Autumn in BT
Autumn came suddently to Ukraine this year. Unusually cold weather for almost a week provided a very quick transition from summer to fall. Still, Oleksandria Park is as beautiful as usually this time a year.

Cannons aim for the US
Betty and Joe Cannon are leaving for the US on Thursday, October 29, after spending almost 3 months in Ukraine this time. On Sunday, we had a Farewell Tea Party after worship.
Since this was the Sunday we adjust the clocks to the winter time, some people came and hour early, while those who usually come late, this time arrived on time. What an advantage of having time changed! Haha :)
On pictures, Joe, Betty, Party

Prayer requests
These are always there. We would love to have no problems, but as long as we are in this world, we will shurely have quite a few.
So,
1) For Betty and Joe Cannon, as they travel back home. Travelling proved to be quite a challenge for both of them, especially for Joe.
2) For Alissa, a daughter of Sergiy Strilchuk - she's in the hospital with her mother Olya. She has pneumonea
3) For Lidia Bairakivska. It's basically the same problem she'd had in the past, it seems to be on and off
May the Lord be with you in all of your trials!
Please feel free to add more in your comments.

Books
In the time when the technologies are developing way too fast, the books are still a good investment (unless one has to travel a lot).
Our dear brother Rick Walker, who's now in Kazakhstan, gave our churhc a huge part of his library. Of course, i was not able to use all of them yet, but in my study of the Book of Revelation they turned out to be very valuable and helpful. And, of course, we have quite a few books sent by our brother A.M. Burton from Neshville TN.
And most recently we received another load of books from our dear brother Larry McKenzie, a minister with Highland Church of Christ, Memphis TN. Also David Ralston brought several copies of the Bible (NIV) which we use in our English studies.
We are very much greatfull to all of you for your input and support!
P.S. I guess I need to post some pictures of all the books we have in our library now!

Shans (Chance) Center
Currently I got more involved with the Shans Rehabilitation Center for disabled people. I teach two classes a week on their site - Wednesday and Friday morning, approximately 2 hours each time. We read the book of Acts, Easy-To-Read version of the Bible. It's a very interesting class, and very useful, since along with the opportunity to master English young people get the insight into the spiritual truths.
Since many of my students go to schools and universities, and the transportation provided by the center is not flexible enough to let us have these classes in the afternoons, I was asked to teach extra classes, in our church building. It's a great class too, and about 8-10 come every time. We have it on Mondays and Fridays. When Betty Cannon leaves in a couple of weeks, I hope that young people that come to her classes would join us in our study.

Singing
I do believe singing is the most versatile language that has ever existed. On Tuesday, October 6, David Ralston and Michelle Robertson had brought a group of 12 children, 10 to 14 y.o., for the mission trip in Bila Tserkva. Accompained by 7 other adoults, they gave a concert first in the so called Boys House (the special school for the mentally underdeveloped boys), and later that day in our church building.
In the Boys House
At church we had about 40 people at the concert, many of them are my Shans students. Also, we had four visitors from Skvyra Church of Christ. Andriy Pomaz, a preacher with that congregation had recorded a video, which we'll hopefully put on youtube after he prepairs it.
In between these two concerts we stopped by the Organ House and Oleksndria Park.

For Michelle Robertson it's a second visit in Bila Tserkva. She came with David Ralston earlier this year, in April. She does have a beautiful voice along with the talent of teaching others to sing!
