Clay and Darlene have finished MOVING to an apartment near the church. We’ve already had some meetings there, and it will also be very convenient to our counseling center, which is just across the street! Our dog and cat, Wookie and Shades, are now living out at the “dacha” in the country, and our neighbor is caring for them.

Assistant Pastor Valera Zadorozhny of Odessa church is assisting the seminary this week in Kyiv. We are glad to see him participating, since he’s preparing to teach by studying in an advanced degree program in Russia.

Clay visited our north Odessa church plant a few weeks ago, and rejoiced at their unity and care. He helped examine one girl who will be joining the church this Sunday! Clay goes back there to preach the following week.

Clay also visited the Belgorod-Dnestrovsky church 2 weeks ago, being present on the Commission as they elected 3 men to be elders! He will return this Sunday for the official Organization of the church as a “particular church” and for the pastor’s official installation! This is a great celebration of the Lord’s blessing on many years of work in this town of 50,000 just an hour south of Odessa.
