JOSEPH BONDARENKO
We are privileged to have Pastor Joseph Bondarenko speak to our CPA community about his experience as a pastor who was arrested and imprisoned for his faith in Soviet Russia during the Cold War. He has an amazing testimony and message of hope that we believe is perfect for our student body and families to hear during these times we are facing in the church and the world today. We encourage you to read his auto-biography, "The KGB's Most Wanted," which can be found on Amazon.
Please join us for our virtual Symposium. Email for sign-ups will be sent shortly. Invite family and friends!
The founder of TGCM, evangelist and pastor, Joseph Bondarenko, has been an active Christian leader of the evangelical church in the former Soviet Union. He spent nearly10 years of his life in Soviet prisons for his faith in Jesus, proclamation of the Word of God, and teaching children and youth to carry on the torch of faithfulness through Biblical principles. His calling to the ministry was evident through his faithfulness as a pastor and founder of evangelical churches in Latvia, Russia (Western Siberia), and the United States. Despite numerous death threats from the KGB, he persisted in his mission to encourage believers to stand firm in their faith through the unrelenting storms of persecution.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Joseph started massive evangelistic crusades in Russia and former Soviet Republics and helped organize these crusades for Billy Graham and Luis Palau in Russia and Ukraine. His experience as a gifted organizer, evangelist, church-planter and visionary is invaluable to the Christian community as he continues to serve the purposes of God today. At 75, he graduated from International Theological Seminary (ITS) with a Doctorate's degree in Theology. At 86 years of age, he continues to be fruitful for the Lord, passionate and full of enthusiasm; never stops learning and stays young at heart.
