John and Tanya were children of revival that took place in the 90s in Ukraine where they first met when they were 13 years old. They had served in Ukraine for 10 years, before they came to Redding and completed three years of BSSM. Through some bizarre confirmations to prophetic words they received, in 2014 they knew it was time to return to Ukraine and be part of the fulfillment of a long-time prophecy about Ukraine being “a bread basket to the nations.” John now serves in an apostolic role overseeing Father’s House church in Kharkov, and a number of other churches led by pastors under his leadership around Ukraine.
John has a history of raising up new worship leaders and musicians who are in the process of birthing new songs that will reverberate throughout nations of the former Soviet Union. Together with an ever-growing team of young revivalists, they lead a vibrant ministry to the poor in their city, and organize an extravagant Feast of Love event for the poor every Christmas. They have multiple locations with “street churches” where they feed and minister to the poor.
Since the war started, God has used team members who were scattered to other cities to start similar ministries in other cities. Their vision is to be continually raising up new leaders who will become missionaries, and plant churches throughout Ukraine, and beyond, and also bringing a culture of equipping people in the supernatural in churches all around Ukraine. This is being achieved through mentoring leaders, and pastors, and hosting retreats, and schols of worship and missions schools to equip the saints.
