Viaceslav said the small group of believers “will now have our own nest where new believers will be born, nurtured, and grow into mature believers to bring others to faith in Christ.”

Gunter, a charter member of the group, has not missed an international tour in the 40 years of his membership. “Some folks fish, some go hunting, but singing is my therapy,” he said.
