Tell about your childhood, school, family, etc.

I grew up in a friendly family of believers. We had cherry and apple trees. I took care of cows in field and thus I made some money to buy school uniform and books. I loved to study – I was the best student in school.

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

I graduated from Kyiv State University majoring in mechanics and math. I was sent to work to the Institute of economics at the computer science department.  I worked with the first computers – I loved that job!  I received an apartment and later gave birth to my two sons. Then I taught math at school – Working with kids was interesting.

Tell about your present life.

I am thankful to God for my life. I was born in a village and then could move to Kyiv. I have very caring kids and grandkids. My favorite granddaughter Anna studies in Germany to become a psychologist – she knows English and German well. She calls me every day and sends me medicines. I read my Bible every day and pray in the mornings. I know psalm 91 by heart. I learn English and do my morning exercises. I have very bad hip and knee joints but I try to fight my disease.

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

I thank God for everything. I have been a believer since my childhood. I am happy I could make it till 77. I thank God I can see and read my Bible. I listen to Christian radio. I am very thankful to our American friends for their help. I conduct modest living and have everything I need. I thank God and enjoy life.

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

I start every day with a pray. I pray for Roger and Diane, and my sponsor Carol who is very caring, she sent me a special diet I need. I thank God for special canes I received from St. Paul Church. I am thankful for all our church members – I wish them health and God’s blessings. I ask the Lord to heal me so I could make it to church. I used to sing in our congregational choir – I was very happy then. I compose and perform my songs. I thank God for you – I pray for your health. I thank Viktoria and Sasha and all our church ministers. Let God keep you all. Love and thanks.
