Gospel Expedition

A new point for our journey was the town of Khilok. It was not difficult for the members of the Expedition to reach it. There was a little rain, but the cyclists have become accustomed to mountainous roads. The grades were not as steep as before.

Khilok is a railroad junction along the Trans-Siberian railroad. Most of its inhabitants work there. There is no UECB church. There is only one Christian man there, and his name is Alexander. He received the Expedition and got permission from the town administration for the evangelistic meeting, which was held next to the town hall. Many people were ready to listen to the Gospel. There are virtually no cultural centers in the town, so the visit of evangelists and musicians became a special event for the inhabitants of Khilok.

Children who attended the meeting not only took part in the program, but also wanted the cyclists to write their wishes on the covers of the New Testaments that we gave to them. Some adults followed the children’s example here, and were exhorted in the faith.
