200,000 TAKE TO THE STREETS OF UKRAINE TO PRAISE JESUS AND CELEBRATE THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION
Sergey Rakhuba with Mission Eurasia said, “Many traveled from all four provinces there just to be a part of that celebration, to thank God for the freedom to worship, to thank God for the freedom to preach the Gospel in their country, and to celebrate God’s faithfulness.” Rakhuba continued by explaining how miraculous a display like this is in a nation that was torn apart by communism, “It was so exciting to see on the screen of my computer where I was watching young people with so much joy. They glorify God in the midst of their capital. This was the same place where they were protesting just a few years ago fighting for their freedom. But, also, this is the place where many years ago, Communists would force people to demonstrate and propagate Socialism, Atheism, Communism, and other ‘isms’ in their country.”
Rakhuba acknowledges that Ukraine faces difficult days ahead, but he is praising God for the spread of Christianity in Ukraine. “Ukraine is still in the midst of war. Eastern Ukraine and territories are still occupied by Russian or pro-Russian separatists. Crimea was annexed by Russia. So yes, Ukraine is struggling politically and economically, but Ukraine is striving today spiritually, pleading to God to bless that nation.”
