Ukraine - The Colker Family
"We have seen God do many amazing things over the past two years in our lives and in the country we serve."
The Colker Family in Kyiv, Ukriane www.colkerfamily.org
The Colker family was established in 1984 when Pam and Jeff were
married in Florida. They have been blessed with ten children and had
resided in the Atlanta, Georgia suburbs since 1986. In 2005, they felt
called into missions and called to Ukraine. Later that year Jeff
released his business in Atlanta and began training with Youth With A
Mission (YWAM). After his return to the states in the fall of 2005 he
and his wife Pam moved the family to Kyiv, Ukraine.
As independent missionaries, their family seeks to fulfill the Great
Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) while working as the hands of Christ in orphanages, schools and hospitals ministering to the tens of thousands of orphans and Ukrainian street children who have no place to call home. There is a desperate need for preaching the gospel and discipling to this generation of children so His powerful message of redemption and hope can resonate throughout their lives and bring lasting change to them, their families, communities and nation.
They have with their ten children been in Ukraine since November, 2005 and are serving with YWAM Kyiv - Family Ministries. Pam is providing counseling and training in parenting and raising children for Christ. Jeff is directing YWAM Kiev's new Mercy Truck ministry
www.MercyTrucksUA.org. Greg, their eldest son, has begun his own
missionary journey and is currently attending training in Closkelt,
Northern Ireland greg.ColkerFamily.org. The next three oldest
children, Steven, Emily and Jennie continue to serve in Ukraine in
various ministries as volunteers. "We have seen God do many amazing things over the past two years in our lives and in the country we serve. We are blessed to be called to His service and to be a part of the harvest in Ukraine."
