Pastor Gennadiy noted that even under the most severe and tragic situations in their lives, hardly anyone of them have experienced that at one time many former street kids have experienced. Young people at the rehab themselves, looking at pictures of former street kids drug abusers, were shocked by what they saw. Pastor Gennady insisted in his wishes for them so they do not depart from God, and confidently stood with Him o, and do not be tempted to forget their past forever.The same evening, the pastor- Pilgrim continued this theme already in Augsburg, where he held a service for the local community church, “Zion,” the pastor Ewald Fischer.Gennady Mokhnenko also was able to meet with German friends of the partner church «Christlichen Zentrum life».

German friends were very glad to see pastor, his family, happy to hear funny stories, some tragic moments in the lives of the Pilgrims, and remember the past.But no matter how good it was with old friends you still have to go ahead. After a long drive farther to the North of Germany, for the next two days Gennady Mokhnenko was able to serve in the church “Emmanuel” in Kloppenburg.
