Before that, he chaired the business department of Korean Union College in Seoul, Korea, for five years, 1978-83. From 1975-78 he managed the finances of Mount Pisgah Academy in Candler, North Carolina.  Between his discharge from two years of military service, stationed in Germany, and the move to North Carolina, he was director of the computing center at Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Michigan, completed his MBA, and worked in the marketing field. He had earned his B.S. degree there in 1966 and was immediately employed by Andrews University.

featured image

Lyubov Alekseevna Titova (Sinchuk) was born on January 21, 1935, in the village of Kotlyarevskaya, Kabardino-Balkar Republic, in a family of Orthodox Cossack settlers who, as a result of the preaching of Evangelical missionaries, received water baptism and began to confess Christ as Evangelical Christians Baptists. She served the Lord from a young age. In 1957, she married Viktor Petrovich Titov and they lived together for 64 years. They had 8 children, 30 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren. Lyubov served her Lord by singing in the choir, she sang solo as well in the Church of Vladikavkaz, North Ossetia, now the Republic of Alania. In 1995, she and her family immigrated to the United States. All this time she was a member of the Slavic Baptist Church in Lincoln, NE. Lyubov was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and a great example for children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. On February 11, 2023, on her 89th year of life, she passed into Eternity. Let the words of Scripture be a consolation for all relatives and friends, as well as a reminder for everyone:
“Verily, verily, I say to you: He who hears my word and believes in him who sent me has eternal life, and does not come to judgment, but has passed from death into life.” (Jn 5:24)

Любовь Алексеевна Титова (Синчук) родилась 21-го Января 1935 года, в станице Котляревской, Кабардино Болкарской Республике, в семье православных казаков переселенцев, которые в результате проповеди Евангельских миссионеров приняли водное крещение и стали исповедовать Христа, как Евангельские Христиане Баптисты. Она с юных лет служила Господу. В 1957 году она вышла замуж за Титова Виктора Петровича и они вместе прожили 64 года. Они имели 8 детей, 30 внуков и 21 (?) правнука. Почти все время она пела в хоре, иногда соло, в Церкви города Владикавказ, Северной Осетии, ныне Республика Алания. В 1995 году она вместе с семьёй иммигрировала в США. Всё это время она была членом Славянской Баптистской Церкви в Линкольне штата Небраска, и всегда по возможности посещала собрания. Она была любящей женой, матерью, бабушкой, прабабушкой и примером для детей, внуков и правнуков. 11 Февраля, 2023 года на 89-м году она ушла в Вечность. Пусть утешением для всех родных и близких, а также напоминанием для всех будут слова Писания:
«Истинно, истинно говорю вам: слушающий слово Мое и верующий в Пославшего Меня имеет жизнь вечную, и на суд не приходит, но перешел от смерти в жизнь.»(Ин 5:24).

A funeral service will be held Wednesday February 15, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. at the First Slavic Baptist Church; 3801 La Salle St, Lincoln, NE 68516. A graveside service to follow at Oak Creek Cemetery; 3230 West Mill Road Raymond, Nebraska 68428.
