Description

Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

I spent my childhood in the village. As a child I would often get sick. I had two older sister and a brother. Our mother worked at the collective farm. When I was of school age my mother was taking me to the collective farm where I was helping her. I was a good student in school. After having finished 8 grades I went to Kyiv.

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

Praise God, in Kyiv I started working at the post office and in the evenings I studied in evening school. After finishing school I entered Polytechnic University with evening classes. I had to change my place of work so that my job would match the major I was to get. So I started working as a mechanic at the place. After graduation from the University I worked as an engineer at the Architecture Office. Work conditions were not bad but I had to work a lot.

Tell about your present life.

Just like all other old people I have various sicknesses: bad legs, poor hearing and vision. But thanks God and St. Paul’s Church I receive recommendations and medicines. I trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. His will is for everything.

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

I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ – in Him alone. I try to follow Him. I read and study the Bible. I regularly repent of my sins. I was baptized.

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

My sponsor needs to know that I am a believer, I study the Gospel and believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the way, the bread, the truth and the life. The Lord is our Savior and Helper.
