NEW UMVIM COORDINATOR FOR EURASIA


NEW UMVIM COORDINATOR FOR EURASIA
Lena Kim is the new UMVIM coordinator for Eurasia. Anton Kuzmin served in this capacity for several years and we are truly thankful for his work with both Eurasian and American partners. 

Lena is also the Russian Editor of The Upper Room, Mesto Vstrechi, and so she bring together two passions: education and evangelism. Lena graduated from the United Methodist Seminary in Moscow in 2000 and was appointed to ministry in Kazkhstan. There she served in the cities of Pavlodar and Kurchatov (near Semipalatinsk). In Pavlodar Lena worked in the Regional House for Children and also ministered at a men's prison. In Kurchatov she led children's Bible groups and provided a Christian radio service. Between 2004 - 2006 Lena worked as the Director of Evangelization and Church Development in Eurasia. Then in 2006 she was appointed as the Executive Director of Education and Church Development in Eurasia. In 2007 she received a Doctor of Ministry degree from Wesley Theological Seminary.   
If you are making plans to attend the Russia-Eurasia Mission Initiative Consultation, please get in touch with Lena about:
* visa questions and issues
* sightseeing plans
* your flight plans and transfers
* visiting your partner either before or after the May event.
