One year of war

Bible Society worker, Rostyslav shares about life in Ukraine 12 months into the occupation.

• More than 8.9 thousand civilians have lost their lives in Ukraine during the conflict.

• 8.2 million Ukrainians have sought refuge across Europe, with a further estimated 8 million displaced within the country.

A year after the war began, Ukraine is still in the valley of darkness.

Thousands of civilians have been killed. Towns lie in ruins. Citizens have experienced terrible violence and are inhumanely denied access to food, water and medical treatment.

Nowhere is safe. Rockets have hit even the most remote regions of the country.

But even in the darkest times, there is hope. Bible Society workers are at work delivering Bibles and urgent supplies to Ukrainians amidst the horrors of war.

“Witnessing how fragile life is causes you to turn your thoughts to God, to eternity, to spiritual things,” says Rostyslav of Bible Society Ukraine. “There’s no other way than to just stay connected to the source of humanness and guidance: The Bible.”

Help bring the comfort and encouragement of God’s word to Ukraine through the distribution of 150,500 Bibles.
