Nick Sytchev

Kyiv, Ukraine

After being saved in 1989, Nick began his ministry in 1991 as a youth leader in Kyiv, growing a small group to 50. In 1992, he planted Golgotha Church, following a major evangelistic campaign that initially resulted in many conversions but needed follow-up. By 1994-95, he studied at Southern Cross Bible College in Australia. Upon returning in 1996, Golgotha grew to 250 members and established three daughter churches. Nick served as a regional superintendent and church planting director, leading projects that birthed 25 churches. In 2010, he founded the Temple of Worship and became the executive secretary of Ukraine's Missionary Churches Association in 2012.
