About Us

They married in 2006 and now they and their son Nataniel are living in Tyachev Ukraine. They are working with Bible study groups with the plan of starting a new church. They are also working with evangelical camps to bring the gospel to children and teens in the area. The Lord has been very good to them and they want to be faithful to His calling for them to work in His kingdom.

Room to be finished off for family

Here is a picture of a room that we want to help finish off for the older girls of the family pictured below. The father of the family has been trying to add on a room to the house to make more room for the family but he dosn't have the finances to finish it. With the help of a young girl from America, (who saved up 200 dollars to donate to work in Ukriane), and the help of others, we hope to finish off the room for the family. Praise the Lord!! We will share with you a picture in the future when the room gets finished!

The Mishinko family

This is a family that is dear to us. This family has come into our lives two years ago when the three older children started coming to the Christian children's club. These three children ( Misha, Brigi, and Sondi) have all three given their lives to Christ and are growing in their faith. The family of seven live in two very small rooms and in very poor conditions. We are praying that God would work through these wonderful children to save the parents and the rest of the family as well!

We have been having a great time hanging out with our family. Last night we had a picnic and family pictures taken at a beautiful park. Here is a picture of our big crazy family. It is growing like crazy! We have fifteen adults and fifteen children! A lot of fun!

Hello! Well dear friends, the day has finally come to get our own blog started. We hope that it will be a blessing to our readers and a glory to our God. We will try to keep you informed about how God is working here in Ukriane, our prayer requests, and just things about our life here. Hope you enjoy this blog and I will do my best to keep it updated. I am not the most computer literate person, so please bear with me!
