The Lord brought us to Himself in different ways, but we accepted Christ at about the same time, when we were students but didn't know each other. Julie was influenced by her friends who volunteered at CRU and her grandmother. I met Christians at a soccer tournament the church was organizing with CRU, and a couple months after the tournament I was told the gospel and repented. Julia moved to Kiev to study at university and started Campus Crusade right away.I moved to work and serve more in the mission too, to see if I wanted to devote my next years to this ministry and become a staff member. And the more I served, I saw how the Lord was using me and leading me into this ministry.Since 2017, I have been serving full time as a staff. Yulia had been actively serving all her college years in the campus and spent a lot of time among the students and the Lord called her to full time ministry too in 2019 and that year, but later we started dating and got married a short time later. Now the Lord has already given us a beautiful son, Timothy.

Our ministry and vision

Before the war, we served in Dnipro, a city in eastern Ukraine. But because of the war, we were forced to change our place of service and residence and now serve in Kyiv. Our vision is mature student leaders with a Christian worldview and values serving Ukrainian society.We accomplish this through our coffee shop, events, evangelism, and discipleship.
