Donetsk: 50 come to faith

On the day of his 50th birthday, Daniel Rus drove 26 hours for a humanitarian trip to Ukraine – while he was there, he witnessed 50 people indicate that they wanted to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.

Daniel works with the Global Network of Evangelists (part of the Luis Palau Association) and this was his 31st humanitarian trip to Ukraine. During the visit, he and his team were able to run seven events where they distributed food and shared the gospel – two were in churches and the rest were outside. While in the city of Druzhkivka, Daniel preached about Christ to a packed room and, at the end, 50 people raised their hands indicating they wanted to give their life to Christ.

‘Even though the challenge with the language was real, God touched the heart of many listening.’ Daniel shared. ‘It was a very special moment. I saw one of the ladies sitting in the first row crying most of the time as I shared the gospel. Afterwards, she grabbed one of my interpreters and came to tell me that she had decided to put her faith in Jesus!’
