On November 23rd, 2025, at 2:00 AM, Pastor Nikolay Novik peacefully stepped into glory after courageously battling glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive brain tumor. He was 68. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Inna, his bride of 45 years — a faithful partner in ministry and in life. Together, they raised seven children, all walking with the Lord, and are blessed with 21 grandchildren, a living legacy of faithfulness, love, and generational impact.

Pastor Nikolay was not just a preacher. He was a pioneer, a builder, a father, and a spiritual father to many. After migrating to the U.S., he pastored in Philadelphia for over 20 years at Word of Life Church, and helped establish Life for All Nations Church. He preached revival, lived humility, and loved people deeply. Even in his final days, in the midst of physical weakness, his spirit remained strong. One of his last words was whispered in total surrender: “Lord, have I pleased You? What else can I do for You?” That’s who he was — until his final breath.This fundraiser is to honor his life and support his legacy. 

Many reached out to the family asking where they can give so this fund has been created for that. Funds will go toward funeral and memorial expenses, to celebrate his life meaningfully and with dignity, and to support his wife, Inna, as she navigates this new season of life, grieving the loss of her husband, ministry partner, and best friend. Pastor Nikolay gave his life to building the Church. He poured into thousands, never asking for anything in return. Now, we have an opportunity to pour back — to honor his legacy, bless his family, and carry forward the torch he so faithfully held. Let’s surround this family with love, care and prayer.
