I was born in
Moscow, Russia in 1976. My father was very abusive, and my mother
was always in deep depression. I spent my childhood and youth
without hope. We were very poor and I often wondered why no one
wants to help us. This explains why I conduct relief work here in
Russia among orphans and street children. I don't want these
children to grow up without love and care like I did. I'm grateful
that I learned how to read and write, because of that I was able to
learn English on my own, and found a pan pall in the US. This woman
came here to visit me in Russia.
At the age of 16 I asked her to help me to begin a modeling career
in the US and she agreed. I was working as model for one and a half
years and I was very disappointed. Many of the models were on drugs
and there was much jealousy and hatred around me. I became
depressed; because I didn't want to be a model anymore, but I didn't
know what I wanted to do with my life.
A friend at school invited me to church, where I accepted Jesus as
my savior. God has really changed me! I became a very happy person.
I went to an excellent church: I became involved in praise and
worship team, evangelistic team and children's ministry. I also
began attending the University of Washington and working at our
church's school part time. The Lord prepared me for missionary work
here in Moscow. I graduated from the UW in International Studies and
worked as a Medical Interpreter.
In 2000 I came to Moscow as a missionary. I really enjoy taking care
of the broken and wounded. I'm a leader of praise and worship. I
pray for people. God has showed to me my calling. I feel really
happy. I enjoy gathering clothes for those who have none and sharing
the love of Jesus with them. Do you know Jesus today? Please, write
to me if you want to know more about Him. He has never failed me. He
has made me glad! I hope you try Him today.
