Christian ministries in Ukraine are urging believers throughout the country not to fear, saying their mission remains unchanged even as Russia’s military continues its attack on their land.

“Remember how many times God in His Word says ‘don’t be afraid,'” Kyiv Theological Seminary, located in the Ukrainian capital, wrote on its Facebook page.

Ukraine is one the most Christian nations in Europe, with 78 percent of the population identifying with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, 10 percent with the Roman Catholic Church and 2 percent calling themselves evangelical.
