If our area lost all power and communications, would our church still function? If it did, would we still go? For Ukrainian churches, the answer is Yes.
Mission Network News reports how Christians are managing to gather and worship despite the latest Russian attacks on Ukraine’s power grids.

“We live in a time in which you can actually have light using your cell phones”, he says. People are using their phones to diffuse light throughout the room, which they can then use to gather, read and pray.
