The Gospel Today exists to equip and encourage churches around the world in the task of biblical evangelism and discipleship.
Our mission is rooted in the conviction that the gospel of Jesus Christ is both timeless and urgently needed today. We come alongside local churches by providing practical training, gospel-centered resources, and strategic support that helps believers share their faith and grow in spiritual maturity.
Through seminars, print materials, online media, and personal mentorship, The Gospel Today works to mobilize Christians and strengthen gospel witness in communities across Ukraine and around the world.
The Gospel Today was founded in 2015 by three pastors with a shared passion for equipping the church: Caleb Suko, Roman Kalashnikov, and Yuri Karamaneshta. Born out of a desire to provide biblical, practical tools for evangelism and discipleship, the ministry began by serving a handful of churches in Ukraine.
Over time, God expanded the reach and impact of The Gospel Today far beyond what we first imagined. Since 2015, the ministry has partnered with over 100 churches, training more than 2,500 believers in gospel-centered evangelism and discipleship. We have distributed over 30,000 printed resources designed to help churches share the message of Christ clearly and biblically.
From small village churches to large urban congregations, The Gospel Today continues to serve the global church with timeless truth and present-day relevance.
