He Would

So let me backtrack in time a little bit and tell you about our friday. It was quite possibly the most depressing day ever. The woes of not having many Bible studies after having so many promising first converstaions with people continued. However, we were more than excited about the prospect of meeting people at the English club, where most of the interns before us met non-Christians to begin studying. This would be followed by going to the small group at Oksana's home.

First, we were called by Alosha that Oksana's group had been cancelled, which I can't completely complain because this allowed us to go to the interconfessional group, which was a blessing. However, next we received a phone call that the English club was cancelled probably due to the students being too busy from exams.

Our hearts sank.

Any effort we could have made friday to grab some studies seemed lost, we had lost.

And then of course, He would.

By that I mean answered prayer a couple of days after we had given up on our own ability to do anything about the situation. Over the last 24 hours or so God has answered prayers (might I add in the way we preferred) and we have added 4 Bible studies with the potential of another. We find ourselves not quite on our high horses with excitement again, but rather on our knees thanking the One who will let us participate in His work. Thanks for praying! Continue to do so for hearts, for Ira, Masha, Oleg, Zhenya, Tanya, Dennis and Lena.
