Oleksandr

I grew up in a kind and supportive family. They helped shape me into a good person. I worked hard in school and often earned A grades. I also was passionate about music and learned to play the guitar. Sports were also a big part of my life. Sometimes it was very difficult to balance my studies with helping my parents in our village. Managing schoolwork and family responsibilities required a lot of discipline and effort.

My personal relationship with Jesus began during a hard time when I started going to the Catholic Church during a difficult period in my life. Soon after, I went to a Young Life camp, and that’s where my faith became personal. I met Jesus in a real way and started living for Him. It was there, in the Young Life community, that I deeply connected with Jesus and began to live out my faith in a new way. Now I serve in Capernaum and continue growing in my faith.

As a Developing Global Leader, I’m studying Computer Science at Kamianets-Podilskyi Ivan Ohiienko National University. My goal is to become a skilled engineer and work in a top company. I also want to grow my ministry by starting sports groups for people with disabilities and expanding the Capernaum team in my city.
