We are thrilled to share with you an inspiring story of hope and resilience from our Sister Church Association in Ukraine. In these challenging times, your support is making a profound difference in the lives of our Ukrainian brothers and sisters.
A Shining Example: New Hope Evangelical Church
In Uzhhorod, Ukraine, the New Hope Evangelical Church stands as a beacon of God’s love and grace. For over two years, they have been supported by the International Church of Ljubljana through our Sister Church Association. What began as a six-month commitment has blossomed into a long-term partnership, demonstrating the power of Christian fellowship across borders.
The Impact of a Sister Church relationship:
- Pastor Vyacheslav can now focus full-time on ministry instead of working a second job.
- A new generation of leaders is being trained, filling the gap left by those serving on the front lines or who have relocated as refugees.
- The church is not just surviving but thriving, with recent highlights including:
- A successful evangelistic event led by new church leaders
- Five baptisms on Pentecost Sunday
- Expansion of their church building
The Ripple Effect
This partnership has allowed New Hope to become a hub of spiritual growth and outreach. Pastor Vyacheslav now travels to Kyiv to teach at a seminary, raising up future pastors for Ukraine. Meanwhile, the newly trained leaders continue the vital work at home.
Your Opportunity to Make a Difference
While New Hope’s story is inspiring, many Ukrainian churches are still struggling. They need the support and encouragement that a Sister Church partnership can provide.
