Andrii & Yulia Polonnikov

Teresa

Andrii was born in Lviv, Ukraine, where he has lived his whole life. He began attending church through a friend. Through a summer camp ministry, Andrii started to understand what it meant to live with the Lord when he was only 12 years old. At the age of 13, he made a commitment to follow Jesus. He is committed in service to his new church, where he has been a main elder. He has also been the head coach for their floorball team.

Andrii and his wife, Yulia, love working with teenagers and realize the influence that they can have on their lives. Serving in sports has allowed Andrii to use his God-given talents to reach the lost and grow the body of Christ. It’s his vision to see local churches using sports to serve the next generation. Since its creation in 2013, Andrii has been helping lead the EDGE Sports ministry in Ukraine. In 2015, he began to co-lead this ministry full-time. In addition, Yulia serves in their local church’s girls’ ministry and helps to organize camp events during the summer. She is also involved in ministry for girls and women throughout Ukraine.

In July 2024, Andrii was mobilized into the Ukrainian army. He continues to remain on staff as he fulfills the Great Commission and makes disciples of the next generation in his new context in the Ukrainian army.
