Description

Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

In 1949 we moved into a town. My mother worked as a genitor since she was illiterate. We were living in bathroom facilities. In 1954 we moved to Kyiv where we lived in barracks.

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

I started working at 15. I worked at different factories mostly as a mechanic. Most interesting jobs were in assemble departments. I left factory work when the USR collapsed. Then I was working as a guard. My last job was in the University of trade as an electrician – it was my most favorite one.

Tell about your present life.

My first wife died in 2012 – we have a daughter. I divorced my second wife – we have two sons in that marriage. All my kids live in different parts of Kyiv.

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

When I was 16 I got eczema of both hands. I spent 2.5 months in the hospital. Then every year in June this illness came back – it was not curable. The I went to a healer who prayed over me and my illness gradually disappeared. I am thankful to the Lord.

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

My work at factories did not result in decent pension. Due to the church’s support I have enough for my living. Now Ukraine is in danger since it was attacked by Russia. Ukraine will win. Glory to Ukraine. Glory to God.
