War in Ukraine - UPDATE
September 29th 2022
In contrast to the horror and destruction of the war in Ukraine, it is remarkable and refreshing to hear Ukrainian Pastors say, "our church body has been rejuvenated because of this war. God completely changed us. We woke up from our comfortable life. Now we truly understand what it means to be the body of Christ."
Apostle Paul, using a metaphor of the human body - described how each person has an important role to play in the life of the church. Ukraine's war has reinforced this. There is something for everyone to do.
Some are cooking food, others are washing and cleaning clothes, some are evacuating people because they have a car, while others are counseling the traumatized, some are good administrators and coordinators, others are prayer warriors, and some have plenty of brawn and can load trucks with food and relief aid supplies for the displaced, while others choose to help out with activities for refugee children. The list goes on and on.
But all are united and motivated by a desire to demonstrate God's love to people whose lives were turned upside down by this war. As a result, transformation is happening every day. Churches are filled with displaced people who have experienced God's love in action and are hungry to hear more of His word and the hope it brings to their lives.
As you can imagine, the demands on Pastors, leaders, and volunteers have been ongoing - 24/7 - since the war began. Despite the enormous workload and the exhaustion accompanying it, one young pastor, though weary but with a twinkle of joy in his eyes, put it this way; "although the refugees need us… in reality, we need them too."
