Bethesda Rehabilitation Center – Lviv
A Message of Gratitude

Bethesda Rehabilitation Center in Lviv would like to express our sincere gratitude to Master’s Foundation for your ongoing ministry and support.

Your help makes it possible for us to rent a large home equipped with everything needed for people to recover physically, spiritually, and emotionally.

Because of your support, we are able to welcome those who have completely lost hope: people who are emotionally broken, burdened by depression, alcohol, drugs, the trauma of war, and even suicidal thoughts.

Thanks to your partnership, we can first meet their most urgent needs medical care, food, and rest and then offer them a safe place where their hearts can open to God, the only One who can truly heal and transform lives.

Many who come through our program find genuine faith in God, which gives them a new desire to live, to forgive, and to change. By God’s grace, they are set free from addiction and the pain of the past.

We have witnessed incredible miracles: families on the brink of divorce restored, husbands and wives reunited, and children who might have been orphaned now growing up in loving homes.

Emotional wounds are being healed, and people are learning to rejoice again building strong relationships with their families and becoming a blessing to their communities and churches.

Thank you, Master’s Foundation, for being part of this life-changing work. Together, we are giving people in Ukraine a chance to experience true hope and new life.

Testimony of Anton — From Brokenness to Serving on the Front Lines

My name is Anton, and I was born in Zaporizhzhia. For the first 12 years of my life, I grew up in what felt like a normal family. But everything changed when my parents divorced. My mother slipped into alcoholism, and by the age of 15—during the difficult years of the early 1990s—I had fallen into drug addiction. That addiction controlled my life for 15 years and led me to serve two prison terms.

At the age of 31, everything changed. Christ reached into my brokenness and saved me. From the very beginning of my new life, I felt called to serve. I became part of a church in Zaporizhzhia, where I led a home group and spent eight years ministering as a prison chaplain to men who were living the same darkness I had once known.

God also restored my family. I married my wife, Tatyana, who at that time was raising two young sons, ages 5 and 10. Today they are grown—18 and 23—and after six years of marriage, God blessed us with our third son, who is now 6 years old.

Today I serve as a deacon in Bethesda Church and as a hospital chaplain in Lviv. Every two months, my team and I travel for a week-long rotation to a front-line hospital in Chernihiv. There, we stay 24/7 with wounded soldiers and their families—listening, praying, and offering simple acts of compassion. We cut the hair of the wounded and bedridden, help relatives with practical needs, share treats, and use every moment as an opportunity to bring hope and the message of Christ.

I believe that in this time of war, the Church is called to be present among the people—to stand beside the broken, the frightened, and the wounded. And I trust that someday, when these men and their families seek God, they will remember the church that stood beside them and served them in their darkest hours.

Since I was a child, I’ve always loved being around kids. They bring me so much happiness, joy, and love. It feels natural for me to give my time and heart to them. When I’m with children, I want to share everything that’s inside me to love them, encourage them, and show them that they matter.

When I met Jesus, everything changed. I began to understand what true love really is the kind that heals, forgives, and brings peace. Now, I have a deep desire to share that same love with every child I meet. My heart breaks when I see the struggles they face and the uncertain future that lies ahead for so many of them.

That’s why I want to tell them about Jesus the only One who can truly change their lives and give them a beautiful and hope-filled future.
