I grew up in a family of religious parents: my grandfather was an evangelist minister in the Rivne region, and my father served as the pastor of the church in Verkhovtseve city. There were three children in the family: I and sisters Yulia and Tetyana.
- In 1985, I received holy water baptism, after which I was a youth leader.
- In 1988, I was ordained a deacon.
- I graduated from the branch of the Moscow Bible Institute in Dnipropetrovsk sity and in 1992 was elected pastor of a new church in Vilnohirsk city.
I have a family: a wife, three daughters, five grandchildren, and I thank the Lord for this.
