In 1989 the iron curtain collapsed and Russia went bankrupt. With the collapse of communism the makeup of the world began to change, the balance of power starting to shift as events around the globe caught many countries off guard, throwing them into a whirlpool of uncertainty, drastic economic reforms, radicalism and often fanaticism. With the unexpected breakaway of the USSR republics I was asked to join a special committee and suddenly found myself sitting across the table from heads of states, ambassadors, ministers and other political figures of the world. I welcomed and accepted these changes as a sign and saw them as immense opportunities for this time and moment of my life. I discovered God's plan for me to be a part of history in helping to shape the political arena of the world and that was exciting! It was excited to see government officials, formerly antagonistic to my convictions and beliefs, now open to the Gospel of Christ. It was out of this necessity that Ambassador for Life was born!
