Odessa Mission

Tavrichiski Bible Institute

Here are some shots of Tavrichiski Bible Institute in Kherson, Ukraine, where Oxonna is currently enrolled as a correspondence student. As you can see, it's a quaint little spot that's conducive for quality prayer time and relaxation. Needless to say, it's a nice change of pace for anyone used to the noise, smog, and sheer clutter of Odessa.
