True Stormriders: Church bombing in Ukraine

Here is an article from Voice of the Martyrs website. It is about a church that was bombed in Ukraine last month. Please keep the pastor and his family in your prayers and all those who are persecuted for spreading the Gospel.

UKRAINE - Church bombed in Ukraine

On Oct. 14, a homemade bomb was thrown into the Calvary Chapel church building in Kaharlyk, Ukraine, according to The Voice of the Martyrs contacts. The building is also the residence of Pastor Wayne Zschech and his family.

At 7 a.m., Pastor Zschech's wife awoke to the smell of smoke. Fire officials put out the blaze which caused minor damage to the building. The six people asleep in the church at the time of the attack escaped without injury. The assailants spray painted "Out with Sects" and "OYH," an abbreviated name for a Ukrainian Nationalist movement, on the church wall. Pastor Zschech later said, "We pray that the Lord would call people to salvation and that he would build up his body. We rejoice in being chosen worthy to suffer for the sake of our Lord and his Gospel. We do also pray for safety but hold this prayer out with open hands."

Thank God no one was hurt in this attack. Pray that the perpetrators of this attack will be brought to justice and come to faith in Christ.
