Pavlo & Maria Protopopov

Pavlo started following Christ in 2010 in Ukraine and felt immediately called into ministry. Since that time, Pavlo has been a key part of organizing three new churches. In 2018, he started Reconciliation Bible Church, where he serves as pastor. Pavlo hosts a Youtube channel called ПАSTORY, where he uses interviews with pastors to discuss church planting. He is now a member of the Josiah Venture team in Ukraine. He is responsible for Exponential, a church planting conference, in Ukraine, and is a trainer for the European church planting network, M4. Pavlo dreams of seeing a culture that is passionate about church planting, both inside and outside of Ukraine. He has been married to Maria since 2011 and they have three kids.
