Eteri is Pastor Temiri's mother and my dearest friend! Her husband died when she was 23 and since that time for years she was wearing black dresses ( Sign of life time mourning according to traditions of the country). Only after she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior, She began to wear coloured clothing. She never married and raised 2 of her sons who are ministers today. Eteri worked so hard at the hospital in Tbilisi as maternity nurse plus worked at home with her boys to grow vegetables and fruits . She did not have much but always was generous in giving away the fruit of her garden and field. Amazing woman!

I know Pastor Temuri since 1992 when he came to study at the Bible school. I was an interpreter for American missionaries and teachers . Temuri started a church in his native village of Muhrany and is very respected by people .

Temuri told me that he visited every house in the village and shared the Gospel with every family .

Even Orthodox priest is very respectful of him - that is a rear thing!!)))

Yes, it is Temuri's puppy sleeping on my arm))))
