Dear Pastors and Friends,

Warm Christmas greetings from the Slobodians. This month's video
comes from St. Petersburg, Russia where we had the opportunity to
visit brother Oleg who is faithfully serving the Lord in this huge
city of 5.7 million. Since brother Oleg speaks fluent English you
hear directly from him without interpretation.

St. Petersburg has always had a severe shortage of housing and almost
all live in apartments, most of which are small. In this video, we
get a glimpse of a typical 2 room apartment which is a combination
kitchen & bedroom, a hallway, and one other room that serves as a
children's bedroom as well as a small office.

During the Soviet era, 20% of the population lived in communal
apartments where families shared restrooms and kitchens. Today the
situation has improved and only 5% of the population continues to
live in such communal apartments.

In Christ,

Sam & Amy Slobodian
