We, George and Sarah de Vuyst, are missionaries with Resonate Global Mission (formerly known as Christian Reformed World Missions). We have been serving with Resonate since 1998. Until June 2021, we were in Ukraine.
We began in the western region of Ukraine mentoring local missionaries and planting a Reformed church in the town of Mukachevo. In 2010, we began using Timothy Leadership Training to equip church leaders in healthy church practices.
In 2013, we moved to the capital city, Kyiv, where George continued to train pastors in the Timothy Leadership Training and facilitate healing and reconciliation through "Healing Hearts, Transforming Nations" (HHTN) workshops and trainings for facilitators.
In June 2021, we traveled to Michigan to visit our partner churches, help our oldest daughter transition to college, and introduce Healing Hearts, Transforming Nations in North America. We planned to return overseas in June 2022. Russia's war against Ukraine changed that. God, however, provided opportunity for us to continue ministering around the world. We pray for the war to end and for opportunities to serve and minister to Ukrainians now and in the future. With our youngest graduating from high school, we plan to return to Europe in fall 2025.
We have three children, Abigail, Matthew and Elizabeth, and two labradoodles.
