Since 2007, we have served in Odesa, Ukraine, helping churches carry out the vital work of sharing the gospel with unbelievers and discipling new believers in the faith. God has blessed us with five children and four precious grandchildren.

We serve through The Gospel Today, partnering with pastors and church leaders across Ukraine to develop biblical tools for evangelism and discipleship. Caleb oversees the publication of the evangelistic magazine Blagovistya.today and leads seminars that equip churches in biblical evangelism and discipleship.

Christina’s ministry focuses on outreach to women. Through service at a pro-life women’s center in Odesa, she counsels women facing difficult circumstances, building relationships and pointing them to the hope found in Scripture. These personal connections often become meaningful opportunities to share the gospel.

In 2020, we planted Odesa International Fellowship (OIF), a unique church that reflects the global crossroads of the city. Our congregation includes people from Indonesia, various African nations, China, and beyond. Ministering in this diverse setting brings both challenge and joy, as we share the gospel with individuals from a wide range of cultural and religious backgrounds, including Islam and Hinduism.

The outbreak of full-scale war in 2022 reshaped much of our ministry. As Ukraine faced immense hardship, new needs emerged. We began partnering more closely with churches affected by the conflict, especially those near the front lines. Our efforts now include providing aid, supporting displaced families, and strengthening churches so they can continue serving their communities during crisis.

Even in the shadow of war, our mission remains focused on equipping believers, caring for the vulnerable, and reaching the nations gathered in Odesa.

We are deeply thankful for the prayers and support that make this ministry possible, trusting that God will continue to work in and through His people in Ukraine.

The Gospel Today

The Gospel Today exists to equip and encourage churches around the world in the task of biblical evangelism and discipleship.

Our mission is rooted in the conviction that the gospel of Jesus Christ is both timeless and urgently needed today. We come alongside local churches by providing practical training, gospel-centered resources, and strategic support that helps believers share their faith and grow in spiritual maturity.

Through seminars, print materials, online media, and personal mentorship, The Gospel Today works to mobilize Christians and strengthen gospel witness in communities across Ukraine and around the world.

History

The Gospel Today was founded in 2015 by three pastors with a shared passion for equipping the church: Caleb Suko, Roman Kalashnikov, and Yuri Karamaneshta. Born out of a desire to provide biblical, practical tools for evangelism and discipleship, the ministry began by serving a handful of churches in Ukraine.

Over time, God expanded the reach and impact of The Gospel Today far beyond what we first imagined. Since 2015, the ministry has partnered with over 100 churches, training more than 2,500 believers in gospel-centered evangelism and discipleship. We have distributed over 30,000 printed resources designed to help churches share the message of Christ clearly and biblically.

From small village churches to large urban congregations, The Gospel Today continues to serve the global church with timeless truth and present-day relevance.
