The first picture is a panorama of the crowd gathered for our Christmas program which was held at the Armada Spasy where our mission church meets. Below are the first set of photos taken during the evening. There is another gallery following this one with the rest of the photos. This was a great evening of fellowship and celebrating our Savior’s birth. Many people helped in the program and many also helped behind the scenes. Thanks goes out to you all… you know who you are. God bless.

Last night, we had an excellent gathering with believers who were of African, Malaysian, Korean, Indian and American descent. I am always encouraged by these diverse and meaningful fellowship opportunities. We were blessed to have Elder Joseph Tan share a message with us. We had a rather large group assembled to hear what he had…
