His wife is a girl from a Christian family in the South, from Krasnodar.

She was brought to Rehab Center by also a drug-addict girlfriend from a cellar, where they have been living in misery.

14. Vladimir and Julia Ezhov. From the very beginning of our ministry God called Vladimir to be the leader of the work in the North-West region of Russia, and now, as we see clearly, even all over our big country. This September his wife, medical doctor by education, went for a two-year program to become a narcologist, for having a professional will strengthen our positions in the ministry a lot. With two kids in the family and husband carrying a very serious responsibility, taking away lots of his time and effort, is not easy. We really feel that this year their family needs additional help.
