Open to the Gospel - Ukraine Crisis Story

In the midst of tragedy and upheaval there are many opportunities to share the gospel.

Here is one example from a local church partner in Ukraine:

Today there were by God's goodness now three groups for our daily meetings. People were very open to discussion about God. Most of them have at some time visited an Orthodox church but almost no one could give an answer to the question "Who is God, what is He like?" So we talked about this topic. After our discussion people began to realize that God is a real Person, who totally understands us and we can confidently rely on Him, that He is always near and feels all that we feel.

The number of refugees is not decreasing but rather increasing with each day. God sent us some more folding beds and so today we were able to accept more people.

Have you ever made a New Year’s resolution only to break it in less than a week? On March 1, 1.8 billion Muslims began their annual fasting month called Ramadan. They are supposed to fast completely—no water or food—during daylight hours from March 1–Mar 29. It begins with much fanfare, promises, and declarations, as fasting during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. Muslims believe that faithfully keeping the fast ensures one’s place of favor with God.
