L2R: Victoria (2), Anne, Vitaliy, Skyla (4)
We are missionaries in Kiev, Ukraine. My personal passion and burden is childbirth. Currently I’m studying with Charis Childbirth to be a doula and childbirth educator. I teach childbirth preparation classes in English and Russian (mostly Russian), and I attend births as a doula. I’m also an aspiring midwife. Currently, I’m heading up the start of a home for women in crisis pregnancy, and helping start a crisis pregnancy hotline and counseling service. We are committed to sharing the gospel and offering life-giving counsel.
Vitaliy, my hero husband, is passionate about evangelism. (His blog is here.) His heart beats for reaching the lost, and that the average church member be equipped to evangelize. His vision is “fruitfulness and assurance of eternal life for every believer.” He trains lay members to evangelize, helps with evangelism seminars, and takes small groups out witnessing at least once a week. (He also does a thousand and one things in our local church; they recently ordained him as a pastor-evangelist.)
