UKRAINE
In 1996, Valentin and Tatyana Sviontek joined Dr. Wayne and Bonnie Wilks in leaving Shady Grove Church of Grand Prairie, Texas and moving to Ukraine for founding the first school called Messianic Jewish Bible Institute; MJBI. Both Valentin and Tayana were raised there under Communism in the days of the Soviet Union. Coming from Jewish families, Val and Tatyana professed faith in Yeshua in their teens and met at a Youth Camp for believers shortly thereafter. The Camp was located in the very city where MJBI would begin outside of Odessa in 1996!
After planting Or HaMashiach Messianic Congregation in 2003, Val and Tatyana continued to oversee MJBI’s fschool in Ukraine. Today, the congregation has grown to over 400 weekly attendees, with the majority of them Jewish.
Odessa is a city with over 100,000 Jewish people today. Most of them have not yet met our Messiah, Yeshua. Through their international ministry - now called Jewish Partner Initiative - and thriving Congregation, the Sviontek's are raising up leaders to see their city - and beyond - ministered to in Yeshua’s great name.
