Dear friends and supporters!

My name is Ivan Palatov! I am 42, married, and have six children. I am a member of Kyiv Bible Church and work as a lawyer.

Our family lives in a small village outside of Kyiv, Ukraine. My wife's name is Maggie, and our kids' names are Max, Nazar, Angelina, Liza, Evan, and Ellie.

I have several roles in our church. I am an intern for the Church elder council, a men's and chaplain ministry leader, and a Bible study group leader. Also, with three other men from our church, we have regular meetings of the D-group (discipleship group). My wife Maggie is in full-time ministry. She is the founder and principal of New Generation Christian School and is in charge of teens ministry in our church. She also translates sermons during Sunday service.

Almost twenty years ago, one of the students from my university invited me to a Bible study group. Soon after that, I started going to church, repented, accepted Christ, and was baptized.

At this hard and challenging time of war in Ukraine against Russia, I want to serve soldiers as a chaplain. War is a terrible, cruel time, but it opens doors to preach the Gospel and opens hearts to hear the Gospel.

Thank you for standing with Ukrainian people during this time!

Blessings,

Ivan
