Happy Day in Tomsk

Tomsk, Russia
  On February 27th the foreign members of the congregation in Tomsk took part in the annual Festival of Non-secular Music “Oikumena.” It was dedicated to the annual Worldwide Week for Inter-religious Relationships which was founded by the UN General Assembly in 2010. Alfa Edison Ilela, Richardo Alexander Nunumete, Rafael Patuan Siahim, Giapfy Iboa Ebinizer performed the song “Oh, Happy Day!”
  Since 2010 these young people have attended the Tomsk congregation and frequently bring joy to the worship service with their songs.  Alfa and Richardo (from Indonesia) are graduate students at the Tomsk Politech University, Rafael is also from Indonesia and he and Giapfy (from Giana) are in the bachelor's degree program at the same university. These young men are the core of the youth ministry of the congregation and take part in all congregational events.
