Description

Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

What I remember from my childhood is that my mother’s parents and their daughter were taken away by the German Gestapo. And we never saw them again. My mother had six children. And I was the youngest. I went to school, I was very interested in sports, gymnastics, and freestyle wrestling. I served in the army. Later I graduated from a technical school for refrigeration equipment maintenance. I continued to work in this field, responsible for controlling measuring devices and installing refrigeration units. I love our beautiful Kyiv very much.

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

I worked in a specialized research and repair department for the installation and repair of automation and refrigeration units. I have always loved working. My respected parents taught me this. My father was a chief engineer at a research institute, and my mother was a music teacher. I have always been creative in my work. I have always loved my work. I also think that deep down I loved our Lord Jesus Christ.

Tell about your present life.

Now life is more or less normal. I have a small pension. I have brochial asthma. It bothers me a lot, but I take care of my condition. I remember from my childhood reading an old, worn-out Gospel. I thank God for everything.

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

We had an antique edition of the Gospel at home. I always read it with fascination when I was alone. But I began to study the Bible in more detail now. My pastor and other believers help me with this. I am grateful to the Lord God for His mercy, which He gives me every second. I hope that I will never leave Him.

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

I think the main thing is how I relate to God. I cannot imagine myself without God Jesus Christ. Maybe I don’t always manage to pray correctly, but I always turn to God to help me overcome life situations and help me.
