Support Pastor Valentin and his family in Ukraine

Pastor Valentin Lupashko has been ordained as a Pastor of First Baptist Church in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi of Odessa region after the war broke out in 2022. This is the same year when nearly 11 mln people left Ukraine due to the Russian invasion. He felt the call to ministry in 2019 and thanks to his architect training he sketched and later on oversaw the building of a new church campus.

The new building was providentially opened three days before the invasion which allowed the church to start the largest feeding program in the South of Ukraine and be a shelter of Hope to suffering and hurting people.

“For more than two years of war, the door of our church has been constantly open. We have rediscovered one simple Biblical truth: to serve God means to serve people” said Pastor Valentin.

Valentin is full of energy, wise and a hard-working pastor. The church under his leadership has baptized nearly 200 people and provided care to thousands of people.

God raised him as an overseer of 11 plant churches in the county. He and his wife Nadia raise three children.
