In 1954 I got a job at a big plant in Kyiv. I had worked at the same place for 38 years. My job was interesting and I was very pleased.

I am 86. I have high blood pressure, diabetes and bad legs. I have a niece who does grocery shopping for me. I am thankful to Tatiana Lukyanenko for delivering food vouchers to me.
Have you accepted Christ? How long have you been following the Lord?
Nadia Yunosheva invited me to the church. Since I came to the church I have been so energized by Roger’s and Diana’s sermons – I understood it was from the Lord so I came to faith and have been in church ever since.

In 1978 my son died and I was left alone – this loss greatly affected my health.
