Our Missionary Team!

Roman Demchuk-Leader
My name is Roman Demchuk. I was born in 1990 in Ukraine, Volunska region city Roshzhezshe. I was born in a christian family. In 2007 my family moved to Sacramento, California. I was baptized in 2009 and I became a member of a church in this city. After Baptism God put it on my heart to go to Slavic Missionary Bible School in Florida, and with Gods will I took that step. January 1th, 2010 I came to this school where I am currently at, studying and growing daily in the knowledge of Jesus. After SMBS I am planning to go to Ukraine for a missions trip. I will help people in their needs and preach the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ!






Arkady Tveretinov
Arkady is from Sedalia Missouri. He is a member at "Word of Life" with Pastor Vladimir Dub. He has been going there for 5 years now and has been a member since June 2009. This will be his first missionary trip and his first time out of the U.S. He is very excited to serve and preach God's word to the people in Mahirintsi.

Lana is from Atlanta, GA. She has been in America since 1992. Lana loves God and people, and wants to serve others. She strives to do God's will and is willing and ready to go on this missions trip. She is asking for spiritual and financial support in any way from anyone. She thanks everyone for your prayers and financial support, and blesses you in the name of Jesus Christ our God!

My name is Alena! I am 19 and from Minneapolis, MN. This is my first missions trip, and my first time leaving the country since we moved here from Belarus in 1993. I was born in Minsk, Belarus and have lived in MN for the last 15 years of my life. Currently, as everyone else in my group, I am in Bible School and am spiritually getting myself ready for this missions trip. I ask anyone for any support you can give us, because this will be a difficult time in our lives, but this is a blessing to others! Thanks for your support!

First, to be the light to those who do not know God and second, to help them. Pray for our group so that God may help us and that He will go in front of us and guide our paths!

Update #2

Crazy stuff! Today we bought even more stuff for our village. I honestly never realized how much money it takes to go on a missions trip. It's all going to be worth it though, and God will bless us very much! The packages have been delayed a couple days because it's been such a hectic week for everybody. We still have a list of supplies we need to buy for our village, but that's not until tomorrow. Otherwise planning is going great!

First Post!

We have definitely gone on our way to get ready for the missions field. This is a hectic time in our lives and we need any and all prayers! We are going to Mahirovka, Ukraine, in the Hmelnitskaya Oblast'. Some of our prayer requests are: for our village, for our financial situation within the group, for the house in the village, for God to send us good people who want to hear His word, and for every single one of us especially our leader Roman, because the pressure will be hardest on him! I will try to update this blog a couple times a week until the trip itself, and then at least once a week. If God puts it in your heart to donate, please do, and just know it's going to a good cause! Some of the things we will be doing will be childrens ministry, evangelism, good deeds, and others. Our main point coming into the village is to get to know the people and show a Christian lifestyle. This missionary point is a place no missionaries have been before and we are planning on opening a church. We don't have much more information just yet, but this monday we are sending out our FIRST packages to our missionary point. They should be getting there in about a month and a half. This is all the information we know of so far, but we will definitely keep everyone updated!
