Our Sister's Terrifying Escape From Ukraine and the Birth Of Her Baby with Ellissa Petrenko

Our Sister's Terrifying Escape From Ukraine and the Birth Of Her Baby with Ellissa Petrenko

Ep. 074 – It was a terrifying day for everyone in the country of Ukraine. The people of Ukraine woke up very early to radio stations and TV channels announcing that Russia had invaded their beloved homeland. Our sister woke up to sounds of bombing not far from her house. It was (and is) a literal nightmare.

We have the honor of hearing from our sister, Ellissa Petrenko, for her very first interview about that terrifying day (and the days that followed). Listen as she shares the five day journey of trying to escape the country, all while being nine months pregnant.

This is also a great reminder to continue praying for all the people of Ukraine. Pray first and foremost that they would come to know Jesus  in a personal way.
