2 Years After Russia’s Full-scale Invasion of Ukraine

YouTube video player

We answer your questions about life in Ukraine and what’s going on now here on the ground exactly 2 years after Russia’s invasion on February 24, 2022.

Below are some of the questions we answer in the video/podcast.

1. What is your plan if Russia wins the war and perhaps Odessa is threatened with being under Soviet control?
2. What is the perception of the Ukrainian people about America’s support or lack of support?
3. At the beginning of the war, when you were relatively safer in Moldova, what made you go back to the war in Odessa?
4. Two years in, is complacency towards the “war” starting to show in the people there?
5. Is it appropriate to pray imprecatory psalms over Russia? How do you not hate them?
6. How have you seen God continue to work and the church continue to minister or grow during the war? Admittedly, you have been answering this question regularly in the telegram group, but just in case people aren’t following along day-to-day…
7. Are our bombings and drones becoming like car accidents to us here on the other side of the world or are you fearful that each one could hit your apartment, church, or car?
8. Is Ukrainian going to take over as the main language in Odesa, and are you learning it or already fluent in it?
9. Can you tell us more about the churches that have been planted since the war began? How did God bring that about? How are they worshiping and discipling?
10. How is the ministry coping with the challenges so far?
11. How are the children adapting to living in a country at war? What is the new reality for them when their world has been turned upside down?
12. Can you recap what that day was like for you, your family, and your closest friends?
13. How is your marriage doing?
14. How are your kids doing?
15. What spiritual challenges are you and the churches facing here in the second year that you were not facing in the first year?
16. What are some of the faith-building lessons God has taught you that you would want us to grasp as well, even though most of us are not in a country at war?
17. How have these past two years changed the way you view life on earth, and how do you stay joyful and not give way to anxiety?
18. How do we best encourage our brothers and sisters in Christ in Ukraine?
19. How do you spend your romantic time with each other in such difficult times?
20. What is the sentiment on the ground? Is it divided? Are Ukrainians talking about wanting the war to end or being willing to keep going?
21. What are some of the challenges of facing the church in Ukraine?
22. What are some of the better ways to be helping from afar?
