More Ukrainians Are Requesting Bibles Amid War Against Russia

Background

(Worthy News) – The US-based Eastern European Mission (EEM) Bible distribution ministry recently reported that, amid the continuing devastating war against Russia’s invasion, Ukrainians have requested an increasing number of Bibles to be sent to be delivered in their language, The Christian Post (CP) reports.

The increased request for Ukrainian-language Bibles is all the more notable given that Ukrainians are being forced to flee their homes to escape Russian bombardments. Nearly 6.8 million Ukrainian refugees have fled the country, while 4 million are displaced inside it.

The request implies Ukrainians are taking the Gospel message with them to wherever they find shelter, CP notes.”God uses evil, and this war is definitely not from a good place, but God will use it,” EEM Vice President Dirk Smith told CP.

“We’re seeing Ukrainians travel, and I think it’s why the request for Ukrainian Bibles has increased because you’ve got Ukrainian believers who are migrating, and they’re traveling alongside or staying with Ukrainians who are non-believers,” Smith explained.

“And the non-believers are looking at the believers and going, ‘OK, we’re experiencing the same hell, but you’re doing it very, you’re handling this in a different way,'” Smith continued. “With a peace, dare I say, that surpasses understanding. And the non-believers ask, ‘How is that?’ and the believers are there to share Jesus.”

Facing down the war, EEM still prints Bibles in Kyiv and Western Ukraine, CP noted. EEM also works with NGOs, ministries, and churches run by Ukrainians on the ground in Ukraine.
