Ukrainian Leadership Team
In
the
summer
of
1999
I
had
the
pleasure
of
meeting
Vitaly
and
Marina.
We
ministered
to
orphans
and
street
kids
through
a
The
Least
of
These
program
called
Kid's
Crusades.
Vitaly
and
Marina
have
grown
in
their
ministry
and
leadership
skills.
They
are
both
an
intricate
part
of
The
Least
of
These
ministry
in
Ukraine.
Please
take
a
few
minutes
to
read
Vitaly's
incredible
testimony.
Thank
you
Vitaly
and
Marina
for
all
that
you
do
for
the
children.
Rich Richmond
President
Vitalik’s Testimony
My
name
is
Vitaly
Dudukaloff,
I
was
born
on
January
8,
1973
in
Ust-Kamenogorsk,
Kazakhstan.
At
that
time,
Kazakhstan
was
a
part
of
Soviet
Union.
My
father
was
an
engineer
of
construction
and
my
mother
a
musician
and
a
choirmaster.
Although
my
parents
were
unbelievers,
they
were
a
good
family
with
good
relationships
to
secular
standards.
Because
they
were
not
getting
good
salaries
in
Kazakhstan
in
1980
they
decided
to
move
to
Siberia
where
people
were
paid
much
better
and could retire 5 years earlier.
We
moved
to
the
city
of
Norislk,
which
is
in
the
central
Northern
part
of
Siberia.
When
I
was
nine
we
had
my
baby
brother
born
there.
I
must
say
that
while
living
in
Norislk
we
did
have
some
extremely
cold
days,
the
lowest
I
remember
was
-67°F
(-55°C).
Nevertheless,
I
fell
in
love
with
that
unique
land
of
long
polar
winters
and
short
but
tender
summers.
When
I
was
a
school
student,
I
had
problems
with
low
self-esteem
.
I
was
very
closed,
all
my
pains
belonged
only
to
me,
only
few
friends,
humiliating
mockeries
of
classmates.
My
young
wounded
and
inexperienced
heart
could
not find any solution for that.
In
1990,
after
graduation,
I
went
to
Moscow
trying
to
enter
Agriculture
University,
but
did
not
pass
the
contest
and
went
to
Agriculture
College
to
specialize
in
livestock.
Over
there
I
met
my
future
wife
Marina
and
I
of
course
liked
her
from
the
very
first
time
I
saw
her.
Although
we
were
in
the
same
group
but
we
never
were
close
friends.
As
she
said
later,
I
was
the
last
one
in
the
line
of
her
candidates.
The
time
we
lived
in
was
the
moment
when
the
Soviet
Union
fell
apart.
The
economy
was
down
and
inflation
was
terrible.
My
parents
lost
all
their
savings
that
they
collected
in
all
years
of
living
in
Siberia.
The
most
necessary
products,
like
tea,
meat,
butter,
sugar,
soap,
etc.
people
had
to
buy
with
special
permissive
tickets.
We
as
students
did
not
have
even
that.
However,
the
farm
where
we
worked
time
after
time
fortunately
was
our
source
of
milk,
vegetables
and
sometimes
cow guts.
Continually
suffering
from
my
low
self-esteem
problem,
I
began
to
look
for
some
ways
of
self-
improvement.
With
freedom,
some
books
we
never
seen
before
have
started
to
be
available,
like
psychology,
autosuggestion,
oriental
philosophy,
astrology,
extrasensory,
etc.
I
have
involved
myself
in
those
practices
and
sometimes
I
had
some
successes,
but
they
lasted
for
such
a
short
time.
I
was
not
the
only
one
searching
-
a
group
of
girls
in
our
class,
including
Marina,
was
taking
bio-
energy
courses.
But
one
day
one
of
their
girlfriend
visited
them
and
invited
them
to
a
church
service.
They
had
to
travel
for
5
hours
to
that
church
and
stayed
there
for
4
days.
After
they
came
back
all
our
class
was
curious
about
where
they
were
and
what
had
happened.
They
told
us
how
they
came
to
the
Lord
and
how
it
is
good
to
believe
in
Jesus.
All
of
this
was
so
odd,
so
me
and
couple
of
other
guys
came
to
their
room
that
evening
to
hear
more.
While
listening
I
was
thinking:
'Yeah,
that's
good
to
believe
in
God,
so
I'll
continue
with
all
practices
I
am
doing
now
and
additionally
I
will
believe
in
God.
Sounds
perfect!'
But
then
I
have
felt
a
very
strong
impression.
Much
later,
I
realized
that
it
was
God's
voice
speaking
to
me.
