It was so popular that even adults from the neighborhood came to participate. The church responded by hiring a sports and youth pastor to handle the new, vibrant ministry.
The very first trip for Youth Missions International was to Ukraine. A team that included the co-founders of the ministry headed to work with our close ministry partners, Awana Ukraine. Trips to Cherkasy, Odesa, and Kyiv strengthened this partnership and created multiple opportunities for engagement. Throughout the years we have had the privilege of knowing and serving alongside this amazing team.
