This time, Danyl Semenenko, an elder at Church of the Full Gospel, originally from Ukraine,
and owner of medical equipment salon „Nuga Best – Semenenko“; spoke about how, as a
husband and father of two boys, he manages to balance business, family, and church service,
especially in the context of his experience relocating from Ukraine and building a business in
Croatia.
When the entire family is involved in running a business, boundaries between work and
family life often tend to disappear. For believers, this challenge is further amplified by the
desire and sense of duty to dedicate a certain amount of time and talents to the Lord and to
serve His Kingdom. Danyl shared his testimony and presented a “recipe” that has proven
effective for his family: setting aside specific days of the week entirely dedicated to the
family, as well as a special day devoted to church and serving the Lord. By establishing clear
boundaries in this way, it becomes possible to maintain the right balance and the Holy Spirit
within us produces both the desire and the ability to please Him and to fulfill everything He
has called us to, while we must not forget that our primary calling is always the family.

Danyl’s presentation was very beneficial to all participants, and we are grateful that he
shared the insights he has gained through his rich experience as a father, entrepreneur, and
church elder.
As always, our focus was also on fellowship and conversation, and other attendees were
eager to share their views, dilemmas, and experiences. The atmosphere was very inspiring
and engaging.
We look forward to seeing you again in the autumn with new themes and ideas!
