Description

Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

I grew up with three sisters and two brothers. I was the youngest in our family – I was greatly loved by everyone. Now everyone from my family except one sister is with the Lord – in our family we prayed and went to church. I finished school in 1967 and tried to enter a medical university but failed the exam.

Where did you work? Was your work good? Were you happy with your job?

I worked in different fields. I loved to travel and meet people. For long time I worked at a big factory in Kyiv at the huge crane. It was hard work, but the Lord was helping me.

Tell about your present life.

My life is over. I am expecting the Lord to take me to heaven – I hope for His mercy since I had many sins in my past. I am suffering of sicknesses. I live with my son Ruslan. My granddaughter visits us. I pray for the war to end soon.

Have you accepted Christ? How long have you been following the Lord?

I have been praying to the Lord since my childhood. When I came to St. Paul Church I joined EE class. I was baptized. The Holy Spirit is in my heart. I became a child of God. On August 20, 2017 I became a member of the church. I believe in Christ. I pray and the Lord helps me. The Lord said in His Word that He takes care of me and I feel it.

Tell about one thing your sponsor needs to know about you.

Beth and Roger Rymers are my sponsors. I am very thankful for their prayers and material help. I pray for them too. Let God bless them with good health, long-living, prosperity and well-being. There were different days in my life – both sad and happy. But I would like to point out three special events: 1. I met Olga Lisenko who invited me to St. Paul Church where I met God. 2. On September 6, 1980 my only son Ruslan was born. I was a single mother. 3. On March 20, 2007 my granddaughter Anna was born. I am very happy to have my family – I love them and  pray for them daily.
