Since the fall of Communism in 1992, Music Mission Kiev has served as a beacon of hope to those in Ukraine through sacred classical music. Our mission is to use the sacred classics to proclaim the Gospel to the country of Ukraine and the world. Over the last three decades, God has transformed Music Mission Kiev from a small Orchestra and Chorus to a dynamic evangelistic ministry that serves people

in Kyiv and reaches beyond the borders of Ukraine to other countries in the former Soviet Union. The Kyiv Symphony Orchestra and Chorus is composed of professional musicians, many of which are graduates from the world-renowned Tchaikovsky National Music Academy. These concerts are focused on evangelism with the unique opportunity to share the Gospel of Christ through the sacred classics. The Gospel lives and breathes in the powerful pieces of music we share. It is our great joy to proclaim its message of hope, peace, and salvation through our musicians to Ukraine, and the world. But music is just the beginning… There is great need in Ukraine. Government corruption enriched the powerful at the expense of the poor. Inflation made the fixed pensions of the elderly inadequate to cover basic living expenses. War in the east created a refugee crisis and devastated the economy. And now, COVID-19 has left the country struggling to find hope, wondering how they will survive. God has placed Music Mission Kiev among the many people in need of care: Widows in need of help and hope. Children longing for care and connection. Displaced and wounded people searching for shelter and healing. In response, we have developed outreach programs that serve body and soul, meeting physical needs and offering hope found only in Jesus. Paul’s Church is the center from which all our ministry flows. The congregation is made up of elderly widows and pensioners, children and orphans, broken families, victims of war, and many members of the Kyiv symphony orchestra and chorus. The church service is foundational to our biblical teaching from Pastor Ruslan and high-quality worship from the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. God is working in a powerful way through the ministry of Saint Paul's Church. Our people are serving in different roles in the church as they grow in their discipleship to Jesus Christ. They are actively inviting new friends to come and hear the Gospel message, sometimes for the first time. The Bible tells us that God places the lonely in families. We have seen this firsthand in our ministry to hundreds of widows and pensioners. These women and men become a part of the Music Mission Kiev family as we meet their physical needs—food, clothing, medicine, home repair—and provide spiritual nourishment and friendship through weekly Bible studies and discipleship classes. We also coordinate a sponsorship program to ensure their ongoing needs are met. Music has opened the door to ongoing relationships with a number of orphanages in Ukraine. Our team teaches music lessons, Bible lessons, holds summer camps, and regularly connects with children at several orphanages. For many, our ministry is their first exposure to the good news of God’s love. Years of foreign aggression and war have resulted in many wounded, homeless, and unemployed people in need of safe shelter and food. Our team collects and delivers relief supplies—everything from food and diapers to blankets and garden seeds—to the towns and villages most affected. Each delivery is accompanied by a Bible, fellowship, and the opportunity to talk about God’s love and care in the midst of suffering and hardship. Ukraine recently revealed 50% of children living near the eastern front now live below the poverty level. Your support and prayers for Music Mission Kiev makes a difference in the lives of the most vulnerable in Ukraine. God is alive and moving in Ukraine. Through the support people like you and me share, God continues to do great things in building the Kingdom of God. Join with us in this movement to change Ukraine for Jesus Christ.

Together Through Grief 💗

“Throughout the course in Kyiv, they cried, and in the Carpathians, they laughed. That was the best evidence that the journey they had taken together had not been in vain,” says Chaplain Serhii Bashynskyi, who a year ago initiated the creation of a support group for the wives and mothers of fallen service members.

The culmination of the initiative was a trip to the Carpathian Mountains, organized with the support of Music Mission Kiev.

For several days, the women rested, took in the mountain scenery, and enjoyed local food. Each evening, they reflected on the day and prayed, thanking God for everything.

For many, it was their first chance since the full-scale invasion to simply get away, rest, and briefly experience a world far removed from the war.

