Anatoli Emma

Branch Leader

Anatoli Emma was born Odessa, Ukraine, in 1976. Odessa is a large seaport city which at one time had a Jewish population of approximately 300,000. Anatoli came to believe in Jesus as his Messiah in 1993 and was actively involved in the church he began to attend. For two years he was part of a group that worked in the hospitals for drug addicts, alcoholics, TB and venereologic patients. In 1995, the Lord called him and another brother to start a new church in Odessa, and up to 1999, he was ministering in this new congregation. Then, in 1999, the Lord called Anatoli to start ministering to his Jewish people, and he joined the Jews for Jesus ministry.

Oleksandra (Sasha) Vronska

Missionary

Oleksandra was born in 1994 in Kyiv, Ukraine. She became a believer at the age of 18 and was actively involved in the church she attended. She was never raised Jewish, even though part of her family from her father’s side is Jewish. Still, when she was a child, she used to read the stories from the Old Testament, watch biblical cartoons, and listen to lots of stories about Jewish life from her father and relatives. She had even visited synagogues several times in her life, but never really understood anything about Judaism until she became a believer. Then during the next few years, she dug deeper into the Old Testament. In 2019, she started working with Jews for Jesus because she wanted to share the gospel not just with her family, but with other Jewish people around the world.

Victoria Negrimovskaya

Missionary

Victoria Negrimovskaya was born into a Jewish family in Dnipro, Ukraine. In her family, no one talked about God. She graduated from a technical school specializing in garment manufacture. She went from job to job seeking a higher salary. Her marriage had failed, and she was surviving on 5 grivnas ($1) a week. She received Jesus at a Bible study home group that her friend had invited her to. Later, she started attending a church. She met Jews for Jesus at a presentation in her church, but she had her doubts about this way of serving the Lord. A year later when she attended a Jews for Jesus Shabbat meeting, her doubts disappeared. During the Jews for Jesus Behold Your God campaign in Dnipro, she watched the Survivors’ Stories video, and it confirmed her thoughts and feelings. In 2003, she took part in the Odessa Behold Your God campaign, and in 2004 she joined the staff of Jews for Jesus as an outreach worker in Dnipro, where her mother lives. Since 2019 she has been ministering as part of Jews for Jesus in Kyiv.
