About

Learn more about our church by checking out our spotlight!

The Church in Cherkasy is pastored by Viktor with the support of his wife Nadiia. After becoming ordained in the Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Ukraine, Viktor moved to Cherkasy to plant a new church in 2007.

Because the economic situation in Ukraine during the war is very difficult, Viktor currently does not have employment outside the church. Together, Viktor and Nadiia are actively involved in the Christian Homeschooling movement in Ukraine, helping local families and conducting regular HS seminars. They are committed to Sunday services and ask people to pray that they could reach those who don’t know about our Lord through Bible Study groups. For several years, the church building provided shelter for refugees.

Currently, the church continues to support refugee families affiliated with it. Additionally, the church is prepared to welcome missionaries from the United States who are willing to assist in the development of Christianity in Cherkasy.

Viktor and Nadiia have been married for over three decades, and have two grown daughters: Kate and Paulina, and four adorable grandchildren.

Pray for

  • Protection and safety for the people and our city during air raid alerts. Every two days, 5 to 7 Shahed drones are shot down in our region, but some still hit their targets and even after they are destroyed, the shrapnel can cause damage.
  • Our plan to start a church-wide study of Kenneth Sande’s book The Peacemaker, as the Ukrainian translation has recently been published.
  • The city’s readiness for winter: a timely start to the heating season and a stable power supply (scheduled power outages have already been introduced over the past month).

Praise for

  • The continuation of the sermon series on the Book of James. Pray that it will help us live out our faith more fully.
  • The unity of the church around God’s Word amidst the trials of wartime.
  • The availability of electricity and water supply during church services.
