ODESSA

I have the privilege of serving in Odessa, Ukraine.  Odessa is nestled next to the Black Sea, and is a major shipping port.

Odessa is the 5th largest city in Ukraine, and has a population of a little over one million people.  The city was established in 1240.  If only the walls could talk.  This magnificent city has been under control by the Tatars, Lithuania, Ottoman Sultan, Russia, Soviet Union, and now Ukraine.  
The city is wonderful, but what makes it beautiful are the amazing people.  To find out more about Odessa, please visit the following website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odessa
