Our Team
Natasha Dzhuga
Founder of Global Fire Starter Ministries
Natasha is a ministry/church planter and builder. Her heart has always been to expand the kingdom by discipleship and to raise individuals, as well as non-profits, to reach their highest potential. She is a kingdom shaker and mover. She has planted many different community groups, which are still ongoing today. These include couples, teens, women's groups, schools, and church plants.
Worked as a Director of Finance. Holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Finance and Management. She is married to her childhood sweetheart, Sergey, and together they have two adult children, Jacob and Kristin.
​
She is the founder and CEO of Global Fire Starter Ministries, which started as a women’s retreat ministry in 2019. Initially, it was named “Fire Starter,” but in 2021, God moved on her heart and caused the trajectory of the ministry to be global and to impact both men and women. At the age of seven, Natasha was a Ukrainian refugee herself, coming to the United States to flee religious persecution with her family.
In February, 2022 when the war broke out, she returned to Ukraine for the first time after 33 years because she heard the global calling on her life. When she discovered the needs of the Ukrainian people who had been displaced all over the world, she knew that she could help since she is fluent in Ukrainian, Russian, and English. Natasha realized that the global need was too great for her handful of volunteers so she answered the call of God to raise and train up individuals who would be willing to make an impact in our broken world which she is working on today. ​​​​​​​​​​​

Kristin Dzhuga
Executive Assistant
My name is Kristin Dzhuga, I was born and raised in South West Florida and I love it here. I have a heart for worship and it’s been my passion ever since I was young. It started when I led worship at my small private school, to leading worship at crusades and events all over the World, and eventually starting my own worship
ministry. God has given me the heart for true and pure worship.
In 2024, I graduated from a four month long intense discipleship school in Jacksonville, FL and from there I went on to Kenya to bring the gospel to a small tribe in Africa. I have had the blessing of being able to go on a few mission trips to cities in America including Boston and Atlanta, as well as overseas to Thailand and Poland. I am serving at GFSM because the Lord asked me to give a year to this ministry and I go wherever He wants me to go.
