Yulia Kolesnikova and Nikolae Dyadchenko
This month we are very pleased to introduce you to two of our graduates. Yulia Kolesnikova who graduated from SPbCU in 1999 and Nikolae Dyadchenko who graduated from SPbCU in 2000. They serve together along with Nikolae’s wife Yana and son Yaroslav in the city of Borovichi Russia. Upon graduation from SPbCU they moved to Borovichi which is Nikolae’s home town and God called them to a church planting ministry. Nikolae serves as the pastor of the church while Yulia serves in the areas of Sunday school, worship, youth ministry, and summer camping ministry.
In February their church celebrated its fifth birthday. Officially begun on February 18, 2001 the church now runs about 60 people on the average Sunday. In 2004 the church was able to successfully purchase and remodel a building for their church. While the church is already five years old neither Nikolae nor Yulia are resting on the abundant blessings already received but, instead, are working on many exciting plans for the future ministry and growth of the church.
