In Ukraine, despite warfare continuing throughout 2023, there were reports of people being the hands and feet of Jesus by remaining in danger zones to hand out food parcels, provide shelter to those whose homes were destroyed, and preach the gospel to those without hope in times of suffering and uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the citizens who have chosen to stay in Ukraine, there have been reports of a thriving and multiplying Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hope that is brought by the Ukrainian Church, through relief efforts in such a difficult season, has seen people turning to Christ where hope is difficult to find.
