Odessa Mission

Christmas 2006

Sunday, Dec 24th:

After church lunch group - Here's the group that stayed after our Christmas pageant to have lunch with us. To the far right you'll see Natalia (brunette) hugging her mother, Svetlana. This was actually the day Natalia officially decided to repent and follow Jesus Christ. Please be praying for her as she prepares to start her new life in the Lord.


Oxonna's niece - This is Oxonna's niece, from a neighboring Ukrainian city, checking out her new look after getting her face painted.


Oxonna's family - Here's Oxonna with her mother, Nadia, along with her three nieces. Her oldest niece is Yulia and the other two are twin sisters. Unfortunately, they all live some distance away but prayer can still make the difference.


Boy visitor - This was a boy visiting KRCC for the first time.


Ella the artist- Here's Ella working some of her magic on another boy, during his first visit to KRCC.


More artists - In this picture, we see Ira, Tatyana, and Ella painting faces. Ira is working on the face of a girl who's linked with the Handicapped Society which is a group John intends to do some projects with in the future.


Fellowship - Here's our group having some fun, food, and fellowship after the program.

Cancer Ward Photos:

These are some photos taken at the Christmas program presented at the cancer ward. The program was basically a repeat of Sunday's entire program including John's brief message.
