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
