Bogdan Kipko is a NAMB representative and the NAMB catalyst for Slavic church planting, serving as a church planter with Send Network and the founding pastor of Forward Church in Irvine, California. He speaks both English and Russian, and having come to the United States from the former Soviet Union as a young person, he understands the Slavic immigrant journey firsthand.

Today he helps mobilize and encourage Russian- and Ukrainian-speaking church planters across North America. If you’re a Slavic believer sensing a call to plant and want to understand how Send Network and NAMB can come alongside you, Bogdan is a warm and natural first point of contact.
