ANTON IVANOVICH HAPITSKY 
 
I was born in March 1971 in Kirovograd. My mother is an engineer and has a private business. My father is a fitter. My parents live in Chernovtzy.

I  graduated from medical school and served in the Army as a medical assistant. Then I worked in a maternity home.  Since 994 I have had a private business. In 1998 I received God.
and was baptized.  When I moved to Kirovograd, I joined Grace Church and began serving there. I took part in numerous evangelic activities, and home groups. For a year I studied at the Moscow Bible college (2000 - 2001).  At present I am a missionary in Znamenka, Kirovograd oblast.
 
Plans and aims of my serving God:
To fulfill the great and noble task entrusted me by Jesus- to evangelize and be an active missionary. Creation of a church which will be influential in Znamenka where I'm servicing since 1998 and am a leader of a home group,  and sing in the glorifying group.

PERSONAL TESTIMONY

I have never doubted that God exists. I even considered myself a believer. I attended church, lit candles. But that was not faith but simple religious ritual.
I knew that there is a better world somewhere behind the curtain. Occultism was very inviting at that period of my life. I took it up. Started to take some light narcotics(drugs),and drank a lot.. Then I had great material losses.
I  wanted to dedicate myself to something superior.
I turned into a fatalist. Thoughts about suicide tortured me.
 
But a miracle happened in my life. God called me, He healed my heart, He forgave my sins, and He made me a new man, enjoying life.  No more drinking, smoking, idleing. He is my best friend. He brought my parents to Himself, too.  Hallelujah!
