Theology helps people face huge challenges during Ukraine War - Langham Scholar Oleksandr Geychenko, Bible college principal

It's been an astonishing four and a half years since the start of full-scale war in Ukraine. During that time, we have kept in touch with and prayed for our Langham staff and ministry contacts in the country who are still facing unimaginable pain and pressure as the bombings continue. So it was a huge privilege to hear from Oleksandr on our Langham Live call last month and find out about his ministry as the head of a Bible college in Odesa. He's found that reflecting theologically on injustice, pain and trauma has actually helped people to face tremendous challenges. And Oleksandr is so grateful for the prayers of believers around the world, as a deep expression of the body of Christ. Please take the time to listen to this powerful interview.

The interview was conducted by our Deputy Development Manager Mark Armstrong.
