Support Pastor Pavlo and His Family

Pastor Pavlo—whose name translates to “Paul” in English—and his twin brother were raised in a family of persecuted Christians and were both called into pastoral ministry.

In 1999, Pastor Pavlo became the pastor of First Baptist Church in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, Ukraine. By God’s grace, the church has grown from a small congregation to more than 300 people.

After years of prayer, the church opened a new building just three days before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Since then, the church has served as a center for food, water, humanitarian aid, and Gospel ministry to countless people affected by the war.

Though he never received formal theological training, Pastor Pavlo has faithfully preached Christ to thousands during this difficult time. He and his wife, Dina, have also raised two sons who are now serving in ministry themselves.
