Tatiana

My name is Tatiana and I am from Ukraine. I grew up in a large Christian family; my parents have eleven children, four boys and seven girls. Unfortunately, most of them do not follow God. I am enrolled at South West University in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria where I currently live with two of my sisters and am specializing in international business.

I have known about Jesus since childhood, but consciously, I met Him when I was fourteen years old, at a regional night prayer. From that time on, my inner personality began to change, and gradually a new one began to form in me, on which God especially worked. Everything changed: my interests, hobbies, my relationship with my family, parents, friends, my hobbies, etc. From that moment on, love and affection for children began to manifest in me. A short time later, God gave me the opportunity to work with children in the church as well as the music ministry. Soon after moving to Bulgaria, I had the opportunity to become part of the worship team at my new church and was invited to a meeting to get acquainted with Young Life. During my first Young Life club, I felt a special atmosphere that I did not want to leave and eventually led to me becoming a leader.

Now a Developing Global Leader, I am studying economics and business structure. I would like to connect my career with opening my own business by owning a hair salon. I view my vocation to be aligned with my ministry mindset and hope for opportunities to care for teens and share the Gospel with them.
