Website: MissionEurasia.org Gift catalog: https://missioneurasia.org/your-gifts-change-lives/ Sergey recalls his struggles with faith during his youth under Soviet pressure, his spiritual turning point after overhearing his parents’ prayers, and the deepening of his faith while serving in the Soviet army. After studying at Moody Bible Institute and settling in the U.S., he began leading Mission Eurasia, which was headquartered in Irpin, Ukraine, until the facility was destroyed early in the Russian invasion. Undeterred, the ministry mobilized thousands of trained young Christian leaders to provide food, trauma counseling, Scripture, and hope to millions of displaced and suffering Ukrainians. Sergey describes programs such as Summer of Hope camps for children and Gift of Hope Christmas outreach, all designed to bring healing, comfort, and the message of Christ amid the devastation of war, concluding with a heartfelt prayer for Ukraine, its people, and the end of the conflict.
