Ukraine Trip Day 3

Today was a busy one. We had a good breakfast of omelettes at 0745 and then some of the group headed off to assist in the ‘sandwich making factory’! Feeding 112 people twice is quite a task. It was all done very well and to a high standard. 

The conference meetings started at 1030 with two Bible Teaching slots. I read and spoke on Psalm 37 about the seeming unfairness of life when bad people prosper and good people get it tough. Steve Buckeridge followed by speaking about the present work of the Lord Jesus on the believer’s behalf in heaven. It is so encouraging to know that we have a Saviour who is looking after us from heaven. He watches over us, acts on our behalf if and when we sin and draws along side us in the difficulties of life.

Vancouver 2015

I have been in Vancouver now for two days. I hope that the jet lag will start to wear off today; not that it has restricted me. I have just felt extremely sleepy and lethargic at times. The conference I am speaking at has such potential to bless lives. 

Yesterday we heard about the power of the gospel among the gangs of Los Angeles, the call to preach the gospel and the content of what the message of the gospel is. Later in the day we heard about the guaranteed return of Jesus Christ to take the church to heaven. We finished with 60 young people being taught eight ways of witnessing. A great day. 

So now we face a new day. How amazing God is! You go to sleep exhausted and wake with energy ready to live another day. Praying for the blessing of God in the conference today. We start at 1030 listening to David Weir explain how the gospel has affected lives in Romania followed by six further speakers. I think I'll be exhausted again tonight but hopefully refreshed in my soul.
