    Led by Sasha Marchenko, ICF is doing a great work connecting men’s hearts to their children and to their Heavenly Father.  Sasha’s passion for God and his heart for the fathers, families and children of Ukraine have fueled a 15 year effort that continues to bear fruit in a society that desperately needs strong families to survive in challenging times.

    Having worked closely with “Sasha” for 8 years in Ukraine and the US, I have witnessed the efforts of ICF not only changing men and their families but literally impacting the nation of Ukraine and the Slavic people. I am impressed and convinced that he is God’s man for the this ministry.

    I had problems with my wife and kids many times. That disappointed me as a Christian. I have made decision to change my attitude. I will play with my kids, see cartoons, read books, and have meals together.

    The leadership seminar I attended was very important for me,  because I had a possibility to look at my family life from another perspective. I learned new ways of solving problems in family life. I will work on my relationship with kids to make it better.
