Dear friends,
We just wanted to ask for your prayers for tomorrow’s worship service here in Lviv. Pastor Bendus is gone this weekend so he asked Tomasz to preach. This will be the first time Tomasz will preach in Ukrainian without a translator. Please pray that God guides him during the final preparations and gives him the right words to share tomorrow. Pray that God would be glorified through this opportunity. The sermon text is Matthew 5:14-16.
It would be great if people would also pray during the time of the service but we realize that for those of you living in the States, the time would not be very convenient. The church service here in Lviv starts at 11am Ukrainian time which will be:
Sunday 8/2/2009 1:15 am PDT
Sunday 8/2/2009 2:15 am MDT
Sunday 8/2/2009 3:15 am CDT
Sunday 8/2/2009 4:15 am EDT
So unless you work a night shift or can’t sleep, we don’t think that you will be able to pray at that exact time. But if it just happens that you are up for some reason we wanted to share the times with you so that you’d know.
Thank you so much for standing behind us in prayer! You mean a lot to us!!!
Tomasz, Miriam and Hannah
