Memoir

He was told to renounce his belief in God or face certain death. He chose
God. In this powerful story we follow the lives of two Ukrainian
natives-Peter and Irina Tkachuk, who went against the cultural norm of their
country and chose to follow God. Through uncertainty and an authoritative
rule, they chose radical obedience. The Tkachuks took the charge to share
the Kingdom with those around them from school age children to wounded
soldiers. The Ark of Ukraine is more than a missionary’s memoir. The
moving testimonials and resilient faith exhibited by the people in these
pages is captivating and moving. The work they did and the lives they
touched are nothing short of a miracle. This book will ignite your faith and
inspire you to do your part in sharing the light and life of the Kingdom.

INTERVIEW
What was your main drive to write this book?
It was during a board meeting of Noah’s Ark Ukraine Mission that one of the new board members kept asking Irina and Peter question after question about the mission. I was getting irritated and wanted to get on with the meeting, but later I realized that there was no place where the story was written down.
After the meeting I was taking a walk and I thought, “Who's going to tell the story?” Then I realized that I might just be the one. I felt that this is an important story that needed to be told.
What do you hope readers will learn by reading this book?
I believe that there is at least one message in each chapter, but overall I hope that people will begin to understand more fully that God is at work in every part of the world and that He is able to accomplish the work He asks us to do. There is nothing impossible with God.
Did you do much research when planning this book?
Yes, I relied on newsletters, prayer requests, reports from the ministry team, interviews, especially interviews with Peter and Irene and their daughter, Anna. I did some historical research as well.
Did you have any main people who helped you in the process of this book or influenced you to write it?
I had a lot of encouragement from the board, and one of the board members read the first few chapters and gave me feedback, but once I knew I was going to write it, I didn’t need anyone to keep me going.
How long did this book take you to write from initial thought to hitting publish?
As far as I can figure out, I started in March 2023 and finished writing in December 2023. 9 Months!
The book was published in august 2024.
Do you have plans to write more about this topic or new topics?
At this time I do not plan to write more about the Noah’s Ark Ukraine mission, but I am a few pages in to writing a book for my granddaughter.
