This year at Fall conference, we were able to have all of the staff people from Ukraine, along with many church leaders attend the conference.  The last morning of conference, the leader of JV Ukraine, Ben Williams, shared about the current situation in Ukraine.  Ukraine is at War with Russia, but through it all, the Word of God is being spread!  They showed this video about a local Youth Pastor Oleg and how he and his church were responding to everything.  The video is a little old, but it is very good, please check it out! Pray for Ukraine!  After the video they called Oleg up to the stage. He was at the conference!  There were a couple things that he said that were very powerful.  He told us that now they are not only helping the people in Kiev, but also taking stuff including Bibles to the soldiers on the front.  He said they have passed out over 80,000 Bibles and that most people are primarily interested in a Bible over warm clothes or Hot tea.  Many have given their lives to Christ!  When asked why they were doing it, he said, “In war there are two kinds of people, soldiers and civilians.  The difference between the two is a civilian runs from the battle and a soldier runs towards the battle.  God called us to be soldiers, that is why we go!”  This was so powerful to hear!  The last thing he shared, was their prayer request.  He said that they had been asking that no more people would die.  Now they know people will die, so they are praying that no one would die without knowing the Lord!  Let’s join them in this prayer!!
