Description

Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

I was born in a family of teachers. I was raised as a good-mannered and respectful child. It was  hard childhood. Often there was no food so I learnt to appreciate everything I had. My parents worked day and night to be able to provide for our family. When I grew up I received two university degrees.

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

I graduated from Kyiv Music College and the Conservatory. All my life I had worked with kids at music school. The Lord has always been with me. And I was teaching my students to believe, worship and follow the Lord!

Tell about your present life.

I have disability of the 2^nd degree – I suffer of asthma. I have to take hormones to be able to breath. I often stay at hospital for IVs treatment for I am allergic to so many things. It is hard to live at such age with no support from your family. My only happiness is faith in Jesus Christ and our St. Paul Church that takes care of the elderly and disable.

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

I believe in Christ, our only Lord God, yes! My mother taught me this faith and different prayers! When I started studying the Bible in St. Paul church I learnt more about my Lord and Savior.

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

I pray and know that the Prince of Peace, our Mighty God will give us victory over our enemy, peace and happiness. He will keep us safe in this war for He is Almighty God, Father of Eternity, Wonderful Counselor! Amen!!!
