Anabaptists are evacuating and heading south, with the hopes of finding hospitality with believers outside the country.

The old woodcutter spoke again. “It is impossible to talk with you. You always draw conclusions. Life is so vast, yet you judge all of life with one page or one word. You see only a fragment. Unless you know the whole story, how can you judge?"

This has the potential to be one of the worst disasters in Europe since WW2.

Indeed.

This is a time for prayer and fasting.

Is it biblical? Is it Christlike? Is it loving? Is it true? How can I find out?

Generally I find our government to be fear mongering, but this time they called it right. I expect the initial forces of Ukraine to be swept aside in under a week and then we will see how they plan to conduct their regime change without occupation.

Personally, I don't think the west will have the will to engage in a war with Russia, I think its going to be a proxy war and continue the supposed ended cold war.

We’ve just heard from family members of those in Ukraine that men are already being rounded up and drafted from 18-60 years and no males are allowed to leave the country. Most of our churches are at the borders of Romania and Hungary, weve Heard- it’s been a nightmare to contact family there.
