The Kotovskogo church plant of the Odessa church has been meeting for a year in a rented hall in the North part of town – in an area of 300,000 people! In spite of all that, there are VERY few places a church can meet! Even the Orthodox church has had to build new churches in the area. Our church had a group living in the area, commuting almost an hour to our downtown Odessa church. Pastor George decided it was ripe for a church plant, and began the group. After meeting in one place and another, they finally found two small rooms behind a supermarket where they could squeeze in a maximum of 40 people. It was unfinished, so the owner agreed that in lieu of 2 years’ rent, we could refurbish the place, which we did. Now that the repair is done, he’s now going back on his word, and the church, with no prior notice, has no place to meet! All this happened while Pastor George was on a mission trip to Russia. So, seminary student Andrei Nabatov is the assistant to pastor George and must deal with this on his own. What a lot to fall on his shoulders! Please pray for them.
