From: The Roys Report By Erik Tryggestad
Walls of pure white, adorned with a single, thin wooden cross, surround a group of 35 worshipers on Sunday morning in Irpin, Ukraine.
The immaculate simplicity of the Irpin Church of Christ feels like a warm embrace, an answer to the chaos outside these walls — two years of tanks and bombs, bombs and guns.
Most of the congregants are older women. Standing behind them, a young woman leads singing, waving her arms as she follows the lyrics projected on one of the bright, white walls. It’s a Ukrainian-language translation of “10,000 Reasons,” a song that challenges us to bless the Lord, even when our strength is failing.
“For all Your goodness I will keep on singing; 10,000 reasons for my heart to find.”
“You are mighty, God,” prays Ruslan Adamenko. Two days earlier I watched him graduate from the Ukrainian Bible Institute. “Unify us as one body of Christ. May we hear your Word and apply it to our lives.”
