Pastor Todd Hunnicutt of the International Church of Ljubljana (ICL) came to visit their Sister Church, New Hope Evangelical Church (NHE). ICL was one of the first churches to come alongside a Ukrainian Church, and the idea of the Sister Church Association was birthed by NHE. Pastor Todd brought along his brother- & sister-in-law, Pastors Jim and Ann from North Coast Church in Vista (Californi). Pastor Todd encouraged the church with a word from God and Pastor Jim shared the Gospel with a gathering of impoverished pensioners who come weekly to NHE for a meal.
