kiev 2 california

9 students and i went on a life-changing missionary journey to kiev, ukraine this past summer. we stayed w/ disciples in our sister church there of over 2000 members. we preached, shared, fellowshiped, explored, and spent time everyday at a local orphanage serving. while at our first church service on a sunday, an older, refined brother brought me to the back of the church to meet his nephew narek. i expected another ukrainian local, but after he started speaking w/ perfect english i had to ask where he was from. turns out he's from glendale, california and had worked only a few blocks away from where we go to church. a few weeks later we met up in glendale for church. j.r. and kevin studied with him and after 2 months in the word he decided to make Jesus his Lord. He was baptized OCT 7 at the service in Anaheim in front of 7000 people.
