God of This City

You're the God of this City
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation

You're the Light in this darkness
You're the Hope to the hopeless
You're the Peace to the restless

There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God

For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater thing have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City


My heart is breaking for these people! Things have gotten more complicated, and the pastor and missionary need me to lay low for a few days in order for everything to cool down and hopefully blow over. In my free time today, Wendy and I were cooking dinner in the kitchen, and this song was playing on the CD player. It doesn't matter how many times I hear this song, it brings tears to my eyes same as these people who need the Lord. I can't help but think of this country, this city of Kharkov as I live and serve here. He IS the God of Kharkov, He IS the God of Ukraine, He IS the God of the Ukrainian people, and there are greater things still to be done here!

Please pray that everything will work out, and I will be able to start my childrens' ministry on Friday. Satan is working hard to discourage me and keep me from doing God's work, but he will NOT win and will NOT have a foothold in this city! I have been and will continue to pray that Satan has no power over the officials and government. There is a special place in my heart for these people, and I will not go down without a fight! Satan doesn't know what he is in for! I will fight him every step of the way! I WILL proclaim the love of God to the children of Kharkov, Ukraine!

Until the whole world hears,
Jenna

  3. And that song is exactly why "Heart For This City" became our theme for Garaywa this summer. Matthew 10 says that we will not reach every city before the Son of Man returns, but I (like you) am determined to reach as many as we can before it's too late! Live with urgency.
