Vera was the first Christian woman in the Ukrainian City of  Skadovsk. In 1973 they arrived and began to gather in this house. The pastor was a Baptist. There were 30 people and they broke down the walls and removed the kitchen to have a meeting room. A neighbor followed them through binoculars and called the mayor, they came from the KGB and once drove everyone away.

Vera went and asked to be registered as a church, but the local authorities did not allow it. Then she went to Kyiv to the capital to attempt permission for registration legally, she was denied. Then, this brave woman of faith traveled all the way to Moscow. By the grace of God, she was granted permission and registered the church!

She doesn’t walk well. Her brother lives with her, his legs are bad. Their sister has recently arrived and is looking after them. Please pray for this faithful servant of Christ, and the church in Skadovsk to honor this dear saint!
