Amanda has been serving the orphaned and vulnerable in Ukraine since 2005. What began as ministry in orphanages and detention centers grew into a deeper calling. She watched the children she loved age out of the system and fall into the same cycles of addiction, poverty, and hopelessness as their parents. So she shifted her focus to those aged-out orphans, walking alongside them through bible studies, support programs, and transition homes as they navigate adult life with no family to lean on.
Max Fetisov founded True Hope Ministries in 1999 - at just 11 years old - after meeting an orphan for the first time and realizing she had never heard a Bible story. He kept coming back, brought friends, and what started as one boy visiting one orphanage became a ministry that now reaches thousands across Ukraine. In 2017, Max and Amanda married, uniting two decades of shared burden into one life and one mission for the gospel.
