Demand for Bibles has multiplied exponentially in Ukraine since the vicious Russian invasion, new figures are revealing.
Some national church leaders are comparing the situation to that of immediate post-Communist days, when there was a significant and strong spiritual movement, resulting in many conversions to Christ. The Ukrainian Bible Society reports that in the first nine months of 2022, more than 359,000 Bibles were given out – at least two and a half times more than the number distributed in 2020. The trauma of the war, far from setting many hearts against God, has in fact created a desire in many thousands to know God and the nearness of His presence.
Christian believers have become increasingly aware of a deeper need in many Ukrainian hearts – the need for spiritual blessing and support. Reports coming out of Ukraine tell of a remarkable spiritual hunger.
