This is a photo of a group of people associated with the Tent Mission led by Jacob (Jasch) Dyck (man standing at left in uniform), the brother-in-law to Nicholas Fehderau. Jasch married Nicholas's sister, Tina, in summer 1916. One consequence of the revolution was that the prohibition against evangelization by Mennonites among neighbouring Ukrainians (Russians) was lifted. However, as the civil war raged on, this particular Tent Mission became the target of banditry. On 26 October 1919, five of the Tent Missionaries were killed during an evangelistic campaign in Eichenfeld, including Jasch Dyck. See p.239 in Nicholas's biography, A Mennonite Estate Family in Southern Ukraine.

This photo is of Jakob and Tina Dyck, sister and brother-in-law to Nicholas J. Fehderau, who were missionaries, evangelizing in Russian villages. Their vision was to begin a Tent Mission. This photo is of people gathered for the dedication of the first tent.
