In 2013 the de Vuyst family moved from western Ukraine to the capital city, Kyiv, where George trained pastors in the Timothy Leadership Training and facilitated healing and reconciliation through “Healing Hearts, Transforming Nations” immersive workshops and trainings for facilitators.
In 2021, they moved to the U.S. for Re-Connect with partner churches and to help bring the Healing Hearts, Transforming Nations ministry to North America. They planned to return overseas in June 2022, but Russia’s war against Ukraine changed that. God, however, has opened doors to expand Healing Hearts, Transforming Nations within North America, and ministry around the world continues. They pray for the war to end and look for opportunities to serve and minister to Ukrainians now and in the future.
Hear George tell powerful stories from his ministry in this video from a worship service in January 2025.

Steve and Chris have been working at LCC International University and bringing the gospel to students there since 2015.
Steve teaches in and chairs the theology department at LCC International University. Chris serves in many roles, providing margin for staff and faculty who are often overstretched. She also provides hospitality for many students and spiritual direction for some in the community.
Steve introduces students to the Bible with courses in Old Testament each fall and New Testament in the spring. About 80% of LCC students arrive with little prior exposure to the Bible or real understanding of the Christian faith. He also teaches advanced courses for theology majors and other interested students. For those who will pursue full- or part-time ministry work, these courses help prepare them for a lifetime of service.
Whether they come to the Christian faith or not, all students experience some of the richness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which provides holistic Good News for individuals, communities, and the world.
Steve also leads the Europe team of Resonate Global Mission which includes missionaries in nine countries.
