A recent road trip across Ukraine revealed that Pentecostal and evangelical churches are experiencing significant growth, and may emerge from the war stronger than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cChurches are packed out because people are seeking God,\u201d says Jane M. Dollar, 57, an Assemblies of God world missionary to Ukraine who has spent the past year operating a center for Ukrainian refugees in Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is great spiritual hunger in the nation, according to Mykhailo Panochko, senior bishop of the 100-year-old Ukrainian Pentecostal Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPeople heard the message of the good news,\u201d Panochko says. \u201cMany repented and have been discipled and baptized. The harvest is so big that we lack workers, ministers, people who can feed and grow the people, maturing them in Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, a small church in the once-occupied southern city of Kherson has more than 500 new people attending, but only one minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEveryone has many questions about the present situation, but also the future destiny of their souls,\u201d Panochko says. \u201cPeople are looking for answers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
