“I do not know in what mood you came here,” said Igor Bandura, senior vice president of the Baptist Union of Ukraine during his most recent sermon, “but I know for sure that if you open your heart to the Lord, you will come out renewed, strengthened in Jesus Christ, and ready for anything that is challenging our life.”
Bandura and many more evangelical pastors preached similar hope, prayer, and peace to their congregations on Sunday.
Let us pray with them for these truths to take root in Ukrainian Christians and give them strength:
- While sometimes God delivers miraculously, at other times he led his people through times of destruction. But in all cases it is for his glory, that people may know that he is God.
– Alexander Pakhai - Will we be ready to continue in hope, certain that God is still our protector?
– Eduard Bondarovsky - Neither Putin nor anyone else can separate us from the love of God.
– Vyacheslav Shcherbakov
