Pictures from Odessa

This is the small mission Church in the village of Ilyinka, about 45 minutes outside of the city of Odessa. It is a miniature of the sanctuary building at Grace Baptist Church. It serves a community of approximately 150 people, none of whom were believers when the church was built 2 years ago. Most of the villagers are alcholics and suffer from TB and other illnesses. Grace Baptist Church, Odessa, established this mission in order to reach the children of the village and share the Gospel of hope, truth and redemption.
