Following theological training Roman was called of God to church planting ministry in the Perm region of Russia. He, with several colleagues, had the joy of seeing an initial group of about twelve grow to 120.
After almost 20 years there Roman answered a ‘Macedonian call’ from brothers in his home city of Mariupol, East Ukraine, to return there to pastor a large church in the city. The war had already erupted in that region, but convinced that this was God’s will, he with his family answered the call.
Roman oversees SGA’s work in Ukraine, including Leadership Training, Leadership Support, Houses of Prayer, and various humanitarian projects for needy and vulnerable people in difficult circumstances.
