Peter and Pastor of a Sister church in a small village, Zaprudnia, we helped invite people to a church event
Worship area of the small church. Peter giving us instructions
Inside this building is where we had a puppet show. Beyond the slot machines was a large meeting room with stage. Speakers were set up to announce the program.
Puppet Show in Zaprudnia
A different auditorium was used for a concert. We had a good turnout, more than what is shown. The singers were fantastic.
Moscow-Red stone structures are the Kremlin. About 12 million live in Moscow and 2 to 3 million in the suburbs.

Entrance to boat dock
ALL ABOARD! This is our cruise boat. We had about 100 people. Church young people were to invite someone who was not a believer. Others were Uri, President of RBU and a city official. Lake Pointe paid for this cruise up the Moscow river and was very well received and appreciated by the church.
