Rivne – Cita

The heart of the Mission is in Rivne. Mission director Taras Sen founded the Christ is the Answer church in Rivne.

It was there that they first began to use and implement various instruments of the Mission’s ministry to preach the Gospel, which later began to be practiced in other regions. The Mission’s media department also operates in Rivne.

Christ is the Answer missionaries conduct charity eye clinics, children’s and themed holidays for the city and region residents with the support of local authorities, and distribute evangelistic materials.

Every day in the center of Rivne there is an evangelistic tent where everyone can receive spiritual counseling, prayer and literature for spiritual development.

At the beginning of the full-scale war in 2022, a team of missionaries and volunteers in Rivne organized temporary accommodation, food, and social and psychological assistance for internally displaced persons.

The church operated a food warehouse to store and pack humanitarian aid before sending it to the war zones to people in need.

The missionaries in Rivne also helped women and children to cross the border with Poland, Romania and Moldova in search of a safe place.

For internally displaced persons from different regions of Ukraine who found refuge in Rivne, the missionaries organized free eye clinics and distributed food packages.
