On the frontlines of Ukraine, the church is standing strong. In at least one case, it just happens to physically stand right between Kyiv and the Russian army.
But Pastor Andrei Martinov of Grace Generation church isn’t nervous. He laughs, “No! No. No. We just pray.”
Within hours of Russia’s invasion, this prominent evangelical church in Kyiv started holding prayer services every four hours.
“We received a revelation from God that we are to pray, and the more the church is praying, it destroys the enemy and destructs their ability to shoot at Ukrainian territories, civilian targets, and our Ukrainian military,” Pastor Andrei said.
He firmly believes God is answering those prayers as Ukraine’s military fights to rebuff Russian forces.
