Orphans in Ukraine.

I often hear how people say,
- I feel sorry for orphans, but I do not know how I can help.
- 100 000 orphans in Ukraine is sad, but I think that businesspersons are the ones who should help them, etc.

Orphans need our help and anyone can do it. But another question is: how to help correctly? Helping to no harm.

Unity with God.

Hi everybody. I came to USA again. This time our team is in New England. I want to share something :) Today I realized how important

Story about the Give and Take.

We moved to Los Angeles in the beginning of November. It turned out that we have a disabled neighbor. His name is Eldritch. He cannot walk alone, but only move around in a wheelchair. He was so glad that the young Ukrainian missionaries arrived and somehow started to buy us food.

The Power of Community.

In XX century, the main problem of mankind has been the communist ideology. Through materialism communism trampled the concept of love, explaining it as ordinary physiological processes, denying its unique, eternal, unchanging and absolute aspects. Humanity has overcome communism - the Soviet Union collapsed.

A Big Trouble.

UN OCHA says there are 2.5 million people displaced by Russian aggression in Ukraine. That’s more than during the war in Bosnia.

It is sad that many people still fail to recognize the fact that it's a real war in Ukraine.

A Plan and a Destiny

I think each of us has faced with a dilemma in life: to plan or just to trust one’s destiny. You've probably noticed that things don't always go according to the plan in daily business. Through my own experience I came to the conclusion that this is an endless cycle - you plan first, which helps a lot, but when it turns into a routine repetition you observe decrease in results. Many people start to give up in that case. The key is the unity with the target. If deviation from the plan and daily self-check strengthens the connection with target, just deny planning.

A Royal Water Ride.

Our group of 6 now blessed to stay with Ray & Ikuyo McCready in their beautiful home in Seattle, WA. Last Sunday we attended Seattle Family Church. Sermon was titled "Give Yourself a Royal Treatment". Preacher Michael Lancey explained our identity as royal children of God, who is the King of Kings. And we have the mission of building God's Kingdom. After the service Michael unexpectedly offered us a ride on his motor boat. 

Ukraine: The Price of Independence

Only seven percent of Ukraine’s territory is occupied but it is industrial and highly populated area. It is not a civil war, Russian aggression started in spring of 2014. Many call it a proxy war, but I would call it a hybrid war. It includes propaganda, information war, oil war, etc. Only now people in Ukraine started to realize what the price of freedom is.

America Through Ukrainian Eyes.

This year, my old desire to visit America came true. The interview for a visa at the embassy was in May of this year. I was surprised that there are no queues, everything right on schedule. Speaking to the American Consul, I felt that the most important thing for Americans, so that people who come to their country, would not have any bad goals in mind, and be honest to others.

Coming to the USA.

My visit to the United States is an unusual experience... Such unexpected God's blessing. I never wanted to go to America, unlike my older brother who thought about it and still dreaming about it. My idea of ​​America was really fantastic, as many American movies fantastic too, so I did not even dream of coming to America. Such was

Global Vision.

My name is Alex. This is my 5th visit to America. For me it's a good training and education. In America I met people from all over the world. This week I met a man form a small island located between Japan and America. It really helped me to understand more about the world. One day I was

Choice Issue.

Today, in the morning I was trying to make a cup of hot tea and stopped for a moment because too many different kinds of tea bags were in front of me. Making a choice is hard, but today I want to talk about how people join the church. Because too many say, "It was my choice". Was it really our choice when we joined the church?

O, Utah!

We've got an incredible experience in the state of Utah. One woman, Judy Miller, hosted us in her house for 2 weeks. Can you imagine it? Four unknown guys were living in the house of 60-year old woman. But this is not all.

The Sunny Sacramento.

It is not the first time I'm giving this presentation but still I was anxious. I tried to understand what kind of message God wants to communicate to precious community of the Sacramento Valley Family Church. Of course I felt confident because I was going to talk not the abstract ideas or invisible things but practical activity and substantial results of my Ukrainian community.

Back to the USA.

As we were going down in elevator my wife suddenly found out she forgot her phone and went back. But when she finally made it outside the taxi with me inside was gone to the airport. She hoped to embrace me tight and kiss before I will go to the USA. This was the beginning of my mission trip to America which this time will last around 3 month.

The Stop in Memphis.

Hi, everybody. In April we moved from New Orleans to Baton Rouge. There new brother Eugene joined our team and we became four. Soon Yuriy went back to Ukraine and Eugene took his place. We made a long jump to Memphis, Tennessee. We joined Sunday service in Abraham family's home church. It was a great meeting, we got to know Japanese brother Takashi and sister Junco. Also I shared about youth ministries in Ukraine. Afterwards we visited great restaurant where I ate oysters for the first time :) Blessings to everybody!

Individualism Vs. Collectivism

Hello, friends! How are you doing?

I am already two weeks in Ukraine. Thanks God, I had safe trip back home. My family and Ukrainian community gave me warm welcoming. My daughters are really happy they can spend time with their daddy.

My wife and youngest daughter. 

Today I want to talk about individualism.

Family Happiness.

In Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in a cellphone store I met Mrs. Carmen. As we were talking, I asked her about her family. She sincerely said that she is very lucky having her husband. I was really surprised. Usually women do not say like this... And they are married for 18 years.
