Odessa Mission
August 2008 Pictures
On the right is a newcomer named Anna. Her mother-in-law, Sveta, is holding
her Anna's four-year old daughter, Ivona. The two boys wearing the white
shirts are cousins. Vova is on the far left and David is the 14-year old with
the black hair. They both recently decided that they'd rather attend our church
instead of going to the Pentecostal church. So we'll see where that leads.
Finally, to the left you'll notice tall Oxonna. she was baptized at KRCC about
three years ago but eventually stopped attending because she had been living
almost two hours away from Odessa. Fortunately, we'll be seeing much more of
her since she recently moved to Odessa. In fact, she's even been offered a
fantastic job to boot!
Lena is David and Vova's grandmother. She recently visited our church in order
to share her powerful testimony with us. About twenty years ago, she'd been
living in the world until a clinical death experience showed her the reality
of the afterlife and completely changed everything. She's now one of Ukraine's
most sought out prayer ministry leaders in the Pentecostal Church.
