Andrii & Yulia Polonnikov
Teresa
Andrii was born in Lviv, Ukraine, where he has spent his whole life. He began attending church through a friend. Through a summer camp ministry, Andrii started to understand what it meant to live with the Lord when he was only 12 years old. At the age of 13, he made a commitment to follow Jesus. He is committed in service to his new church, where he is a main elder. He is also the head coach for their floorball team. Andrii and his wife, Yulia, love working with teenagers and realize the influence that they can have on their lives. Serving in sports allows Andrii to use his God-given talents to reach the lost and grow the body of Christ. It’s his vision to see local churches using sports to serve the next generation. Since its inception in 2013, Andrii has been helping lead the Edge Sports ministry in Ukraine. In 2015, he began to co-lead this ministry full-time. Currently, Yulia is serving across the border involved in humanitarian aid and refugee assistance with JV and our local European church partners, while Andrii is serving inside of Ukraine offering humanitarian aid and refugee assistance with our local church partners.
