About me
I live in the city of Cannes in the south of France with my wonderful wife, Mariya, and our two boys: Alexander (14) and David (10).
Our heart goes out for the lost in the city, so we try to lead outreaches, be out there as much as possible handing out tracts, sharing the gospel and open-air preaching. We created a website with a clear gospel presentation and resources in 5 languages as our city is very touristic. I also have the joy of serving as Personal Assistant to Ray Comfort, helping in his evangelism ministry.
I have had the privilege of being one of the featured teachers at the European Ambassadors' Academy by Living Waters. Here is a short view from the street outreach in the end of 2019.
We've been meeting in a Hotel every Sunday since December 2014 for worship and the preaching of the Bible. Our fellowship is still a handful of people (6 adults and 2 children) but we walk by faith, being faithful in the small things and trusting God for the future.
I open up the Scriptures every Sunday and preach in French, while my wife translates real-time in Russian for 2 of our members. It is all recorded, archived online and also broadcasted live.
Desiring to be better equipped to minister to our church plant and to be able to preach the word with precision and clarity, I enrolled the Master in Divinity program with The Master's Seminary's international outreach: The Master's Academy International, through the European Bible Training Center in Berlin.
The program lasts 6 years, with some live-online classes and other in one of the TMAI locations in Europe or even at the TMS in California.
Here is a short interview published by the TMAI in 2019.
It has been an amazing journey so far and I so look forward to the rest of it. I email a short update every two months to those who are willing to keep me, my family, studies and ministry in prayer. Sign up HERE.
Can you help?
The Lord has provided for me to enroll and cover some classes so far -- something that seemed impossible. I need help in order to continue pursuing my studies. Please considering partnering with me so I can better serve the local church by being equipped to rightly divide the word of truth.
