Odessa Mission
Our First Service
March 24, 2004
Just a quick note to let you know that the service went very
well. Seven people attended and they all seemed to really respond.
Afterwards, we all had lunch together. The theme of the service was the need
to seek God with all of our heart and soul. And Peter Pavluk, from one of the
Baptist churches in Odessa, also shared his personal testimony with us.
Accompanied with this email are some pictures featuring Ira and Olya, our
worship team, as well as Peter Pavluk. Artyome is an 18-year old boy from the
school for handicapped children and Tatyana is a local Charismatic believer
who seems to support our efforts. On the other side of the table you'll see
Lena sitting with Olya and Ira. Lena is a former member of the worship team
who surprised us all by showing up for our first service. The prayers are
making a difference.
Enjoy, John
