I first met Dima and his family in Pavlovka in 1999. Pavlovka is a tiny village on the border of Moldova and we had gone there to baptize some new Christians. As I visited with Dima God seemed to show me that Dima was intended to become God's servant. Today Dima is not only God's servant but serves as our staff coordinator throughout Ukraine. Darrell

Lena is not only a community leader, she is a strong Christian, a wife who works in harness with her husband, and is a good mother and grandmother.

Misha and I began working together in 1997 when he and a group of youth from Artsyz district loaded me into an old ambulance and we drove through fields, muddy roads to reach the lost. We visited 16 villages ranging from 1,500 people to small towns of 10,000- all in 14 days. God blessed us with over 420 new Christians- all needing follow-up. Misha organized a team of deacons and began to start churches where there had been none before. He is still at it. On those muddy roads I gave him the title of 'Tank Driver' and today he is still 'Misha The Tank Driver'

Ivan joined the staff of Gospel Vision Foundation in August 2005. Since that time he has proved himself to be a workman that need not be ashamed.

This young man is a dynamic preacher and sold out to God?s Kingdom- I spent time with him and his wife Katya in April and he told me this story- and more. I ask him to write it for me and he did not want to do it because he said all the glory belonged to God not to him. I finally persuaded him by telling him that it would encourage some of God?s other people to continue to claim His promises and live for him. In August all of the Ukrainian leaders met in his home to set goals for the next 3 years work in Ukraine. I think his testimony will bless you, thanks for taking time to read it. Darrell

He tells them that religion brings rules, Jesus brings freedom and forgiveness.

Father Vladimir is an Orthodox priest about 30 years old. Our missionary Vadim Chorney became friends with him about two years ago and as they talked he learned that he had to be born again! Vladimir was amazed and hungry to learn from God?s Word. BUT- now he had to make a major decision...Would he, indeed COULD he stay in the Orthodox Church or not?...

We are so proud of Roman and his wife Maria. Though his first months report sounds apologetic, he has no need to be sorry, ? only 12 saved!! If 12 people repented and were saved, that is 12 more in the Kingdom of God, and THAT is what Gospel Vision Foundation is all about!
