Ukraine: Fear, faith... and tensions

Ukrainian evangelicals are standing firm in their faith as their country faces a challenging and unpredictable future.

“We are in a very difficult situation, but not without hope,” says Igor Bandura, the Ukrainian Baptist Union’s vice president for international relations. “People in Ukraine are tired. But I believe the majority of people are still standing strong and believe that Ukraine should have a just and lasting peace.

“It’s a time of uncertainty. In uncertainty our faith is challenged and tested, but we rely upon God,” he adds, noting that while political leaders or allies may disappoint, “we have never, ever been discouraged by our God.”
