Anatoliy V. Glukhovskyy knows from personal experience the mighty power of the Holy Spirit and saving deliverance of God, having being raised in an atheistic country with a strong communistic regime. The seventy-year reign of this regime was a time of tears and testing of Christian faithfulness for many pastors. Anatole’s father, Vladimir Glukhovskyy, spent six and half years in a Siberian prison, because he was one of the first Ukrainian Evangelical fundamentalist ministers and planted almost twenty Evangelical churches all over Ukraine. His son had to grow up dealing with two contradictory messages: hearing at school that there was no God while hearing at home that God exists.

In 1979, when the whole communistic society was fighting against God, Anatole asked Jesus to come into his heart. Although he was secretly baptized, he was not able to keep secret his strong desire to see his people saved and experience a real relationship with the Lord.

In 1989, he received an invitation to study at a Bible school in Belgium. However the atheistic government allowed only him to go; the family had to stay in the Ukraine. But shortly afterwards, real freedom came to Ukraine, and he came back to his homeland rejoicing and excited to see how many opportunities God had opened up for ministry.

His desire was to start a church and pastor it. But the Lord told him he had a different plan. God wanted him to start even more churches than his father did. The Lord helped him to start a Bible school - Ukrainian Evangelical Theological Seminary (UETS) – and he and the students are busy every semester starting new churches. Today Anatole is a pastor of one of such churches named “Reconcaliation�. UETS’ vision is to start five to ten churches each semester, and God is very faithful in helping them start new churches not only in Ukraine but in Russia and other post Soviet countries as well.
