I believe that this generation is and will become partakers of a great spiritual movement and fire from God.

From the young age of sixteen I sang in a singing group for twelve years, touring North America and Europe several times. Our first journey to the USSR was under communism in 1973, traveling as tourists. This caused such a stir among the registered churches in each of the fifteen major cities visited during that historic 50 day trip. They were facing difficult times of persecution and what a great encouragement it was for them to see five young people from the US, singing and testifying boldly in their own language to them!
While traveling in Europe in 1973, singing at an International Youth Conference held in Sweden, I was tremendously impacted by the ministry of a missions organization called Youth With A Mission, or YWAM as it is better known. Loren Cunningham, their International Director, encouraged me to attend their school of ministry and I did this in Lausanne, Switzerland at their School of Evangelism in 1975. Further training was received at Genesis Training Institute and later their School of Ministries in Santa Rosa, California, 1978-1979.
Since that historic visit in 1973, we have visited Ukraine 90 times and helped to establish several new churches which are presently thriving. Another aspect of our ministry is that we love to link up with other ministries for evangelism and have done so by translating men of God such as Lowell Lundstrom, Loren Cunningham, Reinhard Bonnke and David Yonggi Cho in major outreaches in Ukraine. Our home church in Union, NJ was bi-lingual and we had to translate our services in 2 languages on a consistent basis. As a result, our translation skills were maintained on a very professional level.
It was a tremendous privilege to translate Franklin Graham into Ukrainian in Kyiv’s Olympic Stadium where crowds of of up to 42,000 came for three evenings in July to hear the Gospel preached. Over 6 thousand decisions were officially recorded.
Presently, the thrust of my ministry is threefold: First, continuing to record music that prepares the heart for evangelism. Secondly, conducting evangelistic outreaches in new, unreached areas of Ukraine, and thirdly, teaching on personal discipleship and missions in Bible schools around the world.
Together with my wife Esty, we live in Lake Park near Charlotte, North Carolina.

Nikolai Pankratz
While still in school he recorded many songs going back all away to 1975 when he first started working with Earl Poysti (Ярл Николаевич Пейсте). His programs would start with “Коля, Петя, Саша идите слушать радио!” (Nick, Peter, Sasha go to listen to the radio!) These, in fact were the first gospel recordings ever made in the Russian language totaling over 140 songs which can be found today in the Russian hymnals. Mr. Pankratz was only 17 at that time and his Russian CDs are being released for the first time to the Russian speaking community.
The American albums listed had many hit songs and were played in United States on radio and TV. Mr. Pankratz was a frequent guest on many TV and radio talk shows both secular and Christian enabling him to minister to large crouds, churches, festivals and crusades (youth and old alike) in America.
This work differed from the radio shows broadcasted into Russia through Alex Leanovich, Michael Morgulis and Earl Poysti (Ярл Николаевич Пейсте) who catered more to conservative crowds in the former Sovient Union.
When Mr. Pankratz visits a Slavic church he sings a few songs in the Russian language such as “О молитва” (“The Prayer”) and “Скоро день тот придет” (“Soon that day will come”) and gives an invitation following a message. His visit to the Slavic speaking community is a historic event since for the first time Russian people get to hear and meet the person behind the so many Russian songs and radio programs they grew up with. The reaction of the people is incredible and many respond to an invitation after the message. The youth is also challenged because of all the work and hit songs he had in America.
