I was born in a very friendly family and was interested in Bible stories when I was a child. My grandmother was a believer and I remember he reading Bible to me.

My mother and grandmother needed medical care. So after I finished school I when to work to a chemical factory – it was manufacture harmful for health but salaries were good and I took that job to help my family.

Yes, I sincerely believe in the Lord Jesus Christ who found me in my childhood through my beloved grandmother and then by His mercy brought me St. Paul Church where I was truly baptized and received solid knowledge about faith at Bible lessons and sermons by Roger and Diane and other teachers and preachers. I am filled with joy and thanksgiving for this spiritual bread and Christian support we receive from our American brothers and sisters.
