Ah Astana, you were once called Aqmola, meaning  “from out of dry bones”. 

 “Oh, Dry Bones, hear the word of the Lord.” Ez 37:4

Today, your streets are graced with lovely fountains of water. 

“If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me, the fountain of Living Water.”  John7:37 and Jer 2:13

And the beautiful Ishim River flows through your city.
 “From the Holy Spirit shall flow rivers of living water.  John7:38

This river separates the old and the new city.

 “There is a bringing of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.”  Hebrews 7:19

And in the center of the new city stands a symbol which represents the Tree of life.

“Being firmly planted by streams of water, yields its fruit in season.” Ps 1:3

As in the marketplace of Athens of old may the same question be asked in yours. 

“May we know what this new teaching is?”  Acts 17:19

And in the great arena of life, may your people strive to reach the goal.   

“Press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”  Phil 3:14

In order to recognize the voice of Jesus as a bride knows the one she loves. 

“And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God will rejoice over you.” Isaiah 62:5

Ah Astana, Your name means, “Capital City.”

 “May God’s kingdom come, may God’s will be done.” – Matthew 6:10
