom and love for Natasha and Alyosha as parents. Pray that Lilya grows to love Jesus with all of her heart.

Thank God for Jesus. Last week I was sharing with some young people about being made in the image of God. Afterwards I realized that the most important thing we can think about is Jesus. He is the image of God to us. We are marred by sin. He is sinless. Thank God for Jesus and Keep Looking Up.

Prayer and Praise:

• Accommodation for Ruth and Jon
• Kolya and Jeanne
• Lilya, Natasha and Alyosha
• Kids’ festival

Thanks:

• To Ruth for making a really cool Settlers board out of polystyrene. Good shot Rufus! (Goofalopalus the third)

Love Jono
Keep Looking Up
