Can God really bring good out of the worst situations?In this confronting yet hopeful message, Igor Bandura, Vice President for International Affairs for All-Ukrainian Union of Associations of Evangelical Christian-Baptists, shares how the Ukrainian church is not just surviving—but thriving—amidst the devastation of war.
Speaking from Philippians 1:12–14, Igor draws parallels between the Apostle Paul's imprisonment and the suffering of Ukraine, showing how God is using tragedy to advance the Gospel in ways no one could have imagined. From new churches planted across Europe to thousands of baptisms and chaplaincy ministries on the frontlines, this is a testimony of faith, resilience, and divine purpose.
Whether you're facing personal struggles or global heartbreak, this message will inspire you to see your pain through God's eyes and trust that even the worst can serve the best.
🙏 Join us in praying for Ukraine, and be encouraged to let your own hardships become a platform for hope.
