FROM CHURCHLEADERS:
LVIV, Ukraine (BP) Baptists in Western Ukraine have made plans to shelter fellow believers in the case of a Russian invasion at Ukraine’s eastern border, a Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary graduate who now leads a Baptist seminary in Ukraine told Baptist Press.
“If Russia will invade, they will invade in eastern part and northern part, and a little bit of south,” said Yarsolav “Slavik” Pyzh, president of Ukrainian Baptist Theological Seminary (UBTS) in Lviv who holds a doctorate from SWBTS.
Ukraine Baptists Prepare for Possible Russian Invasion
FROM CBN: INTERNATIONAL. Russia has amassed more than 100,000 troops on their border with Ukraine in recent months and this week, the U.S. State Department pulled all non-essential embassy staff and their families out of Ukraine. Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has offered to mediate between the two countries and if war erupts, CBN News has learned there are plans to potentially evacuate Ukrainian Jews. CBN’s Orphan’s Promise, which has 32 projects near the frontlines in Eastern Ukraine, also has plans to evacuate all involved should there be a dramatic escalation. Meanwhile, one Ukrainian pastor has told CBN News that people are open to learning more about Jesus Christ like never before.
