Description

Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

I grew up in the village. I had two more brothers. Our family had a big garden, a cow, pigs, geese and chickens. So my childhood was not hungry. Kids had to walk 4 miles to school.

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

I worked at a factory where it was terrible hot in summer and very cold in winter. But I was happy with my salary and work schedule. I was pleased with my job because then I was already a widow with two daughters.

Tell about your present life.

I live with my older daughter with my older daughter outside of Kyiv. In 2014 I had to leave my home in Lugansk because of the Russian invasion.

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

I have been studying the Word of God for about 6 years. I believe in the Lord and know that the Almighty One is with us. I pray and believe that the Prince of Peace along with our army will bring victory to Ukraine.

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

I am 76. I came from Lugansk because of the war. I believe our army will win this war because God is with us. Thank you for helping us – thus we feel that we are not alone. We love you. Be warmed up with Christ’s love and our gratitude for your support.
