This is my father. And for me, he is already a Hero! 5:00 a.m. I hear about the war. Immediately called and begged my father to run! His answer: “No”. I began to cry! I cried into his phone for a long time. All those happy moments of our life together flashed before my eyes…
Once a year, our church here has a baptism service at a small lake here in Brovary. We start a baptism class a couple of months before the service for those who want to follow the Lord Jesus in obedience to receive water baptism. It is a very special day for the church and for…
When we first began to hear about Coronavirus / COVID-19 back at the beginning of March, I suspect that none of us had any idea what was about to happen. A global pandemic, while it has certainly happened before in history, is unprecedented in our lifetimes. All of our lives changed. For the first few…
Every year we look forward to the Voronkov camp. Both of the years we were back in the States, Mary travelled back here to participate. We have been looking forward to it since we returned in January. Planning for it began several months ago and so much went into it. The Voronkov camp is always…
We returned from the Azov camp on the 21st and the following week another camp started in Zhytomyr. We decided that Bethany and Seth would go with Mary, Micah, and Eliana and that I (Chris) would stay home with the other kids. Bethany and Seth had been with the kids the time we were gone…

I am sure you have heard that the Malone family will be moving back to Ukraine on January 15, 2017. We, their friends, brothers and sisters in Christ, and fellow church members can go on mission with them. God calls each of us to something. Some are to go. Some are to give financial support. And…
It’s #GivingTuesday! On this day when so many are looking for ways to use their resources in a way that multiplies them for good, please consider the Lord’s work in Ukraine. Ukraine Ministries of Oklahoma has been working in Ukraine since the early 1990’s and the Lord has consistently met the financial needs for the…
When we left Ukraine in February 2015, we assumed it would be forever – or at least for many years. However, during the summer, it because obvious that God was leading us back to our home outside of Kyiv, Ukraine. We are making preparations now to make the transition from the USA in mid-January.