At first, there were ten women in the group, mostly young wives of fallen heroes and several mothers who had lost their children.

Some later left because they were not yet ready to talk about their pain, while others already had significant experience with individual therapy.

For those who remained, a circle of safety and trust gradually began to form. Chaplain Serhii’s wife, Viktoriia R., involved young people from St. Paul’s Church, and together they organized activities for the children of some of the women who attended the meetings.

Over time, these relationships extended beyond the scheduled meetings. After the main program ended, the informal fellowship continued over coffee and during outings into nature.

Gradually, the women began returning to life, making plans for the future, and some even becoming open to new relationships.

One participant, who had lost her own son, joined the military and now works with families of those who have been killed or gone missing. She is also studying psychology to professionally help others experiencing a similar loss.

There, in the Carpathians, the group once had to cross a mountain river. It was frightening, and taking that first step was difficult as the rushing water did not look safe. Chaplain Serhii went first. He fell into the water and was completely soaked, but still helped everyone reach the other side.

Battle Hymm of The Republic

Music Mission Kiev continues to support wounded Ukrainian soldiers, offering care, not only during their medical treatment, but also helping them gradually reconnect with everyday life.

As part of this ongoing ministry, Chaplain Serhii Bashynskyi and Vika R. organized a museum outing in Kyiv for wounded service members, former prisoners of war, and their family members.

The participants come from different parts of Ukraine, but are currently receiving medical treatment and rehabilitation in Kyiv hospitals.

Some are recovering from severe combat injuries, including amputations and serious leg injuries. Several still use crutches and cope with significant pain and fatigue.

The group also included service members who had spent nearly four years in Russian captivity and are now rebuilding their lives after returning to Ukraine.

They visited the Wheel of History museum, which features more than 100 vintage cars, motorcycles, and other historic vehicles.

The group explored the collection, took photos, sat inside a vintage bus, played games, and, most importantly, spent time talking and getting to know one another.

But the outing was about much more than a museum visit. For people whose lives have been shaped for years by military service, hospitalization, or captivity, opportunities like this are an important part of reconnecting with society and returning to life beyond war and medical treatment.

The excursion also became a bridge: strengthening existing friendships while creating space for new ones to begin.

Participants exchanged contact information and expressed a desire to stay connected, meet for coffee or pizza, and simply spend time together.

For MMK, this is another way of serving those who have sacrificed so much: not only being present in the hardest moments, but also helping wounded soldiers rediscover the joy of friendship, community, and ordinary life.

Planting Seeds That Last: Stara Basan 🌱

Children and teens who attend boarding schools and specialized schools often need more than the right educational approach.

They need support.

Many of them face difficult life circumstances and have limited opportunities to build relationships outside their schools.

That is why it is so important for them to learn how to trust others, build healthy relationships, feel like a valued part of society, and discover that the church can be a place where they are accepted, supported, and loved.

One of the areas of work for Victoria R., Children & Orphans Program Director at Music Mission Kiev (MMK), throughout the past school year was ministry in three specialized schools serving children with special needs: one in the village of Stara Basan, Kyiv Specialized Boarding School No. 22, and another in Denyshi village.

"We traveled to Stara Basan once a month together with the youth team from St. Paul’s Youth Church. We worked with students in grades 4 through 9, leading interactive activities and talking about friendship, responsibility, the future, life choices, and faith in God. Every visit became another step toward the changes that were slowly taking place in the lives of these children."

At first, they were suspicious of us. Some of the older teens would joke during prayer or avoid conversations about God altogether. But over time, things began to change.

The children started looking forward to our visits. They opened their hearts, shared their dreams, asked for advice, and requested prayer.

The young people from St. Paul’s Youth Church became much more than volunteers. They became friends and examples of responsible, purpose-filled lives.

Through those relationships, the children began to believe in themselves more.

They started to realize that their future is not determined only by their past or by their circumstances, but largely by the choices they make and the people they choose to surround themselves with.
