I am in Odessa, Ukraine, a big city at the Black Sea. Why am I here?? I am studying here in Seaside Missionary Training Centre. Since I became a Christian I knew that I want to be involved in ministry. To be more effective servant I thought that it is good to be trained, to learn from others their experience.  I heard about this school from my pastor Tomek Krążek who is involved in organization called International Messengers. I came here with my sister in Christ Sylvia, she is from my home church in Borne Sulinowo, Poland.In first week of September we were learning about spiritual disciplines and spiritual gifts, in second week- about discipleship, in third week we had Bible overview an also classes about world religions, in last week of September we were learning how to study Bible and raise support. Every week of learning was different and learned me so many important things. For example, I realized that as a Christian I have to develop spiritual disciplines like Bible intake, pray, worship, silent and solitude etc. Classes about discipleship opened my eyes for great need such us disciplining younger in faith. In future I would like to be discipler for younger girls Believers here such us Arkady Naydenov (Ukrainian missionary), Mark Huffman (director of school, American missionary), his wife Kim (my cool accountability partner) help us to involve ministry here in Odessa, we attend Bible Study and English Club in Christian University. This meetings are great opportunity to meet many young Ukrainian people, get to know them, talk about faith, learn English and  play games. Students:Anton(Ukraine), Dima(Ukraine), Vali(Romania), Szymon(Poland), Sergey(Ukraine), Sylwia(Poland),Anna(Ukraine)Marina(Ukraine), me
Important thing which happened in my life is that I fell in love in God’s Word. Classes about Bible intake motivated me to read book “Spiritual Disciplines For  The Christian Life”  by Donald Whitney. First few chapters helped me to understand that without this daily bred (Bible) Christians can’t survive.  I discipline myself to read, study, meditate and apply Scripture everyday. This effort is worthy, it benefits in many aspects of my lifeJ  I wish every Christian would experience Jesus as I do.

Please pray :

v About supporting my future ministry in a financial way
