Kramatorsk, Ukraine

Vladimir Paziy is a co-minister of the downtown church of Christ in Kramatorsk, Ukraine. He holds a Master's Degree from the Kramatorsk Bible Department. In addition to his work with the downtown church, he also shares preaching duties for the Konstantinovka church (about 40 minutes south of Kramatorsk) and the church in the village of Krasniy Shahtar (about 50 minutes north).

The downtown church in Kramatorsk is a very active congregation. Vladamir's wife, Oksana, and a Christian lady named Valentine Petrusenko conduct the "ABC School" at the church building, a Bible and English school for children. They teach over 70 students each week by teaching English with the Bible. Many Bible studies with parents have resulted. The building is centrally located and is a beehive of activity - bible classes and/or fellowship meetings take place seemingly every day and evening of the week. The congregation's good influence is felt among sister congregations throughout the region.
