It was a very Jewish town before the war. The messianic congregation there is flourishing. You can see that the guys participate in the dances more than the gals!!!<\/p>\n<p>The pastor Vadim and his son were dancing, too. It was a little hard to dance in their seats, but they try!! This auditorium is too small for them and they are usually in a bigger hall.<\/p>\n<p>Before the children went to the Sabath class, they went under the huppa and were blessed by the pastor.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;32px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text]We also visited Lenoid and Tanya\u2019s church. They have been building this sanctuary several years. They will have a tall steeple with a cross on it and it will be seen from just about anywhere in town! We have been coming here since 1993.<\/p>\n<p>The church had the very first restaurant after their country\u2019s freedom. It is in a public building, the food is really good, so they have clients coming from their offices during the week. It has been a blessing for the church\u2026a good outreach place!<\/p>\n<p>Rick prayed over the youth who were hanging around after the meeting.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=&#8221;image_grid&#8221; interval=&#8221;3&#8243; images=&#8221;3525,3524,3521&#8243; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221; custom_links_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_number=&#8221;3&#8243; grayscale=&#8221;no&#8221; choose_frame=&#8221;default&#8221; images_space=&#8221;gallery_with_space&#8221; img_size=&#8221;500\u0445500&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;32px&#8221; image_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_gallery type=&#8221;image_grid&#8221; interval=&#8221;3&#8243; images=&#8221;3527&#8243; onclick=&#8221;link_image&#8221; custom_links_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_number=&#8221;0&#8243; grayscale=&#8221;no&#8221; choose_frame=&#8221;default&#8221; images_space=&#8221;gallery_without_space&#8221; img_size=&#8221;500\u0445500&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p>We continue to have guests.
