About

Learn more about our church by checking out our spotlight!

 

The Church in Kherson is across the river from russian forces and had been under russian occupation until Ukrainian liberation on November 11, 2022. As with the rest of Ukraine, they are currently suffering from a cold winter and little electricity.

 

Townspeople live under the constant threat of drone and missile attack. russian drones fly overhead and safari hunt civilians. Mothers with their baby strollers, grannies buying their groceries, civilians repairing a roof, and churchgoers walking to worship.  All are targets. The stress, fear, and uncertainty is wearing. Each day the church praises God for his preserving power as they try to adapt and minister under the uncertain reality of war.

 

The church does not currently have an ordained pastor and many of the elders have been called up for service. Still, they gather for worship, Bible study, and prayer and are thankful for when neighboring pastors come to preach and administer the sacraments

Pray for

  • Safety! Attacks are increasing-especially the Safari hunts of people as they walk or drive in the streets. Iy is harder and harder to get to church and to deliver aid and VERY dangerous for Pastor Andreii to come from Mykolaiv to preach. Pray That God will protect the church and her people.
  • Our elderly congregants -they continue to suffer from the stress of war, the increase in prices, and the difficulty in getting medicines.
  • Our children – many women and children have fled to safer places, but pray for the safety of those who remain and for their childhood as they are growing up under these attacks and destruction.
  • The spiritual growth and faith of our congregation.
  • A growing confidence in the soverignty and love of God in the face of danger.
  • Peace.

Praise for

  • God being greater than our fears-he protects us and shelters us from harm.
  • Our ability to meet together and worship and the ability of Pastor Andriy to come and serve communion and give respite to our Deacons.
  • Our generator-which continues to provide us with electricity during the frequent power outages.
  • The ability to help our community through the distribution of humanitarian aid and being able to recharge devices.
