Ukraine: hunger for God

‘I served in Ukraine alongside those who risk their lives preaching the Gospel, delivering humanitarian aid, and evacuating people. Many opened their hearts to Christ everywhere I preached. I have never seen such a hunger for God in any other country. We were going to the churches where the Ukrainian pastor with us had been delivering pastoral care until Russians beat him almost to death. In my heart I carried the word I received from the Lord for the people of Donbas, where the war had continued for nine years: “The people who were sitting in darkness saw a great Light, and those who were sitting in the land and shadow of death, upon them a Light dawned”. It was there in Donbas that I saw how powerful prayer is, how powerful God’s protection is, and how great a desire for salvation the Holy Spirit can arouse in people.’
