Urgent Appeal: Russian & Western Disciples Unite for Worldwide Help for Ukrainian Churches
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The Evangelists, Elders and Teachers Service Teams are asking you to share your compassion by praying and helping with this urgent appeal from disciples in our churches in Ukraine. Please share this appeal and video with your local church and with others and send your personal and church donations to help these churches. Instructions on how to send funds are in the article below.
Twenty-two years ago this month, I boarded a train from Moscow to Kiev to plant the Church of Christ in the Ukraine! It was an amazing time, as we watched 500 people come to the first service and saw 27 baptized in the first week! God definitely had plans to add to his number! Twenty-two years later, we are just as convinced that God is with us and still has great plans! The recent events starting in November have brought many challenges to the church. We are grateful for God’s grace and His Word that has guided our hearts and continues to work powerfully in our fellowship and in the hearts of those seeking Him.
