Ukraine: 1,000 new churches coming?

Hundreds of men and women from churches across Ukraine have gathered in Kyiv for a church-planting summit, where they heard about an exciting vision to plant 1,000 new churches in the country within the next 12 years.

The conference, run by the All Ukrainian Union of Evangelical Christian-Baptists, was held in the Baptist house of prayer ‘Temple of Peace’. Those gathered considered the theme ‘Invincible Church’ through times of congregational worship and teaching, breakout seminars, testimonies, and presentations from various organisations.

The summit, organised by head of the Ukrainian Baptist’s church-planting committee, Ruslan Shiringa, is the first stage in a new church-planting initiative. Hundreds of churches have closed as a result of Russia’s invasion, which brought with it the targeted persecution of evangelical Christians. Additionally, many throughout the nation have long been without local gospel church access – there is substantial need for new churches to be planted across Ukraine.
