Our mission is to help people find a path no one knew was there (Psalm 77:19 NLT).

We know what they are looking for: a fresh hope in the midst of emptiness, strength and joy for day to day living, healing for their deepest pain, courage for their greatest challenges, and spiritual peace that only the Gospel of Jesus Christ offers (Rom. 5:1).

First spring days are warm and nice and there are snowdrops blooming around. March 8 is a Women’s Day, the holiday that we inherited from our soviet past.
