A Russian missile strike targeted The House of the Gospel Church in Zaporizhzhia during a prayer meeting this week. The attack killed minister Ruslan Utyuzh and wounded at least eight others.
Former Ukrainian Parliament member Pavel Unguryan called the incident a direct assault on those seeking to honor God. Mission Eurasia representatives said churches are vital lifelines for suffering communities.
Believers are continuing to stand firm in their faith despite the danger. Many are asking for prayer for Utyuzh’s family and for those worshiping under the shadow of war.
