My visit to Manchester, New Hampshire was amazing! I was given such wonderful hospitality by the whole Dolzhanskiy family. From wonderful fellowship at meals to going to church services, I was incredibly blessed by this family. A highlight was most definitely the Ukrainian food I ate. They made wonderful meals and I ate a lot! :) Their family was so friendly and hospitable to me, and I enjoyed every conversation I had with each member of the family! They are very involved in their Ukrainian Church, Slavic Baptist Church, and I was very glad to be able to visit their church. From the music to the various messages preached, it was a blessing. I enjoyed seeing and participating in the services - which have some uniqueness compared to typical American churches. Probably one of my favorite 'unique' customs that I enjoyed was when the whole church kneels to pray. It is very reverent and inspiring! I also had the opportunity to participate and preach at the TriYouth Meetings that the Dolzhanskiys are a part of. The youth group is made up of three different Slavic churches that are in the Manchester area. Overall, my visit with the Dolzhanskiy family was a great blessing, and I thank God for blessing me with this great opportunity. I have posted two pictures with the Dolzhanskiys and a few videos of the special music we did for the church.....
A great THANK YOU to the whole Dolzhanskiy family for your hospitality, generosity, and kindness! God bless you all!
