Vitaliy Sokol | Posted on June 2022 |

This April, we facilitated a Kairos class in western Ukraine for war refugees. These people had escaped from Kharkov and Mariupol, places of terrible fighting, destruction, and danger. Kairos focuses on God’s good and unstoppable plan to reach the nations with the Gospel and emphasizes reaching unreached people groups.

Tracing God’s powerful hand working all through history to spread the glory of the Gospel through all the earth inspires and comforts. Even this war is not randomly evil nor unredeemable. God is fulfilling His purposes to spread the Good News of His Son throughout the earth.
