Vanessa McElroy
MUKACHEVO, UKRAINE
Since 2014, Vanessa has been ministering in and around the western Ukraine city of Mukachevo.
Vanessa McElroy was impacted in her young adult years by Healing Hearts (post abortion) ministry, and other ministries at Calvary Fellowship. She spent 10 years in Russia, developing the Healing Hearts ministry alongside several newly planted Calvary Chapel churches there, then moved to Ukraine in 2001.
She began to disciple women and youth and also teach English.
She designs Bible-based curriculum for the English classes that she teaches to local Ukrainians of multiple age groups. Her church (Living Water) became a dynamic center of ministry to refugees when war broke out, and Vanessa persevered to serve the needs of this critical time alongside her Pastor and church body - providing housing, transportation, clothing and supplies, children's programs, prayer and the hope of the gospel.
Mission
To share the hope, love, and faith in Christ throughout western Ukraine, especially through hospitality and teaching English, and also through whatever opportunities arise.
Vision
Prayer Request
For the Russia-Ukraine War to end and peaceful restoration of communities across Ukraine. For eyes steadfastly on the Lord, and His continued provision financially and emotionally for these many needs
