Ministry Description

We serve with Word of Life Ukraine - part of an international ministry active in more than 80 countries.

Our passion is to help young people take their next step with Christ through evangelism and discipleship. In Ukraine this happens in several ways:

- Camps - fun and meaningful programs where campers discover the truths of Christ.
- Bible Institute - a unique place where students live and learn alongside staff, creating daily opportunities for discipleship.
- Evangelistic Events - for example, our drama In Search of Light, which shares the hope of Christ with children all across Ukraine.

About Kuka

I come from Kazakhstan. My story of conversion, spiritual growth, and ministry is closely connected with Word of Life. In 2007 I attended a Word of Life summer camp in my country, organized by missionaries from Ukraine. My friends and I were so excited that we remembered this camp for many years — even though at that time I was still living without Christ.

In 2012 I attended another Christian camp, and again it turned out to be Word of Life. There I accepted Jesus. What touched me most was the attitude of the staff — their love for us and their devotion to the work. After that camp, I decided to study at the Word of Life Bible Institute in Ukraine. It was far from home, but I knew God was calling me there. Those two years of study gave me a strong foundation for my faith and future ministry.

At the end of my first year, during a mission conference, I committed my life to serve the Lord. The example of the staff around me influenced me greatly.

After graduation, I returned to Kazakhstan and served in church ministry for five years. All that time I carried a big dream in my heart — to become part of Word of Life ministry.

In September 2019, I married Oksana from Ukraine. Together we joined the staff of Word of Life Ukraine. Now I serve in different areas: I am part of the Leadership Team, where we make strategic decisions and coordinate the work of the mission. I also lead the PR department, keeping in touch with partners, ex-students, and people interested in our ministry. Like all our staff, I am also involved in camps, mentoring students, and evangelistic events.

1Cor 9:23: "I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings."
