“I could not stand the
lessons in our Sunday School when I was a child”, shares Mikhail Lozovoi, “that
is why after I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord, I became a children's worker. My
goal is that kids in my class or club will find life in Jesus".
Even before we met
with Mikhail in 2007, he was searching for biblical ways of teaching the truth
to the future generations. Mikhail was invited to join the Board of Directors
of EGM-Ukraine and later considered as one of candidates for the position of
EGM-UA Director.
His enthusiasm of
sharing the Biblical Model, evident love to children, deep knowledge of the
Truth, readiness to pioneer the work of EGM in the country convinced the Board
that he is the person for the job. Since 2008 EGM-UA grew to the team of 10
dedicated workers (6 of them represent EGM in different parts of Ukraine) and
twice as many volunteers. The office in the city of Dnipropetrovsk process dozens
of phone-calls, e-mails and walk-in visits daily, providing children workers
with necessary resources.

The most requested by
churches training seminar “Model teaching through creativity” is developed by
Tatiana, who readily travels with Mikhail to teach it to children workers
countrywide. While continuing to
direct the work of Sunday school in Central Baptist church, Mikhail is now
appointed to organize and supervise Christian camps for children in the Dnipropetrovsk area. This widens EGM's involvement in the preparation of camp
workers so that they will relate to children and teach them according to the
Model.
Recent seminars on
Titus project for EGM staff and Board of Directors placed new a task before
EGM-Ukraine – develop and implement strategy for in-country giving. Mikhail as
the Director accepted the challenge and excels in inspiring the team and the
Board to bring EGM-Ukraine on the next level of becoming truly national
ministry. What inspires Mikhail in the process is that God wants to transform
lives of millions of kids in Ukraine through His church in this country.
