the world of 100m is in
Kiev. A beautiful city
with history and inter-
esting buildings. We left
Kiev with pleasant new
memories and experi-
ences. The genuine love
for the truth expressed
in lively body language,
hymns, poetry, acting,
singing, laughing, eng-
aging, hugging will
remain with us for a long
time. We thank Bro
Duncan for inviting us to the Kiev Bible
School, but above all our Heavenly Father
who in his great grace gave us such experi-
ences. We believe it would be great for
anyone with only western cultural experience
to take on board such opportunities with a
view to take but also to give. In the west we
have knowledge, in the east they have a
heart. What a beautiful combination.

Bro Duncan brought
everyone’s attention to
the readings and the
answer from the Bible. It
was a relief after follow-
ing these exchanges in
Russian to see some
noting yes and some
saying “amen” a very
agreeable ending in
oneness. The highlight
for us was the 5
baptisms on Saturday afternoon in the lake.
The candidates were so happy and the atmos-
phere so engaging. The night before it was
such a pleasure to ‘interview’ Paul (Pavel), a
young Engineer married and soon to become
a father. His English good, doctrine perfect.
On the question “Why do you want to be
baptised?” An answer with meaning: “I want
to be in Christ, a Christ that is able to save
me from sin and death but also able to assist
me in my daily struggles with
personal difficulties and in my rela-
tionships with those around me. To
give me wisdom and strength. This
real Christ is to be understood in
harmony with correct doctrine.”
Such a good, positive, honest atti-
tude. The day we were leaving, as
we had time Bro Igor took us on a
tour around Kiev via Metro, boat
and walking. We didn’t know that
the river Dnieper that runs through
the city is the largest in Europe.

e’re pleased to report the baptism of
Imdad who came to us from the internet,
but being in a difficult domestic situation as
the family are strongly Moslem, chose to
baptize herself. Please pray for her.
Here is the personal witness to God’s grace of
Bro Miles:
“My name is Miles and this is not a testimo-
nial, it’s just my story. The only reason it is
special is because it happened to me.
Everyone has their own special story and you
decide to either tell it or not. A friend asked
me to tell my tale so I have decided to share
a bit of it because I respect my friend’s wishes
a good deal. I am a seventy year old retired
art teacher, living with my wife of near forty
years, on the coast of California. I have two
advanced university degrees, a milieu of
bohemian and social activist friends who think
Christianity is at best an interesting myth. On
July 5 of 2016 I walked into the local high
