On this trip, I am able to include some reflections from those who have accompanied me. In this post, I want to include Perry\u2019s thoughts on activities Friday and Saturday.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday – 9\/16\/2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ivan, the minister, and his wife, Sveta, met us at the hotel and had a short visit before driving to the village of Ugorniky where the church building is located. The pictures below show the progress of the building after five years. The past three years have been very slow due to COVID, lack of materials, and the war. The majority of the construction is by the members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am very impressed with their skills. There is a shop next to the building being used to train young men in a trade. This is also used as an outreach tool where those being trained have the opportunity to hear the gospel. We were told that one of the young men wants to be baptized this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
