The students of the Bible college are not rare guests, they are old acquaintances for the people of the vilage of Otradnoye.On the whole people are very kind to our students. We visited very many families. Some of them stopped visiting the church, some-never visited it. They all gave different reasons for it but some of them continue to read the Bible, leave their former sins. There are people that hate Baptist church but quite a lot changed their attitude and God works in their hearts.

We also helped the church in the town of Soligorsk to invite people to watch the film "Jesus Christ" and went with them to other villages. As a rule we came to the village 2-3 hours earlier and visited the houses inviting people. A lot of the houses are abandoned, some can hardly be called houses. It was very sad. Living in Minsk you forget how people live in a village, what difficult life they have. Some old people were afraid to take our invitations in their working hands, they became unaccustomed to anything bright and beautiful. It was so nice that these old people were able to hear the Gospel at the end of their lives.
