Swing!

Grisha attended last year's conference for a day, but then left. He was saved about 2 months ago, so this year's conference was all new for him. A great change Christ has made in his life.

Specators

Looking past Natasha, 3 Teen boys stand watching, one of which spectated last year too. Most are so hardened in sin by 15 that they won't come any closer to Jesus.
