"Welcome to the war for our generation."
Ariel and Nazar are 21-year-old young missionaries who have a heart for their generation.
At age sixteen, Ariel fully surrendered her life to Jesus at the funeral of her missionary grandpa. Virtually since she was a child, she served with her parents John and Tanya Lynch in Kharkiv. However, when the war escalated in 2021 the family resettled in the city of Ivano Frankivsk where Nazar and her met.
Nazar, while a child of Christian parents, grew up living a double life. Until, at age 18, he experienced the grace filled and real love of God on a personal level at a Steiger event. That, turned his life around, and after giving his life to Christ, he joined his friend in starting a youth ministry. Together, and with Ariel's brother Arlen and his now wife, Masha (who all met on the same day), they dove into what God was leading them to do. And that is, to be a light for their generation.
Nazar and Ariel are currently in Ukraine, starting their newly married life while continuing to invest into the youth through discipleship and creative projects that share the good news of the gospel.
“The gospel is not just words but rather life, that was meant to be lived out, not just spoken or acted on during church service. Our heart is for sons and daughters to be reunited with their Father. To be free, on fire and in the father’s love.”
