Author: jnbmission
We are Josh and Nicole Baldonado, missionaries in L’viv, Ukraine since 2014. We work with an evangelical church called New Horizons, where we're involved in pastoral support and discipleship. Josh is also on the church staff, and he helps facilitate English club evangelism, leads sound ministry, and participates in regular church activities.
Nicole serves in counseling and discipleship, worship ministry, and managing various church projects. In the fall of 2017, she'll also be starting a community building ministry with New Horizons. The goal will be to reach underserved populations in our city and in Ukraine.
We have an almost four-year old daughter, Nora, and a one-year old son, Titus. It's a privilege to raise them on the mission-field, teaching them first hand about Christ's love for the nations and the value of intercultural living.
