Description

Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

My childhood was not easy at all. In order to attend school, I had to walk about 16 kilometers (10 miles) a day. It was the closest school to us.

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

I didn’t get a higher education at first, but went to work at a factory. There I got a specialty as a fitter. I graduated from a technical college at the same factory, which gave me a higher position at work. I was the head of my section. It was a very good job. Later, when my children grew up, I went to work at the Aviation University as a senior engineer and team manager.

Tell about your present life.

Throughout my career, I have enjoyed my work very much. My daughter also graduated from two universities with a degree in chemistry and engineering and another in psychology. She speaks good English. She now works at the Ministry of Health as a senior inspector. My son also had a technical degree and worked on a submarine. It’s very sad that he died.

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

I really believe that God is alive. I often ask God for forgiveness and help. God helps me on every path of my life. I started believing in Him since I came to St. Paul’s Church in 2009.

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

Unfortunately, now I have difficult living conditions. Before my son died, he treated me badly and cheated me. As a result, I gave him and his wife everything I had – my apartment, car, garage. Now I live in a small apartment and suffer a lot from what happened to me. I go to St. Paul’s Church and receive social support. I am very grateful to everyone who helps me.