"If
you
want
to
help
yourself
to
improve
by
astrology,
philosophies
and
other
stuff
then
God
is
no
help
to
you,
but
if
you
want
God
to
help
you,
then
all
those
things
have
to
go."
It
was
so
clear
and
the
division
between
two
was
so
obvious
like
cut
with
a
sword.
I
could
not
sleep
well
that
night.
My
mind
was
working.
I
was
turning
in
the
bed.
I
woke
up
that
morning
wrapped
up
in
my
blanket.
God
was
working
in
my
heart. Since then we were often visitors in girls' room to hear more about Jesus.
One
time
the
church
that
girls
were
attending
held
a
big
evangelism
meeting
in
Moscow
and
we
were
invited.
Them
and
six
other
guys
unbelievers
went
for
the
service.
It
was
interesting
trip
full
of
new
expectations.
We
found
the
right
place
and
entered
a
hall.
I
was
confused
by
the
attitude
of
people
who
were
meeting
us.
They
smiled,
and
hugged
us
like
relatives
though
we
saw
them
for
the
first
time.
There
were
people
sitting
in
the
hall
who
were
so
sincerely
glad
to
see
each
other
like
only
closest
friends
would
act
after
long
separation.
The
service
started
with
fast
and
joyful
praise,
during
which
I
rejoiced
like
I
never
did
on
any
disco.
Then
there
was
a
preaching,
of
which
I
don't
remember
anything,
I
just
know
that
God
was
working
in
my
heart.
When
there
was
an
altar
call
I
really
wasn't
sure
if
I
had
to
come
down.
Our
girls
said
'Yeah,
of
course
go..."
In
that
moment
I
was
ready
to
do
everything,
I
was
told.
I
came
forward
and
prayed
with
sinner's
prayer.
I
lifted
up
my
hands,
and
tears
were
running
down
my
cheeks.
When
we
were
saying
good-bye
to
the
people
from
the church I felt, that wasn't confused anymore when I would look in their eyes.
The
same
evening
I
came
to
my
grandpa's
home.
When
we
sat
at
the
supper
table
and
had
fellowship
he
asked
me
'Vitaly,
why
are
looking
at
me
so
strangely?'
I
was
afraid
to
tell
him
that
I
just
came
from
church
and
I
prayed
there,
so
I
told
him
that
everything
is
just
very
good.
That
was
a testimony for me that something had started to change in me, like the Lord promised.
My
friends
and
I
began
regularly
attend
the
church
in
Moscow,
that
started
from
that
crusade.
It
was
the
time
of
the
first
love,
time
of
our
first
prayers
in
the
dorm,
first
evangelism
experience.
In
June
we
graduated
from
our
college.
We
were
told
that
there
is
a
three
months
Bible
school
starting
in
Kiev.
Two
girls,
Marina
and
I
went
for
tuition.
Though
we
thought
to
come
only
for
three
months,
we
stayed
to
the
end
of
the
full
course
-
4
years.
This
school
became
a
place
of
big
changes
and big experience.
In
1995
something
happened,
that
me
and
Marina
were
expecting
during
2
years.
We
got
married.
After
we
came
to
the
Lord,
we
became
closer
to
each
other
and
our
hearts
were
knitting
closer
together.
After
wedding
we
had
two
sons
born:
Daniel
in
1996
and
Phillip
in
1998.
Two
great
boys,
which we are proud of very much.
After
graduating
from
Bible
school
we
began
to
minister
as
pastors
in
the
church
that
was
going
as
a
part
of
Bible
school
program,
and
we
continue
to
do
the
same
thing
at
the
moment.
In
the
summer
of
1999
me
and
Marina
for
the
first
time
were
invited
to
minister
in
orphanages
with
The
Least
Of
These.
Those
were
tremendous
days
when
we
were
able
to
share
with
children
God's
love,
attention, jokes, hugs and the Gospel.
We
used
to
minister
to
children
but
it
never
was
to
orphans.
They
are
young
people
who
are
not
merely
deceived,
but
they
never
knew
the
truth,
just
heard
about
it.
Thus,
when
they
do
not
just
hear
the
truth,
but
see
it
in
action,
God
becomes
a
reality
for
them.
We
participate
in
such
children
crusades
for
5
years
both
in
orphanages
and
in
local
churches
in
Crimea.
Each
mission
trip
robs
the
darkness
of
several
more
kids,
and
sows
the
seeds
of
salvation
for
the
next
time.
If
you
know
that
God
calls
you
to
move
in
the
ministry
to
these
children
-
join
us.
In
our
spiritual
combat
each
person is counted as a unit, and two as an army.
God bless you abundantly,
Vitaly, Marina, Daniel and Phillip Dudukaloff
