About Us

  • Peter Dudnik

    FOUNDER

    Peter Dudnik is one of the founders of the Association of Churches “Ukraine’s Church of God” (UCG). Peter Dudnik is married and has eight children.

    In 2003, Pastor Peter and his wife Tamara received God’s revelation on the adoption of abandoned children into the Christian families. From that moment, they began to actively preach and spread the idea of adoption of abandoned children. They have become an example for others and brought into their home six children: Sergei, Anastasia, Pavel, Rimma, Dmitry, and Ramina.

    Thanks to their efforts, hundreds of children have found a new family and therefore – a happy childhood.

    He took active part in social activities, such as an establishment of the orphanage “Sails of Hope” and development of the national adoption doctrine, finding homes for thousands of orphans from Ukraine and Russia. He himself showed an example of a true adoption activist by bringing into his home abandoned children. Sergey and his wife Anna have 5 children, three of whom were adopted.

  • Alex Fedoruk / Lyudmila Fedoruk

    President / Vice President

    Alex and Lyudmila Fedoruk got married very young in 1998. In 2003, they emigrated with their two sons Mark and Roman from Ukraine to the United States.

    In 2010, their lives changed drastically after meeting Peter Doudnik and Sergey Demidovich. God planted a desire in their hearts to serve orphans and adoptive families, spreading the revelation of adoption. That was the beginning of the Together Ministry organization in Atlanta, GA. Five years later, their hearts are still passionate to serve God and people, carrying the gospel in their deeds, being in touch with the pain of others, and becoming the answer for their pain. They envision God’s light being reflected through them upon all who crosses their path for many more people can gain a new life in Jesus.

Our Vision

Together Ministry envisions a future where every family lives in harmony, where children who have endured war find hope, and orphans receive care and love. We aspire to create a world where family support, child rehabilitation, humanitarian aid, and orphan care become a reality for everyone.

Our Mission

The mission of Together Ministry is to bring positive and meaningful change to the lives of families, children, orphans, and those affected by war and disasters. We aim to provide them with essential support, rehabilitation, and humanitarian aid, strengthening family bonds and ensuring that children and orphans receive care and love. Our goal is to create a world where every individual can hope for a better future and live with dignity.

Family to Family

Together Ministry, in partnership with the nonprofit organization Global Christian Support Ministry implemented the “Family to Family” project.

Since 2014, we have provided an opportunity for families from the US and Europe to host children from the war zone in Eastern Ukraine, aged 9 to 17, for social rehabilitation.

1,821 children have received assistance to date.

Of these, about 800 children are in the United States.

We are grateful for your interest in our website and the work our team is doing. I believe you are not indifferent  person when it comes to struggles of those who suffered the impact of war, including hunger, homelessness, and  being forced to abandon home in search for safety. I know that you are not indifferent to lives of many children lacking parental love, care, and support. A heart of any Godly person aches seeing elderly and  handicapped people starve, without basic means to survive or the roof over their heads.

I am convinced that you are motivated not by idle curiosity, but rather by desire to help a person in need, and therefore, to bring a ray of light into someone’s life. Together Ministry is created to unite people like you, who seek to change the world by sharing HOPE, CARE, and LOVE with those who lack it the most. By joining us in our mission, you have an opportunity to share a little warmth of your heart and touch a hurting individual with a kind and caring love of God. 

Peter Dudnik - Leader of volunteer movement in eastern Ukraine

Currently all of our focus is on helping the displaced population of Ukraine. Every dollar we get is going to help house, feed, and rescue the most vulnerable in Ukraine.

At the end of the 90-s, following the collapse of Soviet ideology and economy, thousands of children were left homeless on the streets of Ukraine, and hundreds of newborns were abandoned in the hospitals. A proactive group of people from Church Good News in the city of Slavyansk (eastern Ukraine) has accepted the challenge of that time and organized the so-called “soup” projects, saving homeless children from starving to death. Pastor Peter Dudnik led the project, which soon grew into a full-scale orphanage “Sails of Hope.” To finance the project, Pastor Sergey Demidovich, with a help of his friend from Sacramento Aleks Lysenko, registered Together Ministry organization. Dozens of partners supported the orphan’s ministry in Ukraine on a monthly basis.

In 2003, Peter Dudnik receives revelation about adoption, later picked up by Sergey Demidovich. After adopting a child each, both Peter and Sergey have established a new adoption doctrine, which then resulted in the national movement “Ukraine Without Orphans,” and later emerged on international level, promoting a culture of adoption. Since then, Igor and Marina Yudin in Portland and Peter and Galina Darmogray in Sacramento helped lead the ministry in the United States.

In 2010, Alex and Lyudmila Fedoruk re-registered Together Ministry in Atlanta, GA. They sincerely joined the mission to carry on the revelation of adoption, serving orphans and adoptive families in need. As the war broke down in eastern Ukraine in 2014, many families lost their providers, loved ones, homes, and even basic means to survive. In response to the crisis, Together Ministry joined the movement of humanitarian help to support victims of undeclared war. Since then, the ministry has expanded into providing physical, emotional, and spiritual well being where it is needed the most, whether it is finding home for orphans, supporting adoptive families, or serving refugees. Today, Together Ministry has grown into a team of dedicated volunteers, who are ready to bring positive change into people’s lives on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.

Together Ministry is a non-profit organization operating in eastern Ukraine with the main office in Atlanta, GA and supporting operations in Sacramento, CA. You are invited to become actively involved in the ministry by either providing financial support or volunteering or even becoming a part of the organization, as we are seeking to grow and expand our team, fulfilling the purpose of Christians on Earth.
