Scott and Lisa were appointed as Association of Baptists for World Evangelism’s (ABWE) first missionaries to Ukraine. Their home is in the capital of Kyiv.

By God’s grace over 1,700 Baptist churches have been established in Ukraine over the last 15 years. Today the next step is beginning to unfold – Ukraine emerging as a sending nation of missionaries, taking its place in global mission.

Their role is advance scout for the CEEMed region. The work consists of identifying, resourcing, and connecting emerging kingdom leaders for church planting and mission movements in Eurasia. This encompasses many facets: teaching, preaching, leading, mentoring, consulting, administrating, vision casting, writing, networking, developing partnerships and intercession, are all ministry activities in which they engage regularly.

At a very young age, Scott committed his life to bringing the gospel to people in the Soviet Union. He began reading anything he could find about life in the Soviet Union. One such book was by Georgi Vins, a Baptist evangelist imprisoned for his faith. In an unprecedented event in 1979, Georgi Vins and his family was exiled to America. Thus God brought his future wife, Lisa, to America. Scott and Lisa met in college. Lisa’s desire from the moment she arrived in the US was to return to the Soviet Union, even though it would mean house searches, arrests, and separation from family. They serve together in the Ukraine today.
