Yulia Svergunenko is a Christian counsellor in Ukraine.
When did you trust Christ?
My babysitter was a faithful Christian and witnessed to me. I turned to God as a teenager and dedicated my life to Him, becoming a part of the church when I was 33.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
As already mentioned, Vera, my babysitter, greatly impacted my walk with the Lord. Her daughters Vika and Lera, church ministers, did also, and they became my friends.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I hope to find encouragement for my ministry. I also look forward to hearing and gaining new information and ideas.
What is your ministry?
Currently, I lead and counsel a group of refugees from the Donetsk region of Ukraine at the Evangelical Christian Church.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
I was in charge of the Alpha course in our church. I also led the counselling ministry in our church.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
Due to the difficult situation in Ukraine, I am unable to cover the full price of the Forum. My ministry makes an impact on people's lives. We witness lives changed and refugees’ wounded hearts healed.
