I captured the following shots out our apatment window over the past three days.

Pastor Anatoliy is a graduate of the Church Ministries Institute. He is currently invloved in his second church plant.

This Sunday we celebrated the last Zhatva of the year in our home church, Hope for People. Naomi and Mishael participated in the children’s program.
