European Christian Mission International (ECMI) says that, among Baptists alone, around 160 Ukrainian churches have been planted across Europe during the past four years.
ECMI’s Strategic Partnerships Director, Jim Memory, recently attended the Ukrainian Baptist Churches in Europe Conference in Poland. “He came away deeply encouraged by what God is doing through Ukrainian Christians across the continent,” ECMI said.
“Increasingly, Ukrainian believers are refusing to see themselves only as refugees” ECMI added. “Instead, many are embracing a different calling – missionaries sent by God into the nations of Europe. This story reminds us of the early church in the book of Acts. When persecution scattered the first Christians, the gospel spread wherever they went.”
