Arlen & Masha Lynch

Arlen and Masha are a God-united couple that passionately loves Jesus and want to see his kingdom come to earth as it is in heaven.

Both of them were brought up in Christian homes but only stepped into a close relationship with God in their teen years. Having been born and raised in two geographically opposite cities in Ukraine—namely Kharkiv and Ivano-Frankivsk—they never met until late, perilous 2022. Arlen had moved with his family to the latter city when they were driven to leave their home due to the sudden invasion. In the meanwhile, the reality of the war drove Masha into a profound realization of what really matters—Jesus and others. The Holy Spirit reignited in her a desire to devote her life fully to Him. God turned wreckage into joy when Arlen and Masha met and got married in Ivano-Frankivsk 2 years later.

The very same day Arlen and Masha first met on a regular October sunday, they were divinely gathered with several other people, including Arlen’s sister Ariel and her husband Nazar. Collectively, they soon united to fight for a beautiful cause: to reach the unbelieving youth of the city. They began ministering specifically to youth that are blinded by negative stereotypes about God and would never walk into a church. As a team, they created a dynamic community in which they held reflective Bible studies for the non-religious and bold, gen-z-modeled church services. It was at these gatherings that Masha and Arlen played key roles of leading the non-believing teens into the presence of God through worship. When Arlen just moved to Ivano-Frankivsk, God showed him in a dream how he was leading worship, and youth started crying while being touched and healed by His presence. It was beautiful for him and Masha to see this dream become reality before there eyes. The two of them have been talented in worship and music from childhood and have a deep passion for worshipping, leading, and playing in different settings.

Wherever they may be, whether it’s at church, on the streets, or in front of a crowd of youth that smells like cigarettes and doesn’t believe in God, they burn to see heaven break forth. 

 “Our desire is to redeem, revive, and empower the people around us for Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are passionate about our music and song bringing healing to the broken, and we delight in empowering others to walk in spirit and in truth, in love and power. We want to see influencers have encounters with God so that the power of His Love is put on display for the world to see.”
