At Word of Life Ukraine, we see God at work through a variety of ministries as we share the Gospel and help young people grow in their relationship with Jesus. Today, our team includes 22 national missionaries. Take a look at some of the key platforms we use to reach and disciple the next generation.
Twenty years ago, few people could have found Ukraine on a map. Today, people around the world hold strong and often controversial views about it.
Over the past three years, due to war, migration, and loss, Ukraine’s population has dropped from 40 million to approximately 31 million. It is a country with deep Christian roots, predominantly shaped by the Orthodox tradition, yet only 1 in 27 people (about 3.64%) identify with an evangelical faith. Protestant churches are growing, but they are still often viewed with suspicion, seen as something strange or even sect-like. Today the country of Ukraine enjoys such Religious Libery, that it is unparalleled to any European country. Ministry opportunities are vast and diverse.
The spiritual darkness here is not only religious tradition without living faith. It’s also fear, uncertainty, cynicism, and inner compromise. People are asking painful questions: "Where is God? Why did He allow this? Where is justice? How do we move forward?". The Gospel speaks directly into this pain: God is not silent. He has not abandoned us. He reigns even in the chaos. There is eternal life — and death is not the end.
For many, Ukraine is a headline, geopolitics, or a conspiracy theory. For us, Ukraine is about real people — weary, courageous, and strong — facing the greatest trial of their lives. And we know: in this darkness, they need light. They need Christ. When they encounter Him, they find security, courage, hope, and the strength to resist evil with love. It is here, in the midst of suffering, that they can discover true faith and real freedom.
At Word of Life Ukraine, our desire is to stand with our people during these challenging times—supporting the next generation as they take their next step with Jesus.
