Join the Pachyderms as we welcome Pastor Igor Bandura, Vice President for International Affairs of the Baptist Union of Ukraine. 

Pastor Bandura is a prominent Baptist faith leader from Ukraine visiting the US in an effort to meet with community leaders and churches and share first-hand knowledge of the religious persecution happening to Christians and evangelicals and the destruction of churches in Ukraine by Russian forces. 

Pastor Bandura represents about 6,000 churches, the largest group of Protestant churches in Europe. Operating in Ukraine, the group's local pastors and congregations help their neighbors day after day as relentless missile attacks continue:  Video: https://youtu.be/1iWYejRyD-c?feature=shared
