2024-01-05

The Bible Way Church ordained Veniamin Shnitkov to the position of church cook on December 31, 2023. Before this, the head of the canteen was Marek Syrvyda (deacon of the church). Due to his ordination to a high position (church presbyter), Marek had to find a replacement for himself and transfer his team to the new head of the canteen. Veniamin Shnitkov was trained and was the main assistant to Marek Syrvyda. From 2024, Veniamin will be the head of the canteen and, together with his team, will serve in the kitchen. This is quite a young brother! Thank God that there are young people who want to serve the church and the Lord!
