What should the response of the North American Church be to countries like Russia, Belarus and Ukraine as the war continues unabated? Are the doors closed or closing for the Gospel? Can we continue to have impact on people’s lives for the Kingdom of God in these environments of instability and unpredictability?

We will explore themes like:

How does working in an uncertain climate change the metrics you use to measure impact?

Is it possible to serve people in unstable environments in long-lasting meaningful ways?

How are local churches in Ukraine changing their ministry methodology to meet the current needs?

How is the Christian Church in more restricted nations or territories such as Belarus or Crimea serving the Kingdom of God today?

Be prepared to be challenged to see the conflict in Ukraine in a fresh way. Be ready to be inspired by stories of enduring faith and miraculous life transformation that defy the realities of war and trauma.
