This is Valla. She is the wonderful lady who cooks our breakfast every morning. She is a wonderful Christian woman who also cooks for teams and groups coming to Grace to serve during the summer. She has been doing this for us for the past 8 years. She and John are standing in the dining hall just in front of the window to the kitchen.

Senior Pastor Igor Bandura reading a letter from WHBC Minister of Music John Thompson to Daniel Terenko, Minister of Music, Grace Baptist Church, Odessa. Rev. Thompson sent several copies of music, contatas and hymn arrangements to Rev. Terenko. The music is not only greatly appreciated by the choirs at Grace, but also at the Baptist Theological Seminary where Rev. Terenko is the Director of Music Studies.
